002c
• Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit or its AC adaptor.
.........................................................................................................
003
• Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts within it (except when this manual provides specific instructions directing you to do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.
.........................................................................................................
004
• Never install the unit in any of the following locations.
• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of heat-generating equipment); or are
• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or are
• Exposed to steam or smoke; or are
• Subject to salt exposure; or are
• Humid; or are
• Exposed to rain; or are
• Dusty or sandy; or are
• Subject to high levels of vibration and shakiness.
.........................................................................................................
007
• Make sure you always have the unit placed so it is level and sure to remain stable. Never place it on stands that could wobble, or on inclined surfaces.
.........................................................................................................
008c
• Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with the unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the installation matches the input voltage specified on the AC adaptor’s body.

.........................................................................................................
009
• Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord, nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the cord, producing severed elements and short circuits. Damaged cords are fire and shock hazards!
.........................................................................................................
010
• This unit, either alone or in combination with an amplifier and headphones or speakers, may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for a long period of time at a high volume level, or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should immediately stop using the unit, and consult an audiologist.
.........................................................................................................
011
• Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind
(water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.
.........................................................................................................
012c
• If any of the following occurs, immediately turn off the power, remove the AC adaptor from the outlet, and disconnect the USB cable.

014
• Protect the unit from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
.........................................................................................................
015
• Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to share an outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices. Be especially careful when using extension cords—the total power used by all devices you have connected to the extension cord’s outlet must never exceed the power rating (watts/amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive loads can cause the insulation on the cord to heat up and eventually melt through.
.........................................................................................................
016

Any accumulation of dust between the power plug and the power outlet can result in poor insulation and lead to fire.
.........................................................................................................
104
• Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be placed so they are out of the reach of children.
.........................................................................................................
106
• Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the unit.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Power Supply:
Use of Batteries
301
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.
302
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.
303a
• The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the unit’s power consumption is relatively high. Should you prefer to use batteries, please use the alkaline type.
304a
• When installing or replacing batteries, always turn off the power on this unit and disconnect any other devices you may have connected. This way, you can prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
307
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
Placement
351
• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.
352a
• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
352b
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.
354a
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes.
Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
355b
• When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit.
Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.
360
• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface.
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.
Maintenance
401a
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water.
To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
402
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Repairs and Data
452
• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs.
Important data should always be backed up on an SD card, a computer, or written down on paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and
Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
Additional Precautions
551
• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the unit’s memory on an SD card or a computer.
552
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in the unit’s memory or an SD card once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
553
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
BR800_e.book 7 ページ 2010年11月2日 火曜日 午前8時28分
IMPORTANT NOTES
554
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
556
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.
558a
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).
559a
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible.
Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
561
• Use only the specified expression pedal (Roland
EV-5, BOSS FV-500L/FV-500H; sold separately).
By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.
562
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.
Before Using SD Cards
Using SD Cards
704
• Carefully insert the SD card all the way in—until it is firmly in place.
705
• Never touch the terminals of the SD card. Also, avoid getting the terminals dirty.
708
• SD cards are constructed using precision components; handle the cards carefully, paying particular note to the following.
• To prevent damage to the cards from static electricity, be sure to discharge any static electricity from your own body before handling the cards.
• Do not touch or allow metal to come into contact with the contact portion of the cards.
• Do not bend, drop, or subject cards to strong shock or vibration.
• Do not keep cards in direct sunlight, in closed vehicles, or other such locations.
• Do not allow cards to become wet.
• Do not disassemble or modify the cards.
Handling DVD-ROMs
801
• Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside
(encoded surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty DVD-
ROM discs may not be read properly. Keep your discs clean using a commercially available DVD cleaner.
Copyright
851
• Recording, duplication, distribution, sale, lease, performance, or broadcast of copyrighted material (musical works, visual works, broadcasts, live performances, etc.) belonging to a third party in part or in whole without the permission of the copyright owner is forbidden by law.
852
• This product can be used to record or duplicate audio or visual material without being limited by certain technological copy-protection measures. This is due to the fact that this product is intended to be used for the purpose of producing original music or video material, and is therefore designed so that material that does not infringe copyrights belonging to others (for example, your own original works) can be recorded or duplicated freely.
853
• Do not use this unit for purposes that could infringe on a copyright held by a third party. We assume no responsibility whatsoever with regard to any infringements of third-party copyrights arising through your use of this unit.
Operating Buttons
• The BR-800’s top panel employs touch sensors. To prevent the touch sensors from malfunctioning, please observe the following precautions.
• During the time from when you turn on the power until the name of a song appears, do not touch the top panel and do not allow any objects to come into contact with it.
• While using the BR-800, keep all cables and similar items away from the top panel, so they don’t come into contact with it. Do not place any objects on the panel.

