Practicing Along With An Mp3/Wav File (Phrase Trainer); Changing The Playback Speed (Time Stretch) - Boss MICRO BR Owner's Manual

Practicing along with
an MP3/WAV file
(Phrase Trainer)
MP3 mode includes a "Phrase Trainer" function
that provides an effective way for you to practice
a song.
• The "Time Stretch" function lets you change the
playback speed of the audio file.
• The "Center Cancel" function lets you eliminate
the sounds that are panned to the center, and use
the song for "minus-one" practicing.
• The Time Stretch and Center Cancel functions can
be used simultaneously.
Using the demo song, let's try out the Time
Stretch function and the Center Cancel function.

Range: 25–200%
A setting of 100% (initial value) will play the
song at its original speed, a setting of 50% at
half-speed, and a setting of 25% at quarter-
speed. The play speed doubles if the
parameter is set to 200%.
If Time Stretch parameter is set excluding
100%, the audio quality of the playback will
be less. This is not a malfunction. Please set
the parameter to 100% when listening to the
