I just received my BR-8 which I purchased from a guy on craigslist. The Zip Drive was out on it and I bought a Zip 250 drive on eBay and replaced it. Total so...
Hi Adam, Try contacting Boss (Roland US) to see if you can purchase the knob from them. If I can find the demo disk, I'll see about uploading the contents to...
Hi Adam, Jeff, I took a backup of the Demo disk all those years ago and I see I still have it. It's about 64 Mbytes so if you can't find yours, Jeff, I can...
Hi Alan, Please upload the file. You might have to zip it to get it onto the site. Or send separate segments. Jeff ... From: Alan Buck <alan.buck@...>...
Jeff, I tried, failed and then read the help file. 63Mbytes (when zipped) is too big to upload in one file, and the group limit would probably be reached. ...
Hi Jeff, it's a lot of data; two songs, with all the tracks, totalling 63 Mbytes: Finders Keepers and Smokin' Blues. It would be far easier for you to get the...
Hey gang, I just set up links for a few items on the Supplemental Site. Original Demo Disk in zipped format, Wave Converter Manual (PC) and Intro to Recording...
Well, I finally got some disks to use with the BR-8 and now here lies the problem. Whenever I insert a disk it attempts to access it and makes a loud humming...
... times ... Well, It seems that the guy I bought it from sent me the wrong power supply. No big deal though. I went ahead and cut the sheild away from the IC...
It's possible that the drive is bad. Some of our members bought replacement drives cheap on EBay. The IC21 problem usually causes buttons to do incorrect...
I think Jeff may be right. The drive sounds suspicious. What is the voltage output and current rating of your AC/DC converter? As I recall the BR8 requires...
Adam, Â You can buy the correct power supply from the Boss site, RolandUS. The BR-8 requires a powerful power supply, the typical ones you get from Radio...
FYI I installed a used 250MB drive in mine last nite. Seems to have solved my "drive busy" error. Many thanks for all the BR8 info on this group and @...
Actually the power supply isn't that powerful. I looked on the back of the unit and it uses a 9v power supply. The trick is the amperage. It requires a 2 amp...
I beleive I said that the capacity (or amperage) will play a significant roll. However you can't make 12 volts out of 9 volts....unless you have a "buck"...
... The correct power supply for the BR-8 is the PSB-1U. It is also used for the GT-10, VG-99, and several other current and legacy Roland products, so it...
After further investigation.......I stand corrected. Adam is right. 9 Volts @ 2 amps (as stated on the BR8 and PS). I had the wrong information. Not sure...
I NOTICE I CANT FIND ANY TURN AROUND RTHYMS ON THE BR8, IS THAT TRUE, AND WHAT IS THE TEMPO MAP ALL ABOUT, I DONT HAVE A MANUAL FOR THIS. IS THERE ANY TRICKS...
Hello Ed. Go to our group home page. On there you will see a link for the manual that is stored on our Supplemental Site. The tempo map lets you pick what beat...
New user, Do I need to connect the br-8 to the guitar amp to hear what we are recording/playing? Don't want to use headphones...... I see where the guitar...
You can use the line-out and connect it up to your stereo if you want. Or the guitar amp. Probably better sound from the stereo, though. PAJeff ... From:...
Thanks Jeff, much appreciated.. From: PAJeff [mailto:pajeff@...] Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2009 7:45 PM To: BR-8@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: How do I...
Use the stereo outputs at the rear, noted as LINE OUT L R. Just buy a lead with a normal guitar jack at the end or you can buy the connectors to convert a...
Yes I do, but it did not show an amp connection, it shows a stereo unit and the child wants to hear the amp at the same time. We plugged into the amp with the...