Main Features
The BR-800 is a digital recorder that allows even the beginner to create songs easily.
From recording to mastering, this convenient device makes it easy for you to start enjoying the benefits of digital recording.
Four-Track Simultaneous
Recording/Eight-Track
Simultaneous Playback
The BR-800 provides recording capabilities to meet a wide range of needs.
Numerous High-Quality
Effects (p. 53, p. 111)
• COSM effects for electric guitar/bass are taken from the BOSS GT-10/10B.
• Effects for vocals which provide for pitch correction, and those that realistically model the sound of an acoustic guitar are provided.
• Since the BR-800 comes equipped with mastering effects that you can use at anytime, as well as loop effects, it alone is just about all you need for creating some truly high-quality songs.
Rhythm Function (p. 87)
Comes with Rhythm production functionality that offers high-quality drum sounds.
You can use this as a guide during recording, or create your own original rhythm part and record it along with your performance.
EZ Recording Function (p. 26)
The EZ Recording function provides quick setup for various types of recording.
Song Sketch Function (p. 50)
The Song Sketch function lets you record and play back stereo WAV files.
This is a convenient way to record audio memos of your musical ideas and phrases.
Connecting via USB (p. 117)
There are three ways of powering the unit: with an AC adaptor, with batteries, or by connecting it to a USB bus. This means that you can use the BR-800 just about anywhere.
Built-in Stereo Microphones
The built-in stereo microphones provide a convenient way to record your band performance or acoustic instruments.
Three-Way Power Supply
The BR-800 can be operated using an AC adaptor, batteries, or USB bus power.
About COSM (Composite Object Sound
Modeling)
Composite Object Sound Modeling–or “COSM” for short–is BOSS/Roland’s innovative and powerful technology that’s used to digitally recreate the sound of classic musical instruments and effects. COSM analyzes the many factors that make up the original sound–including its electrical and physical characteristics–and creates a digital model that accurately reproduces the original.

Attach the battery cover.
• When turning the unit upside-down, get a bunch of newspapers or magazines, and place them under the four corners or at both ends to prevent damage to the buttons and controls. Also, you should try to orient the unit so no buttons or controls get damaged.
• When turning the unit upside-down, handle with care to avoid dropping it, or allowing it to fall or tip over.
• If used improperly, batteries may explode or leak and cause damage or injury. In the interest of safety, please read and observe the following precautions.
• Carefully follow the installation instructions for batteries, and make sure you observe the correct polarity.
• Avoid using new batteries together with used ones. In addition, avoid mixing different types of batteries.
• Remove the batteries whenever the unit is to remain unused for an extended period of time.
• If a battery has leaked, use a soft piece of cloth or paper towel to wipe all remnants of the discharge from the battery compartment. Then install new batteries. To avoid inflammation of the skin, make sure that none of the battery discharge gets onto your hands or skin. Exercise the utmost caution so that none of the discharge gets near your eyes. Immediately rinse the affected area with running water if any of the discharge has entered the eyes.
• Never keep batteries together with metallic objects such as ballpoint pens, necklaces, hairpins, etc.
• We recommend that you use alkaline batteries, which have a longer life span.
• When the batteries run low, the display will indicate “Battery Low!” When this message appears, replace the batteries as soon as possible.
• The battery life will depend on the conditions of use and on the model of batteries. It will also be affected by the type and capacity of the SD card.

Making Connections
• To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.
• Howling could be produced depending on the location of microphones relative to speakers. This can be remedied by:
1. Changing the orientation of the microphone(s).
2. Relocating microphone(s) at a greater distance from speakers.
3. Lowering volume levels.
• This instrument is equipped with balanced (XLR/
TRS) type jacks. Wiring diagrams for these jacks are shown below. Make connections after first checking the wiring diagrams of other equipment you intend to connect.
The XLR connector of INPUT 4 can provide 48 V phantom power, allowing you to connect a
phantom-powered condenser microphone (p. 142).
fig.XLR/TRSJack.eps
• Some connection cables contain resistors. When connection cables with resistors are used, the sound level may be extremely low, or impossible to hear.
For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.
• When using the FS-5U foot switch (sold separately), set the polarity switch as shown below.
fig.00-130.eps
Polarity Switch
• Use only the specified expression pedal (Roland
EV-5, BOSS FV-500L/FV-500H; sold separately).
By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.
• When using an expression pedal, set the pedal’s
MIN volume to “0.”
Using the Cord Hook
A slot (cord hook) for securing the AC adaptor cord is built into the bottom of the BR-800.
To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit
(should the plug be pulled out accidentally), and to avoid applying undue stress to the AC adaptor jack, anchor the power cord using the cord hook, as shown in the illustration.
fig.CordHook02.eps
• Do not use excessive force when pressing the cord into the cord hook. Doing so may break the cord.
• When turning the unit upside-down, get a bunch of newspapers or magazines, and place them under the four corners or at both ends to prevent damage to the buttons and controls. Also, you should try to orient the unit so no buttons or controls get damaged.
• When turning the unit upside-down, handle with care to avoid dropping it, or allowing it to fall or tip over.

