Mobile-sized multifunction
recorder
The MICRO BR is a mobile-sized, multitrack
recorder designed for portability.

Easy operation

The MICRO BR is a digital multitrack recorder
that's designed to be easily operated even by a
beginner. From recording your performance all
the way to mixdown, you'll be able to enjoy the
power of digital multitrack recording as soon as
you take the MICRO BR out of its box.
Complete music production
workstation
The MICRO BR features workstation
functionality, which lets you create a finished
song without needing to use any other
equipment.
Versatile audio inputs and
effects
The input jacks let you directly connect your
electric guitar or bass, or a stereo microphone or
line output device. There's also a built-in
microphone.
Effects powered by COSM technology can be
applied to the audio input, producing a wide
range of variation.

Introducing the MICRO BR
What is COSM (Composite
Object Sound Modeling)?
Modeling technology allows the sonic
character of actual physical objects or
materials to be digitally simulated. COSM is
Roland's proprietary technology, and is an
evolutionary advancement upon several
such sound modeling methods, allowing a
whole new range of sounds to be created.
Multitrack recording
You can record your performance on separate
tracks.
There are four tracks that can be played back
simultaneously, and each track has eight "virtual
tracks" (V-tracks).
For example, you can record several takes of a
guitar solo on different V-tracks, and choose the
best one later.
"Section 1. Recording and playing back" (p. 40)
You can also play back the four tracks and mix
them down to a V-track, so there's no need to
erase anything even if you've used all the tracks.
