You can get a Nano or Touch for around a third of the price and still get Music, Podcasts, Apps, Clip, FM Radio and Camera. Overpriced content consumption table. Very responsive touch screen, high res screen Content Consumption only. Not great value for money. No camera.

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, lets 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.
Returning to the Previous State (UNDO)
Use the CURSOR [ ] [ ] buttons to move the cursor to UNDO/REDO, and press the [ENTER] button. The UNDO/REDO will appear.

D_Undo.eps

After executing Undo, only Redo can be executed. Undo applies to audio data recorded on a track.
To execute Undo, press the [ENTER] button. When you press the [ENTER] button, the most recent recording or editing operation will be cancelled. If you decide not to Undo, press the [EXIT] button.

NOISE SUPPRESSOR

This effect reduces the noise and hum picked up by guitar pickups. Since it suppresses the noise in synchronization with the envelope of the guitar sound (the way in which the guitar sound decays over time), it has very little effect on the guitar sound, and does not harm the natural character of the sound. Parameter/ Range Explanation
OFF, ON Turns the EQUALIZER effect on/off. This sets the frequency at which the low cut filter begins to take effect. When FLAT is selected, the low cut filter will have no effect. Adjusts the low frequency range tone. Specifies the center of the frequency range that will be adjusted by the LO-MID G.

LOW CUT
This filter cuts out vocal pop and other unwanted low-band noise. Parameter/ Range Explanation

FILTER *3

0100 This parameter adjusts the filter. This adjusts the balance of the direct and effect volumes. This filter reduces the amount of digital distortion. When turned off, it allows you to create an intense lo-fi sound that includes digital distortion. This parameter allows you to modify the sampling rate. Modifies the number of data bits. When turned off, the number of data bits will remain unchanged. If an extremely low number of bits is selected, certain input sources may result in loud noises being input, even when there is no input sound. In such a case, raise the noise suppressors threshold. This filter reduces the amount of digital distortion produced by the lo-fi. By turning this off, you can create an extremely lo-fi sound. Adjusts the overall volume of the lo-fi sound. Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.

Overview of the Rhythm Section
The BR-800 provides a dedicated rhythm generator that is separate from the audio tracks 17/8. 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. 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) Broadly speaking, the BR-800s rhythms consist of patterns and arrangements. ROCK1-V1 (verse 1) ROCK1-V2 (verse 2) ROCK1-F1 (fill 1) ROCK1-F2 (fill 2) ROCK1-E (ending)
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

Preset Pattern List (p. 145) 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.
Snare drum Repeat Kick drum Pattern
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.

Song patterns (S001S100)

One hundred patterns can be stored for each song on an SD card.
* You cant edit the preset patterns or rewrite the data.
Preset patterns (P001P327)

Repeat steps 13 to tune each string of your instrument.
If youre 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.
While watching the tuning guide, tune your instrument so that the center indicator is lit.

Technical specifications

Full description

The triple-core sound generator houses an array of virtual guitars basses amps and synthesizer voices enabling a wide variety of tones and textures. The sound engine comprises two PCM synthesizers (with over 900 tones powered by Roland's synthesis technology) and COSM guitar modeling that combined allow you to create unique sounds. The COSM guitar-modeling engine needs zero detection time allowing the GR-55 to respond instantly and exactly as you play. The onboard ready-to-use presets (270 plus 297 user) make it simple to find the perfect sound fast with quick-access category buttons. You can choose from hundreds of great presets for pop rock and more. For customizing sounds the EZ Edit feature and large LCD takes the guesswork out of the process and for those who want to go deep the GR-55 offers huge array of controllable parameters. The GR-55 conveniently bridges the guitarist to the desktop music production world with its two USB ports. The rear-panel port can be used for MIDI/audio data communication while the side-panel port is used for real-time playback of audio files from a USB memory device (sold separately). The GR-55 provides foot control of USB audio playback so your hands never need to leave the guitar.