❒
Have connections with your external equipment been made correctly?
❒
Are the volume controls of the BR-800 and the connected equipment set to the minimum position?
❒
Is the SD card inserted? (p. 146)
2
Lower the BR-800’s [MASTER] fader.

fig.P-On02.eps
5
Switch on the power to the equipment connected to
LINE OUT jacks.
• Make sure that the recorder is stopped before you switch off the BR-800’s power. If you turn off the power during recording or playback, the data, mixer settings, or effect patch data will be lost.
• When using the AC adaptor, take care that the AC adaptor is not unplugged during use. Data may be lost if the AC adaptor is unplugged during operation.
• When powering the unit on power from a USB bus, exercise due caution in preventing the USB cable from being disconnected during use of the unit. You risk damaging your data should the
USB cable get disconnected.
• Turning the power off while the display indicates
“Keep power on!” will result in loss of data. Never turn off the power while this indication is shown.
• This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after power up is required before the unit will operate normally.
• When the BR-800 is shipped from the factory, an
SD card is inserted in the MEMORY CARD slot.
• Always make sure to have the volume level turned down before switching on power. Even with the volume all the way down, you may still hear some sound when the power is switched on, but this is normal, and does not indicate a malfunction.
• Do not touch the buttons while turning on the
BR-800’s power.
The unit might malfunction if you turn on the power while touching a button.

Recording Additional Performances
(Overdubbing)
Tracks whose track [PLAY] button is lit or blinking already contain recorded sound.
The process of listening to previously recorded sound while you record additional material on another track is called
“overdubbing.” This allows you to record parts such as bass, guitar, and vocals on separate tracks, and then adjust their volume balance and panning afterward, or re-record the performance of a specific part.

The [PLAY] button will light green, and the [REC] button will light red.
Only the sound you’re performing now will be recorded on the new track; the sound of the tracks that are playing back will not be recorded.
* If you turn down the [REC LEVEL] knob during recording to lower the monitoring volume of the input source, the sound will be recorded on the track at a lower volume. This might cause noise to be more obtrusive when you raise the track’s volume during playback.
If you want to lower the monitoring volume of the input source during recording, use the [MASTER] fader to lower the volume. If you want to adjust the volume of the performances that are playing back, use the track faders of each track.
6
When you’ve finished recording, press the [STOP] button.
• Be aware that if you record on a track that already contains recorded sound, the previous recording will be erased.
• If you record sound that’s shorter than one second, that sound cannot be played back.
A useful tip for overdubbing
When recording new material while listening to previously recorded material, the sound you’re currently playing can be buried in the previously recorded sounds that are playing back, making it difficult to hear yourself. If this is the case, you can make it easier to hear yourself by slightly lowering the faders of the playback tracks, or by turning the pan of the playback tracks all the way to the left
(right) while turning the pan of the sound you’re currently playing all the way to the right (left).

Re-Recording Only Over a
Mistake (Punch-In/Out)
When recording, there may be times when you made a mistake or were unable to play as you intended. In such cases, you can use punch-in/out to re-record only the region you specify.
While the track plays, you can “punch-in” to switch from playback to record; then you can “punch-out” to resume playback, all without stopping.
Punch-in at the point where you want to start re-recording, and then punch-out when you want to stop re-recording.

Re-Recording Only Over a Mistake (Punch-In/Out)
■
Using a foot switch
If you’re recording an instrumental performance by yourself and simultaneously operating the recording system, it’s convenient to use a separately sold foot switch
(e.g., BOSS FS-5U or Roland DP-2) so that operations can be performed using your foot.
Connect your foot switch to the FOOT SW/EXP PEDAL jack, and change the function of the FOOT SW/EXP PEDAL jack as follows.

Auto Punch-In/Out
“Auto punch-in/out” is the operation of automatically punching-in/out at the locations you specify beforehand.
This is useful when you want to punch-in/out at precise locations, or when you want punch-in/out to occur automatically so that you can concentrate on your playing.
* When using auto punch-in/out, there must be more than 1.0 seconds between the punch-in and punch-out points.

