Boss Audio Systems BR-900CD Error Messages Disc Not Ready, Drive Busy, Event Full, Finalized Disc

Error Messages

Disc Not Ready!

Cause:	There is no CD-R/RW disc in the drive.
Solution:	Place a CD-R/RW disc in the drive.

Drive Busy!

Cause:	If this message appears after you have been
	using the memory card with the BR-900CD, the
	data on the card has become fragmented,
	causing delays in reading and writing data.
	Or, you could be using memory card with a
	slow processing speed.

*In cases of unfavorable disc access conditions, such as when track editing, punch-in/out recording, etc. is used to connect phrases (musical data) of several seconds.

Solution 1: Reduce the number of tracks that are played

	back simultaneously. Use track bouncing etc. to
	combine tracks, or erase data from tracks which
	you do not need to playback, and then try the
	playback again.
Solution 2: Reduce the number of tracks that are being
	recorded simultaneously.
Solution 3: Reduce the Data Type (STD (LV1) or LONG
	(LV2)), and then try creating the song again.
Cause:	There is a problem with the CD-R/RW disc,
	preventing audio playback.
Solution:	If the disc is dirty, wipe the disc to clean it, then
	try playing the disc again.

Event Full!

Cause:	The BR-900CD has used up all the events that
	can be handled by one song.
Solution:	Perform the Song Optimize operation (p. 78).

What is an event?

The smallest unit of memory used by the BR-900CD to store recorded results on a memory card is the event. A newly created song provides approximately 2,000 events per song. For each track, one recording pass uses two events. Operations such as punch-in/out or track copy also use up events.

The number of events that are used up will fluctuate in a complex way.

Even if there is capacity remaining on the memory card, further recording or track editing will not be possible if all of the events are used up. In such cases, an error message such as “Event Full” will appear.

Finalized Disc!

Cause:	Data has already been written to the CD-R/RW
	disc, and the data has been finalized.
Solution:	Place a CD-R/RW disc that has not been
	finalized in the drive.

Turn Off Pitch Correction!

Cause:	You cannot use the loop effects or phrase
	trainer while Pitch Correction is on.
Solution:	Press [PITCH CORRECTION] to turn it off, and
	try the operation once again.

Memory Full!

Cause:	The total time of the drum sounds for one
	drum kit that can be loaded with tone load has
	exceeded 13 seconds.
Solution:	Make sure the drum sounds being loaded by
	means of tone load do not exceed a total of 13
	seconds (p. 135, p. 171, p. 181).

Cause: No rhythm pattern memory remaining.

Solution 1: Delete any unneeded rhythm patterns (p. 133).

Solution 2: Delete any unneeded drum sounds in the

	rhythm patterns (p. 129, p. 132).
Cause:	You have attempted to import an SMF that
	exceeds the available memory for imported files.
Solution:	Delete any unneeded rhythm patterns (p. 133).

MIDI Buffer Full!

Cause:	Excessive number of MIDI messages being
	output.
Solution 1:	Either decrease the tempo of the Rhythm or reduce
	the number of Note messages (p. 123, p. 126).
Solution 2:	Set the RhyMIDI ch to “OFF” (p. 157).

No Card!

Cause:	You have tried to operate the recorder, or
	access the memory while the memory card
	(CompactFlash) is not inserted, or is not
	inserted properly.
Cause:	The memory card has been removed after
	selection of data on that memory card.
Solution:	Turn off the BR-900CD, properly insert the
	memory card, then turn the BR-900CD back on.

No File!

Cause:	The file you are trying to import with WAV/
	AIFF/SMF import or Tone Load was not found.
Solution:	Have the file you want to import ready.

No Song!

Cause:	There are no songs on the memory card.
Solution:	Create a new song (p. 32).
Cause:	Incorrect data is in the song folder, or the
	necessary data is not present.
Solution:	Restore the data backed up on the computer to the
	BR-900CD. In this case, restore each “ROLAND”
	folder to the BR-900CD (p. 164, p. 175).
