Synthesizers
RS-70/-50
Just Play.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roland’s new RS-70 and RS-50 Synthesizers are designed so musicians can forget about MIDI and
focus on playing. Both models sport an all-new collection of CD-quality sounds, cool performance
features and simple Direct Access buttons for selecting Patches—all at an entry-level price. The
flagship RS-70 even includes a Loop Sequencer that takes the mystery out of multi-track recording.
Outstanding New Sounds
Made for Performance
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Make no mistake. The RS-70 and -50 are full of new sounds.
And not just new Patches, but an entirely new set of waveforms
sampled at 44.1kHz. Put simply, these keyboards sound
amazing. From the delicate nuances of the acoustic piano
and Rhodes Patches to the rich tones of the strings and
new synthesizer sounds,
With the new Multi Chord Memory function, musicians can
play a variety of complex chords using a single note. Or trigger
phrases at the touch of a key using the Phrase/Arpeggio
Generator, which on the RS-70, can be fully programmed and
even recorded to the sequencer. The RS-50 also features a
Rhythm Guide metronome with preset rhythm patterns in a
variety of styles.
you’ll immediately hear
the difference. Bundled
editor software makes it
easy to dive in and program
your own sounds.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loaded with Extras
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Both the RS-70 and RS-50 feature Roland's popular D Beam
Controller for controlling functions like pitch or filter cutoff
using an infrared beam of light. The D Beam can also be used
to control Roland's unique Active Expression feature, which
makes it easy to fade in a second sound or change the volume
and timbre. The RS-70 also includes a built-in floppy drive for
directly playing GM/GM-2-compatible Standard MIDI Files—
plus Roland's exclusive V-LINK technology for triggering
video clips*.

Easy Instrument-Based Sequencing
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instead of using complicated concepts like MIDI channels and
tracks, the RS-70’s Loop Sequencer is based on sounds. To create
a sequence, simply choose a sound and record. As the recording
loops, additional sounds can be selected and overdubbed
until all parts are entered. Realtime and step recording are
both supported, along with Microscope editing.
*V-LINK requires the Edirol DV-7PR Digital Video Workstation (sold separately) with software
version 1.50 or higher.

Cube-30 Bass
A Compact Bass Amp with COSM Modeling
and More!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When it comes to compact bass amplifiers, the Roland Cube-30 Bass is in a class all its own. This
powerful and lightweight amp combines a 30-watt/10-inch 2-way speaker with DSP modeling to
crank out a range of popular bass amp sounds. There’s also onboard compression, 3-band EQ and
digital effects—making the Cube-30 Bass an incredible value.
Tight, Punchy Sound
Onboard DSP Effects
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Cube-30 Bass gives bass players loud and punchy bass
tones despite its compact size. Using a 30-watt amp and 10-inch
coaxial speaker system—with powerful low end and an individual
tweeter for clearer highs—this compact amp will knock your
socks off! Onboard compression and 3-band EQ let you shape
the tone any way you want.
With onboard DSP effects, you can plug in your bass without
complicated setups. The Cube-30 Bass includes everything
you need: pro-quality reverb and delay, plus essentials like
chorus and flanger. There’s even a T-Wah effect for adding a
sweeping filtered sound to your tone—great for funk bass.

COSM Bass Amp Modeling

Thanks to Roland’s COSM technology, the Cube-30 Bass can
convincingly model six of your favorite bass amps—like
“Bass360,” “Concert 810,” “Flip Top,” “B Man” and more.
There’s even an “Octave Bass” setting which adds a tone one
octave below the original note for truly earth-shaking sound.
Cube-30 Bass can get the job done. With
a
1/4-inch
Recording/Headphones output, you can connect directly to a
mixing console or to a pair of headphones. A dedicated
Shape switch makes it easy to instantly change your tone.

8-Track Digital Studio
BR-864
8-Track Digital Recording to Go.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The BOSS BR-864 puts 8-track digital recording in the palm of your hand. Never has so much power
been available in such a small package. With features like 64 Virtual Tracks, onboard COSM® effects,
Compact Flash media for recording and a built-in USB port, the BR-864 has everything guitarists
and songwriters need to turn ideas into songs.
Affordable and Portable
Rhythm Guide Redux
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The BR-864 is not only BOSS’ smallest 8-track recorder, but it’s
also our most affordable. With 64 Virtual Tracks, there’s plenty
of room to track multiple overdubs, vocals and instruments.
A 128MB Compact Flash card comes standard, giving you
over an hour’s worth of high-quality recording time.
The Rhythm Guide function has been beefed up considerably
for the BR-864. First, BOSS added full programmability,
meaning you can tap in your own drum patterns in addition
to the dozens of great-sounding presets. A new Tone Load
function lets you add custom drum sounds by importing
.WAV/AIFF files. Best of all, the Rhythm Guide doesn’t use
any of the 64 recording tracks, so you still get eight playback
tracks and drums.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Easy USB File Exchange
and Data Backup
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guitar-Friendly Features
A built-in USB port makes it easy to import and export audio
with USB-equipped computers. Now you can load and convert
.WAV/AIFF files from your Mac or PC directly into a track, or
export your song for CD-burning and MP3 creation. The USB port
also makes for a great way to archive and back up recordings
to your computer’s hard drive.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While anyone can benefit from the BR-864’s portability and
power, guitarists in particular will appreciate having a dedicated
Hi-Z input and onboard tuner. There’s also a Phrase Trainer
function that lets you slow down riffs, making them easier to
learn. And since the BR-864 runs on batteries, you can take
this little 8-track studio anywhere.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A World of High-Quality Effects
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to COSM modeling, guitarists can plug right into the
BR-864 and get killer tone every time. Simply choose from
several COSM Amp Models and you’ll sound huge. There’s even
a Bass Simulator that lets you lay down bass from a guitar—
plus several new effects like wah, guitar synth and a Harmonist
for scale-intelligent pitch shifting.