Cancelling an Operation (UNDO/REDO)
There may be times when you would like to cancel the result of an operation; for example, when recording, you might not have been able to record as you intended, or you might have made a mistake when making editing settings.
In such cases, you can use “Undo.”
Undo means to return to the state prior to the most recent operation. If you decide to cancel Undo, you can use
“Redo.”
For example, let’s suppose that you were using punch-in recording, and recorded the same region twice in succession. If you wanted to cancel the most recent recording and return to the state just after the first recording, you would execute the Undo operation.
After executing Undo, you could execute Redo to cancel the
Undo and return to the state just after the second recording.

Using Insert Effects
The BR-800 has independent processors for four different kinds of effects: insert effects, loop effects, track EQ, and mastering effects.
You can use these simultaneously, and make settings for each as appropriate for your needs.
This chapter explains how to edit the insert effect processor, and how to save your edited settings.
“Adding a Sense of Spaciousness” (p. 83)
“Adjusting the Tone of Each Track” (p. 86)
Not only can you use an insert effect during recording, you can also apply an effect to the sound of each track during mixdown.
For details, refer to “Changing the Location of the
Insert Effect (LOCATION)” (p. 58).
Effect Patches and Banks
By calling up “effect patches,” you can switch the effects used by the insert effect and the parameters of each effect.
The BR-800 provides a variety of effect patches suitable for use with vocals and a variety of instruments. These effect patches are organized by their type into six “banks.” fig.03-010.eps
BANK
Effect patches are further organized within each bank as follows.
Preset patches
Preset patches already contain patch data; although you are free to edit these settings, you cannot write modified settings into the preset patches.
User patches
User patches can be rewritten, and the user patch data is stored in the BR-800’s internal memory. If you’ve created a patch and would like to use it in another song as well, it’s convenient to store it as a user patch.
Song patches
Song patches can be rewritten in the same way as user patches, but the patch data is stored on the SD card along with the song data.
This is convenient if you used the patch when recording a performance, and would like to save it together with the song.

THRESHOLD
Turns the NOISE SUPPRESSOR effect on/ off.
Adjust this parameter as appropriate for the volume of the noise.
If the noise level is high, a higher setting is appropriate. If the noise level is low, a lower setting is appropriate. Adjust this value until the decay of the guitar sound is as natural as possible.
* High settings for the threshold parameter may result in there being no sound when you play with your guitar volume turned down.

Adding a Sense of Spaciousness
By making use of the BR-800’s onboard “Loop Effects,” you can add a sense of spaciousness and depth to your sounds.
You can adjust the effect depth by adjusting the send level from each input or track to the loop effect.
Since each input and track has its own independent send level, you can make adjustments separately; for example, you might apply deep reverberation to the vocal, but shallow reverberation to the drums.

Overview of the Rhythm Section
The BR-800 provides a dedicated rhythm generator that is separate from the audio tracks 1–7/8.
You can use this rhythm as a guide during recording, or create an original rhythm backing by arranging various internal rhythms to match the structure of your song.
Patterns and Arrangements
Broadly speaking, the BR-800’s rhythms consist of
“patterns” and “arrangements.”
■
Patterns
Typically, a drummer playing in a band repeatedly plays fixed sequences one or two measures in length.
On the BR-800, these basic repeated units are called
“patterns.”
An example of a pattern
For a four-beat rhythm, performance data such as the following will be played repeatedly.
fig.04-onpu.eps
Snare drum
Repeat
Kick drum
Pattern
The preset patterns include patterns for intro, verse, fill, and ending. The various types can be distinguished by the characters at the end of the pattern name.
(Ex)
ROCK1-IN (intro)
ROCK1-V1 (verse 1)
ROCK1-V2 (verse 2)
ROCK1-F1 (fill 1)
ROCK1-F2 (fill 2)
ROCK1-E (ending)
“Preset Pattern List” (p. 151)
IN (intro)
These patterns are suitable for an intro
(introduction).
V (verse) 1, 2
These are the main patterns.
1 is the basic pattern, and 2 is a variation of 1.
F (fill) 1, 2
These are ornamental patterns inserted between phrase changes. Choose 1 or 2 depending on the pattern that will follow the fill.
E (ending)
These patterns are suitable for the end of a song.
* You can’t edit the preset patterns or rewrite the data.
Song patterns (S001–S100)
One hundred patterns can be stored for each song on an SD card.
Preset patterns (P001–P327)
The BR-800 provides 327 “preset patterns” (P001–P327) that are suitable for various musical styles such as rock or jazz.
* You can’t edit these patterns or rewrite the data.
For details on how to play patterns, refer to “Playing
Using BR-800 Rhythm Editor
By using “BR-800 Rhythm Editor” you can create your own original patterns, arrangements, and drum kits using a computer.
“BR-800 Rhythm Editor” is provided on the “BR-800
DVD-ROM.” For details on where to find “BR-800
Rhythm Editor,” refer to “ReadmeEN.txt” on the
“BR-800 DVD-ROM.”
* You won’t be able to create patterns or drum kits using just the BR-800.
* You must install the USB driver before you connect
the BR-800 to your computer (p. 118).

