Signal Processing

AD Conversion:
24 bit, ∆∑ Modulation + AF-AD (Guitar/Bass)
24 bit, ∆∑ Modulation + AF-AD (Mic 1/2)
24 bit, ∆∑ Modulation (Line)
24 bit, ∆∑ Modulation (Simul)
DA Conversion: 24 bit, ∆∑ Modulation
Internal Processing:
24 bit (digital mixer section)
*AF method (Adaptive Focus method)
Adaptive Focus is a unique Roland/BOSS technology that
allows the signal noise (S/N) ratios of AD and DA converters
to be vastly improved.

Sample Rate

44.1 kHz

Frequency Response

20 Hz to 20 kHz (+1/-3 dBu)

Recording Time (conversion in one track)

* The above-listed recording times are approximate. Times may
be slightly shorter depending on the number of songs that were
created.
*The above number is the total for all the tracks that are used. If
each of the eight tracks contain an equal amount of data, the
length of the resulting song will be approximately 1/8 of the
above.
