The BR-80 Multitrack Recorder—MTR Mode
Let's explore MTR mode—it's where you'll construct full song arrangements
using the BR-80 as a multitrack recorder. We'll start by listening to the BR-80
demos on the factory-installed SD card.
Switch over to MTR mode by briefly pressing the power
button once so the MTR indicator lights, and the MTR-mode
home screen appears.
After recording, this
shows the length of your
recording, with "T, for
"Time," in front.
