The BR1600CD has a Boss GT6 built in for incredible guitar effects from chorus to wah-wah (optional EV5) and amp modeling with mic placement. Not just a few weak effects for so called
direct recording into a regular (wrong impedance!) input. The BR1600 even includes Roland's acclaimed mic modeling. The PCM drum sounds (add your own!) are second to none.

V-LINK requires Edirol DV7-PR with software version 1.50 or higher.
The built-in drum sequencer insures you can do all your work without an external sequencer. Or load WAV/AIFF file loops to the dedicated loop tracks; they will instantly time lock to your tempo map. The BR includes a disk of great loop files, and the hard-drive already comes stock with a bunch of useful loops ready to load.
Overdub a bass part by plugging any MIDI keyboard into the BR1600's MIDI in, or play it from the front panel buttons. A cooler way to work is to enter your chord changes into the chord track and have the BR provide different bass parts for you to check out, keep, or build on.
The Chord Track also lets you instantly create realistic vocal harmonies by telling the BR what intervals you want. The Harmony Sequence function offers instant background harmonies. Of course, it also auto corrects your vocal pitches, a first in a digital audio workstation. So you have bass pattern/programmed and harmony auto creation!
Then you mixdown, staying in the linear digital domain using Roland's acclaimed
Mastering Tool Kit from the VS recorders. Burn your CD. Save your projects to your computer via USB or archive them to the built in CD burner. Everything you need, from killer guitar tones, modern hi-fi drums, time corrected loops, bass sounds, background vocals and mastered CDs are available in this one incredible workstation.
Before you get locked into spec/price wars with other digital recorders, make sure you do not need to buy additional preamps, effects, guitar boxes, drum machines, samplers and modules - to match the firepower of the amazing Boss BR1600CD.
Easy Multitrack Recording
The BR1600CD includes eight sweet-sounding XLR microphone inputs with phantom power. Use them to mic up a drum set or to record your entire band in a single pass. Recording eight tracks at once is easy, thanks to a new
Multi-Track recording mode; just pick your inputs and start recording while taking advantage of powerful channel effects like a compressor, 3-band EQ and bass cut filter.
Superb Guitar and Vocal Effects
Plug into the BR1600CD and you’ve got an arsenal of world-class BOSS effects ranging from reverb, delay and modulation to the latest modeling effects for guitar, bass and vocals. These include powerful overdrive/distortion and amp modeling identical to the BOSS GT6, acoustic and bass effects, plus mic modeling and a new Vocal Tool Box. This special algorithm includes auto pitch correction to keep you in tune, plus a Harmony Sequence function for creating realistic harmonies; no background singers needed!
Build Your Own Backing Tracks
The BR1600CD now includes separate Drum, Bass and Loop Phrase tracks for creating complete backing arrangements. The Drum and Bass tracks come with high-quality PCM sounds. The Loop Phrase track can be loaded with user samples, or you can choose from a collection of loop phrases pre-loaded onto the hard disk. Using these tracks, you can build professional-quality arrangements for your guitar and vocals.
