Using V-Tracks; Switching V-Tracks - Boss BR-1200CD Owner's Manual

Using V-Tracks

Although the BR-1200CD is a 16-track multi-track recorder,
you can select any one of sixteen V-Tracks for each of these
tracks. In this way, you can use the BR-1200CD as if it were
actually a 256-track multi-track recorder. In other words, V-
Tracks can be used to make multiple recordings of guitar
solos, vocals, etc. without having to delete any of these takes,
and this ensures that the best performance can be selected
later on. What's more, you can also choose the best parts
from takes on a number of different V-Tracks and combine
them onto a single track.