■
Arrangements
Although a pattern can be used by itself like a metronome to guide your practicing, that would mean that the rhythm does not change from the beginning to the end of the song.
If you want to create a song that has musical variation, you’ll want to place different patterns in an appropriate order such as intro
➝
chorus
➝
break
➝
ending.
On the BR-800, data that places patterns in a specific order for performance is called an “arrangement.” fig.04-010.eps

About the Drum Sounds
(Drum Kits)
Typically, a drum performance uses a set that includes a variety of percussion instruments (such as kick drum and snare drum) suitable for that musical style.
The BR-800 provides nine different drum sets that are suitable for various styles. Each set is called a “drum kit.”
Preset arrangements (P01–P50)
The BR-800 contains fifty “preset arrangements” (P01–P50) that are suitable for styles such as rock or jazz.
* You can’t edit the preset arrangements or rewrite the data.
The preset arrangements (except for Metro 4/4) have a three measure BREAK (rest) following E (ending), and will then repeat V1 (verse 1).

Creating an Original Arrangement
The BR-800 lets you place patterns in the desired order to make an arrangement, thus creating the structure of your entire song from intro to ending. Once you’ve created an arrangement, you can save it as a song arrangement.
An arrangement can contain up to 999 measures.
Steps
You create a song arrangement by specifying
“steps.” Each step consists of a pattern number and the measure number at which that step will start.
For example, suppose you want to create a song that has the following structure:
Section
Intro
Measure length Pattern
2 measures Pattern P001
Melody A 16 measures Pattern S002
Melody B
Break
8 measures
8 measures
Pattern S003
Pattern S099
Ending 2 measures Pattern P006
To create the song structure described above, you would place the following steps in the arrangement.
Step number Starting measure Pattern number
Step 1 1 P001: ROCK-1 IN
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5

S002: OriginalA
S003: OriginalB
S099: OriginalC
P006: ROCK-1 E
Step 6 37 P327: BREAK
The sections of even a long song’s structure can be specified using only a few steps. The BR-800 lets you use up to fifty steps.
Now let’s try actually creating an arrangement.

• The starting measure cannot be the same as the previous step or any earlier measure.
• You can’t make a setting that would extend beyond the starting measure of the next step.
• When you play back an arrangement in the play screen, and it has played all the way to the end of the arrangement, the pattern assigned to the last step will continue repeating.
If you want the arrangement to stop playing at the last step, assign preset pattern “P327 BREAK
(rest)” to the last step. This will cause rests to be played repeatedly, which is essentially the same as stopping arrangement playback.

Finding the Location at which a Sound
Begins or Ends (Scrub/Preview)
Scrub function
When editing a song, you might need to find the precise location at which a sound begins or the region on which you want to perform auto punch-in recording.
The BR-800 provides a “scrub” function that is a convenient way to find such locations.
Using the scrub function will repeatedly play an extremely short region (approximately 45 milliseconds) that starts or ends at the current location.
Preview function
The preview function plays approximately one second before or after the current location.
By using this function and the scrub function while you move the current location little by little, you can easily find the boundaries between phrases.

What is the mastering effect?
When creating a CD from your recorded songs, it’s important to manage the overall volume so that the loudest section of your songs will stay within the available range of the CD. However this will lower the overall volume, causing the music to sound less powerful.
Additionally, excessive sound in the low frequency range that is difficult for the human ear to hear can cause the level meter to move all the way to the maximum in spite of the fact that the actual sound does not appear to be loud. This can also make your music sound less powerful.
By using the mastering effect, you can make the volume of your song more consistent, and correct the balance of the low-frequency range. We recommend that you use the mastering effect to add the final touch to your song.
* The mastering effect provides 19 “preset patches” (P01–
P16), 19 rewritable “user patches” (U01–U19), and 19
“song patches” (S01–S19) which are stored for each song.

Parameter List
Parameter/
Value
DYNAMICS
Explanation
-20–+20
This adjusts the variation in volume between loud and soft passages in the performance. Raising this setting will decrease the variation in volume. Although this is a convenient way to improve the overall loudness for your song, it will decrease the natural dynamics of the music.
Lowering this setting will increase the variation in volume; while this will make it difficult to obtain overall loudness for your song, the music will be closer to the natural dynamic variation of the original performance.
If this setting is at 0, the patch will produce its standard effect.
TONE
-6–+6
If you raise this setting, the low-frequency and high-frequency ranges will be boosted, producing a more aggressive tone.
If you lower this setting, the low-frequency and high-frequency ranges will not be boosted, and the tone will be mild.
If this setting is at 0, the patch will produce its standard effect.
NATURAL
-50–+50
If you raise this setting, the mastering effect will be applied more gently, producing a more natural impression. Since sudden peaks in volume will still be reproduced without modification, this will make it more difficult to boost the overall loudness.
If you lower this setting, the mastering effect will be applied more rapidly to sudden volume peaks, but the sense of naturalness will be impaired.
If this setting is at 0, the patch will produce its standard effect.

