Boss BR900CD - The best gets better
With the same reliable and ultra-friendly operation as BOSS's highly popular BR-864, the Boss BR900CD takes three big steps forward by increasing the front-panel fader count from four to eight, and adding a built-in CD-RW drive and pitch correction to the feature set. The Boss BR900CD is compatible with CompactFlash cards up to 1GB capacity, which provides up to 624 minutes of record time (standard mode) in one shot. Even with all of these great new features, the unit's footprint remains small for ease of travel.

Boss BR900CD - Stellar studio effects
Proudly displaying the BOSS logo, the Boss BR900CD offers a lineup of quality effects that are worthy of the legendary name. In addition to the time-tested standards (reverb, EQ, chorus, delay), you'll find additional pro-quality effects, such as vocal pitch-correction, bass simulation, pedal wah, COSM-powered guitar amp and compressor models, and mastering tools.

Boss BR900CD - Rhythm programmer onboard
Songwriters will love the Boss BR900CD's built-in rhythm programmer, packed with 294 expressive patterns. Use these realistic backing tracks as inspiration for both writing and recording. You can even customize your own beats using the handy Tone Load function.

Boss BR900CD - USB spoken
Connect the Boss BR900CD to the outside world with one convenient USB connection. Import and export audio files and song data quickly and easily. Need to add some drum loops or vocal samples to your song? Simply drag and drop your favorite WAV files from USB-equipped computer directly into the Boss BR900CD. Conversely, you can export audio that you've created internally on the BR-900CD to computers.
