Value For Money : Excellent
CHARACTERISTICS on, everything said or almost does, then I suggest you refer to the documentation provided (in French with the right dealers, it is an obligation LGAL). The manual is a little "mess", and it lacks a quick reference guide for each operation (I'm rgler this problem, in Excel format). It only remains for me that the paper publish a Manir or another.

Cot connection is fairly complete, but everything is small (3.5 mm) than the 6.35 standard guitar input. USB is the same in small format, and the cable is not provided.

The machine supports native recording in MP3 and WAV 24bit / 44Khz (these are recurring questions on the forums), can record two channels simultaneously and to have read four of the 32 available Max.
It can export track is track is the complete song via USB.
Storage is done on SD, max 1GB (2GB some work but only 1GB is available apparently).
For sync, simply record a sync track on a virtual track and you're jou.Pas noon unfortunately, but anything is possible if your sequencer knows gnrer track sync.

For the PSU, I recommend the use of PSA is rgule Boss, as some people seem to have had power supplies with gnriques bp (and then for 23 euros it costs ..:-D)

The use of the machine is fairly simple, but some abbrviations or functions are not intuitive trs. The edition of drum tracks is a good example.
The simple functions are often not easy or difficult ACCS mmoriser certainly blame the lack of buttons.
In fact this device would be perfect with a wheel "dial" and a bigger screen and more graphics. Personal I prfr it costs 50 or 60 euros more but with this equipment, because sometimes you lose time because of the ergonomics.
has come with the usual I guess.
The manual is not well trs rdig as I said above should be a quick REFERENCE opration for each current. For example you must know that to finish a song in the editor should insert a rhythm pattern 327. I had it on the forums looking for this info, when it would seem logical that this should be prominently displayed in the manual (p84 is written ... in the depths of a topic)
Micro BR is a good machine, but the interface is not its strong point.

Cot sounds, however, and next to the price, trs respectable. Of course there is no top-level sounds, but for those who have tried to register itself dja a guitar with a microphone in front of an amp, you will agree that it is easier to plug in a micro scratches that BR rgler the position of the microphone and make levels for 1 hour ...

APRS for the purists, nothing prevents you from doing it on the BR, with a mic / line input.
It is regrettable, however, the presence of too rverb brand of guitar in the patches, but is easily corrected.
I confess I had not tried before to take it, and I feared some are discovering that pramps distos rotten or a little cheap.
In fact the sound is as good as a Korg Pandora, just a little less bright maybe, but good trs at least for this price range.

The BR is very quiet, does not color the sound and complies with the timbre of the guitars. I have not tried the microphone Intgr.

The Micro BR is a very good 4-track recorder in its price range it offers plthore of features that make it a companion for IDAL scratch nomadic
We can go on holiday with a scraper, 2 or 3 SD cards 10 euros, its MP3 backtracks on, a mini headphone jack and nothing more, was enough to train without Dranger others.
Cot record, despite a quality of sound very convincing, it is pnalis its ergonomics and size of the screen. agne still a little taken for its spontaneous rflchissant navigate through menus and submenus. it remains an investment of a very good report quality / price, I re-signed free hsiter.
Mr Boss, let us his brother with a MIDI sequencer basic (style from that of MV30), a wheel dial and a screen worthy of the name and you will have laid the ultimate tool of guitarist (but not 400 euros instead .. .)!

Those who seek only the recording feature without the need of a guitarist, will turn may be to the Zoom H4 or H2, which are good competitors in this little wonder.