Specifying the Tuner’s
Reference Pitch
When tuning an instrument, the reference pitch is conventionally given as the frequency of the A4 note
(middle A on a piano keyboard).
You can adjust the tuner’s reference pitch in the range of
435–445 Hz.
In the TUNER screen, you can use the dial to set the reference pitch.
With the factory settings, this is set to 440 Hz.

Repeat steps 1–3 to tune each string of your instrument.
If you’re tuning a guitar that has a whammy bar, tuning one string might cause the other strings to drift out of tune. Start by tuning each string to the approximate pitch so that the correct note name is displayed, and then retune each string successively as many times as needed.

Initializing an SD Card (FORMAT)
• When you format a card, the entire contents of that card will be lost. Be sure to back up important
data before you continue (p. 124).
• If you format the SD card that’s included with the
BR-800, the demo song data will be lost.
• Before you use a commercially available SD card, you must format it on the BR-800.
• Make sure that the BR-800’s power is turned off before you insert or remove an SD card.
Inserting or removing an SD card while the power is on may destroy the data on the SD card or damage the SD card itself.
• Depending on the capacity of the SD card, formatting may take several minutes. This does not indicate a malfunction. Do not turn off the power until formatting is completed.
• Never remove the SD card or turn off the power while the message “Keep power on!” is shown.
Doing so will destroy the data on the SD card or damage the SD card itself.

Using a Condenser Microphone
(PHANTOM POWER)
If you’re using a condenser microphone that requires phantom power, turn on the phantom power as follows.
The BR-800 can provide +48 V phantom power to a condenser microphone connected to the XLR connector of
INPUT 4.
1
Press the [MENU] button.
2
Use the CURSOR [ ] [ ] buttons to move the cursor to “SYSTEM,” and press the [ENTER] button.
3
Use the CURSOR [ ] [ ] buttons to move the cursor to “PHANTOM POWER,” and use the dial to turn the setting “ON.”
D_System_Phantom.eps
• You must turn off phantom power unless you’ve connected a condenser microphone that requires phantom power. Supplying phantom power to a dynamic microphone or audio playback device will cause malfunctions. For details on the specifications of your microphone, refer to the owner’s manual for the microphone you’re using.
(The BR-800’s phantom power supply is DC 48V,
10mA Max).
• Before turning the phantom power on/off, you must make sure that the BR-800’s [MASTER] fader, the INPUT SENS [4/MIC R] knob, and the
[REC LEVEL] knob are all minimized. If you turn the phantom power on/off with these faders or knobs raised, high-volume noise will be produced, possibly damaging your amp or speakers.
• Since turning phantom power on will increase the power consumption, we recommend that you use the AC adaptor.
• When you turn on the BR-800’s power, the phantom power setting is reset to “OFF.” You’ll need to turn it “ON” each time you want to use it.
• If you’re using an external microphone preamp or a dedicated external phantom power supply, there’s no need to supply phantom power from the BR-800. In this case, turn the phantom power
“OFF.”

Phantom power will be supplied to the XLR connector of INPUT 4.

SD Cards that Can Be Used with the BR-800
The BR-800 uses SD cards to record and play back.
■
SD cards that are known to work
If using an SD card other than the included one, refer to the
Roland website (http://www.roland.com/) for the most recent information on cards that are known to work with the BR-800.
• The BR-800 supports SD/SDHC cards up to a maximum of 32 GB.
• Some SD card types or SD cards from some manufacturers may not record or play back properly on the BR-800.
■
Formatting an SD card
If you’re using a commercially available SD card, you’ll need to format it before use.
Format the card as described in “Initializing an SD Card
■
Removing the card cover
When the BR-800 is shipped from the factory, the card cover is fastened to the unit using a screw to discourage theft of the SD card.
Here’s how to remove the card cover.
1
Turn the BR-800 upside down.
2
Use a Phillips (+) screwdriver to remove the screw from the card cover on the bottom panel.
fig.CardSlot01.eps
■
Recording time
The following table shows the length of recording that is possible on a single card.
Recording time
SD card capacity
Normal recording
(calculated as 1 track)
Song Sketch mode
1GB approx. 520 minutes approx. 90 minutes
2GB approx. 17 hours approx. 3 hours
4GB approx. 34 hours
8GB approx. 68 hours approx. 6 hours approx. 12 hours
16GB approx. 136 hours
32GB approx. 272 hours approx. 24 hours approx. 48 hours 3
Pull out the card cover in the direction shown by the arrow in the illustration below.
fig.CardSlot02.eps
• The above recording times are approximate. They may be slightly shorter depending on the number of songs created.
• For normal recording, the listed recording times assume the use of only one track. For example, if you’re using all eight tracks to record, the available recording time for each track will be 1/
8th of the time listed above.
• The sampling rate is 44.1 kHz. You cannot change the sampling rate.

