Introduction to the BR-600
Rev0.10

Versatile digital effects processors

The BR-600 comes with five different types of effects
processors. These systems, including recording effects
(Insert effects), send/return (Loop Effects), tone adjustment
(Track EQ), vocal pitch correction (Pitch Correction), and
mastering effects (Mastering Tool Kit) can be used
independently for each application as needed. This enables
high-quality song production in a single device, with no
need to connect any external effects.
The BR-600 has many built-in simulations and effects,
including amp modeling with COSM for a wide variety of
insert effects. Many effects for vocal, keyboard, and guitar
tracks are also included for a vast array of applications.
The loop effects include spatial effects such as chorus and
reverb, which are vital for proper stereo mixdown.
The Track EQ is a built-in, two-band EQ whose utility is
most fully exhibited in making tone adjustments during
mixdown.
The Pitch Correction feature allows you to freely adjust the
pitch of vocals, assuring that you can obtain reliable, high-
quality performances.
The Mastering Tool Kit allows you add compression to
songs that have been mixed down and provides a variety of
other effects.

Editing functions

With the BR-600, you can copy, move, and erase audio, and
perform many other editing operations that are only
possible with digital recorders. This means operations such
as copying and repeating a multiple-bar phrase, moving a
multiple-bar phrase to another track, and erasing the data of
a track, whole or in part, can be performed with ease.

Non-destructive editing

Being a digital recorder, the BR-600 offers non-destructive
editing. With non-destructive editing, after performing any
editing and recording operations, you can still return your
data to its previous state (undo and redo functions).

“Canceling an Operation (Undo/Redo)” (p. 64)

Quick movement to a point

You can assign a marker to any point in a track that you
wish (locator function). If you assign markers to locations
such as the end of the opening or the beginning of a solo,
you will be able to move instantly to the point where you
wish to begin listening.

“Registering Time (Locator)” (p. 72)

Equipped with chromatic tuner

(C1 to B6 sound range)

Your BR-600 is also equipped with a chromatic tuner so that
you can tune your guitar or bass while it is still connected to
the BR-600.

“Tuning an Instrument (Tuner)” (p. 192)
When you play back a song you have recorded from the CD
player, you can slow down the tempo without changing the
pitch. Also, you can remove the sound you hear at the
center (such as vocals and guitar solo) from the song.

“Practicing Difficult Phrases (Phrase
Trainer)” (p. 195)
Connecting your computer here allows you to exchange
data between the BR-600 and a computer.
What is COSM (Composite Object
Sound Modeling)?
Technology that virtually reconstructs an actually
existing structure or material using a different means is
called “modeling” technology. COSM is proprietary
Roland technology that creates new sounds by
combining various sound modeling technologies.
