realistic drum-pattern generator, vocal-correction and Mastering Tool Kit, digital output, and internal CD

The Best Gets Better
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With the same reliable and ultra-friendly operation as BOSS’s highly
popular BR-864, the BR-900CD 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 BR-900CD 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.

pro-quality effects, such as vocal pitch-correction, intelligent harmony,
bass simulation, pedal wah, COSM