To prevent the removed screw from being lost, use a
Phillips (+) screwdriver to attach it in the location shown in the illustration below.
fig.CardSlot03.eps
■
Removing an SD card
Gently press the SD card inward, and then release your finger.
The SD card will pop out slightly, allowing you to remove it.
• Carefully insert the SD card all the way in—until it is firmly in place.
• Do not touch the contacts of the SD card or allow them to get dirty.
• Never insert or remove an SD card while this unit’s power is on. Doing so may corrupt the unit’s data or the data on the SD card.
• When turning the unit upside-down, get a bunch of newspapers or magazines, and place them under the four corners or at both ends to prevent damage to the buttons and controls. Also, you should try to orient the unit so no buttons or controls get damaged.
• When turning the unit upside-down, handle with care to avoid dropping it, or allowing it to fall or tip over.
• Keep any screws or card cover you may remove and the included SD card in a safe place out of children’s reach, so there is no chance of them being swallowed accidentally.
■
Inserting an SD card
Insert the SD card so that its contacts are facing upward.
fig.InsCard.eps
■
The SD card write protect feature
(LOCK)
The contents of the SD card can be protected by write protecting it. To write protect a card, slide the write protect switch on the side of the SD card to the “LOCK” position.
Unlock write protect to delete data on the SD card.

Troubleshooting
This section contains tips to help you solve problems.
If this information does not help you solve the problem, please contact a customer service location listed at the end of this manual.
Problems with the Power Supply
Item
Power won’t turn on
Explanation
Is the BR-800’s power switch set correctly?
Make sure that the BR-800’s power switch is set to “USB” if you’re using USB bus power, or to “ON” if you’re using the AC adaptor or batteries.
Is sufficient power being supplied to your computer or USB hub?
The connection cannot be established if insufficient power is being supplied to the
BR-800. Make sure that none of the following cases apply.
• If you’re using a notebook computer that’s running on its battery, operation may be unstable in the case of some computers. In this case, connect an AC adaptor to your computer.
• The power management settings of your computer may be limiting the power that is supplied to USB. Check the settings on your computer.
• In some cases, the BR-800 cannot be used with bus-powered hubs (USB hubs that do not contain a power supply). Please use a self-powered hub (a hub that contains a power supply).

Problems with the Sound
Item
No sound
Can’t play back a
WAV file
Insufficient volume from a device connected to the
GUITAR/BASS jack or LINE IN jack
No sound from a specific track
Can’t hear the input source
Explanation
Is power to the BR-800 and any connected equipment turned on?
Could the PHONES LEVEL be set to 0?
Are the audio cables connected correctly?
Could an audio cable be broken?
Could the volume be turned down on the connected amp or mixer?
Could the [MASTER] fader be lowered?
Is an SD card inserted?
Could an SD card not supported by the BR-800 be inserted?
Could you be attempting to play back a phrase that is shorter than 1.0 seconds?
Phrases shorter than 1.0 seconds cannot be played back.
Could DIR MONITOR be turned “OFF”?
Could you be attempting to play back a WAV file in an unsupported format?
Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor?
Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.
Is the volume of your external device adjusted correctly?
Could the track’s volume level be lowered?
Could the wrong V-track be selected?
Could the track be muted?
Is INPUT SELECT set correctly?
Did you adjust the INPUT SENS knob?
Could the [REC LEVEL] knob be minimized?

Troubleshooting
Item
Can’t record
You want to turn off the reverb
Recorded sound contains noise or distortion
Oscillation occurs
Explanation
Could the song be protected?
Is an SD card inserted?
Could the SD card have insufficient free space?
Could the SD card be locked?
Could you be using the Phrase Trainer?
Could scrub playback be in use?
Could control surface mode be in use?
You can’t record on the BR-800 in control surface mode.
Check the reverb send level amounts for the loop effect.
The BR-800 provides reverb as a loop effect.
Reverb is applied by default. If you want to turn off the reverb effect, set each track’s send level amount to “0.”
Is the input sensitivity appropriate?
The recorded sound will be distorted if the input sensitivity is too high, and noise will be excessive if the input sensitivity is too low. Adjust the input sensitivity so that the
PEAK indicator briefly lights when the loudest passages occur.
Are the track output levels appropriate?
If there is noise or distortion following mastering, the track output levels are too high.
Could a microphone with high output impedance be connected directly to the BR-800?
Since the INPUT 1–4 jacks are designed for a low input impedance, the recording level may be too low depending on the characteristics of the microphone. In this case, pass the signal through a commercially available microphone preamp before recording it.
Could INPUT SELECT be set to “USB”?
If INPUT SELECT is set to “USB,” the settings of your software may cause the audio signal to be looped. In this case, you can solve the problem by taking one of the following actions.
• Stop playback in your software, or turn off the Soft Thru function.
• Turn off the audio input of your software.
• Change INPUT SELECT to a setting other than “USB.”

Problems with the SD Card
Item
Data on the SD card was damaged
Explanation
Data on the SD card can be damaged due to the following reasons. Please format the SD card.
• Could you have turned off the power while the recorder was operating?
• Could the SD card have been subjected to strong physical shock?
• Could you have turned off the power while the SD card was being accessed?
• Could you be using an SD card that was formatted by a computer or digital camera?

Problems with USB
Item
Idling screen does not appear
Can’t hear sound being input via
USB
Explanation
Is the USB cable connected correctly?
Does your computer’s operating system support the BR-800?
Could INPUT MIX be “OFF”?
Control surface mode does not work correctly
Could you have started your DAW software before setting the BR-800 to control surface mode?
Have you made the correct settings in your DAW software?
In order to use the BR-800 as a control surface with your DAW software, the control surface setting of your DAW software must be set to “Mackie control.” For details, refer to the owner’s manual of the DAW software you’re using.

Problems with the Buttons
The BR-800 uses touch sensors. The buttons will respond when you touch them directly with your finger.
Item
Button response is poor/unresponsive
Explanation
Could you be operating the buttons while wearing gloves?
Could you be operating the buttons with an object other than your finger, such as a pen?
Could there be droplets of water on the BR-800?
Turn off the power, wipe off the water droplets, and turn the power on again.
Could an object be resting on the BR-800?
Turn off the power, take the object off the BR-800, and turn the power on again.
During the time from when you turn on the power until the name of a song appears, do not touch the top panel and do not allow any objects to come into contact with it.
Could you be pressing two or more buttons simultaneously?
The BR-800 can detect that two buttons are pressed only when activating the Scrub operation (hold down the [STOP] button and press the [PLAY] button).
Simultaneous button operation will not work correctly in other situations.
Touch only the button you want to operate—keep fingers and other objects away from all the other buttons.
When you need to press a number of buttons in succession, make sure to remove your finger from the top panel after each press of a button.
Is a fluorescent light nearby?
Move the BR-800 away from fluorescent lights.

Error Message List
Message
Drive busy!
Event full!
No card!
No file!
No song!
Not available!
Power down!
Protected!
Cause
Data could not be read or written fast enough because the data is stored on the SD card in a fragmentary manner.
Alternatively, you are using an SD card that is not fast enough.
This problem is more likely to occur if you join together phrases (recorded data) of only a few seconds in length, such as when using punchin/out recording.
The maximum number of events that the BR-800 can handle in one song has been exceeded.
Action
Reduce the number of tracks being played simultaneously. Use the Mastering function to combine tracks, and erase the tracks that you don’t need to play back. Then, carry out playback again.
Reduce the number of tracks being recorded simultaneously.
Erase unneeded tracks.
Page
What is an event?
An “event” is the smallest unit used by the BR-800 to manage the data recorded on an SD card.
Approximately 30,000 events are allocated for each newly created song.
For each track, each recording operation will consume two events. Operations such as punch-in/out and track copy will also consume events.
The number of events consumed will change in a complex way depending on the conditions.
For example, even if there actually is free space remaining on the SD card, no further recording or track editing will be possible if all of the events have been used up. If this occurs, the error message
“Event Full!” will appear.
You performed a recorder or SD card operation when no SD card was inserted, or the card was incompletely inserted.
Turn off the power, firmly reinsert the SD card, and then turn the power on again.
You removed the SD card after selecting data on the SD card.
When importing WAV data, the file to be imported did not exist.
Prepare the file that is to be imported.
The SD card does not contain songs.
Create a new song.
The song folder contains incorrect data, or does not contain the necessary data.
Restore the backed-up data from your computer back to the BR-800.
–
* Restore the entire “ROLAND” folder to the BR-800.
If you were in Song Sketch mode:
Press the [SONG SKETCH] button to exit Song
Sketch mode, and then perform the operation.
