Boss RC-50 Loop Station: RC-20 x 3 = RC-50, RC-60 = RC-50...

[sagnaoumar]

hi man where can i get the usb cable for the boss RC 50 please

thanks

[subryn]

I'm unable to add loops onto the RC-50 . dont know why. i've change the extension to .WAV and got the numbers right... but it just doesn;t seem to add loops/ wav files through. i'm able to delete stuff.. but unable to add stuff.. can anyone help?? please.

[timjmoran]

gEEEEEZ !! there went 4:19 outa my life that I'll never get back !!! I CANNOT unnastan these demos where the guy spends the whole time blabbing away about the features.. but NEVER DEMO'S the Goddang pedal!! Why oh WHY?? This is a

BIG waste of time. shheeeeeeeeeeeesh...

[joe44850]

@timjmoran Thanks for the heads-up, I'll keep looking for a good demo.

[justinsanesaid12]

so... dl4, akai headrush or the rc-50? like, which one is better?

[64chrisnickey]

hey Owen...where's part 2? what ..did you get stoned and forget?

[SmallFish616]

RC20 or boomerang phrase sampler?

[dzlvs8]

@SmallFish616 The Boomerang III Phrase sampler has four loops and overall, it has more looping features but there are other nice things about the Boss. Rthymns, more inputs and outputs, and it has enough buttons. The boomerang is extremely "cryptic" and difficult to use on the fly. and there is kinda no queing of recording tracks. Kinda sucks but I still like the boomerang more.

[YouVojislav]

Rc is an instrument...just like delay machine!

I love them...they're alive!

[TravisRinker]

so how do you have a distorted guitar and a clean drum beat on the rc 50.

[posiedonpowertrio]

why do the rc-2's never stay on perfect time?

[mamavox]

@posiedonpowertrio

it's not the machine that doesn't stay on time. you gotta have extremely good timing to use it.

[vFluX]

This was like a Tellsell program, but then even more lame.

[ErikvanderHorst1]

Where is part II?!

[jaqueabo]

Do you job and tell us what IS most powerful loop pedal in the world!

[joshingledew]

hmmm, makes my rc-20xl look shit :( however rc-20 is still good, but rc-50 takes the place of best loop pedal around

[LoqBuster]

GT-10 :)

[buttdread]

does it have the delay effect?

[cronkitesatellite]

The only effect (besides looping) is 'reverse.'

It's easy to run another effect processor through the RC50 though.

[MrJackanthony]

@cronkitesatellite How would I hook this up with a gt.10? Can you tell me all conections and settings or show me where I can find the info?

[cronkitesatellite]

Great question. To the best of my knowledge, I would simply go from the 2 1/4 inch outputs on the gt.10 to the 2 1/4 inch inputs on the RC50. Plug your guitar into the gt.10, and control your master volume on the RC50. I'm positive this will work, but if not, hit me back. I'm happy to help.

[MrJackanthony]

Thanks. i havrnt got the rc50 yet hence my question. I need a really good looper and this seems to be ideal. I am off to a guitar store to try it out and I will get back to you. Thanks for your help. Ps just one more question by using an external memory card how long will I be able to loop? take care.

[cronkitesatellite]

Hmmmmmm.... Interesting question. I've never used an external memory card. I know you can import samples to the RC50 using USB, but I'm not sure how that effects the over all sample time. I just plug my drum machine into the RC50 and take samples that way. It chews away at my overall memory though. If I did it in mono, I'd get twice as much sample time.. someday I'll get around to doing that. Sorry I can't fully answer your question. I do think you'll enjoy the RC50. Take care & keep in touch.

[MrJackanthony]

tks I will

[cronkitesatellite]

Boss makes great products

[grumo81]

Nice, but you could have set up your gear to get less noise...

[bergg2009]

I know you can prerecord loops, but imho it seems to difficult to use.

Is this possible to use RC-50 with FCB1010 for example? (how)

So I would be able assign different loops/phrases (prerecorded) to this midicontroller from 1 to 10 and play them like I want.

Not just phrases 1-3 from RC. THanks

[gh3rckl3gend]

i have a boss gt-8, and it has a loop button, but i dont know how to use anything when looping. could anyone help me how to do it or tell me how.

[elmarb69]

@gh3rckl3gend: On the GT-5 "LOOP" means SEND/RETURN and is used to add external FX. Maybe its the same with the GT-8.

[Jupwayup]

yeah like elmar said,its not the same thing, its an external effects loop, for connecting an external effects device to send/return and using it as a part of the gt8's effects... woo

[Rflyon]

They both do completely different things. RC-50 is solely a Loop Station - And it's pretty much the best one out there for what it does.

The ME-70 has a Looping feature in it... but it's nowhere near the RC-50... probably closer to the RC-2, if that lol

[muzzleray]

can you use the expression pedal input for other connected midi devices, ie what seeting i can't figure it out the pedal i want to express is the Adrenalinn II

[joeyedwin]

Thanks for the info! I'm now starting a how-to guitar looping series! Please spread the word:)

[sneakonproductionz]

has anyone noticed that this looper wont catch and you have to play for another second when you lay down your first loop unless of of course ur first loop is silence with just the drums (which I never use) Please message me about this

[cowboystitching]

Most all loopers work that way. You just have to compensate.

[davidbrucemusicvideo]

i've been thinking of getting one. i use an RC20 and a line 6 DL4.

great video! thanks for the help b4 i buy! 5 stars

[alxk78]

Can I use the drum program reason with this pedal?

[LofiFreq]

yea dude! you just need a MIDI I/O to sync the clock and a sound card

audio out the sound card in the looper out the looper into your mixer!

peace

;)

[alxk78]

that's genius, dude everytime I start a recorded dea that evil guide starts, do I manually have to lower it or can I progarm it to not start?

[LofiFreq]

not sure ?

best to read up !

good luck

[narokath]

unfortunately the midi sync sucks. In theory you could use an external midi clock. But when you use it, the tempo's start drifting a part after some minutes.

Using the RC-50 as the master clock works better though

[SEXYBEAST8675309]

how do you record

yourself without a tempo..?

cause i just want to overdub parts..

[drewheasman]

Turn the guide level to 0

[mrnextmusic]

where is part 2 anyway??

[dontbelievethahype]

"Tap tempo, you can change the speed of a phrase after you've recorded it" - Ya, technically you can, but its definitely not musical or useable... Even a change of 1 BPM causes severe warbling of the recorded loop.

MIDI sync to other devices (ie ableton live) is not useable.... And I don't know if it is a common problem, but I have a noise issue (a hum) when using both the main output, and sub output at the same time..

Other than those issues, it's a great pedal, and a wonderful writing tool.

[wildwakachica]

whoa...I was just about to buy this to synch it to a midi interface for my ableton live program. Am I corect that I have read that this won't work?

[MrGSpot3]

No Problem, this'll work. I use the RC in combination with the Electribe and sometimes with ableton as well. Try to use the loopstation as master for MIDI sync.

[hateupponassholes]

pls shut upp, just play and then die.

[benestwice]

J'en ai une depuis 15 jours achetée occasion 250 euros. Il y a 5 rythmes dedans puis il ne reste que 21 minutes de mémoire. Sur le CD il y a ces 5 rythmes (genre arrangeur avec basse batterie guitare saturée...) et des fichiers waves (applaudissements oiseaux, bruitages divers, quelques notes de basses ou percu) ces fichiers ont une durée de 2 à 5 secondes chacun... Il y a des rythmes de batterie (non numérotés donc pour les trouver assez vite il faut savoir où ils se trouvent...

[easeup666]

yeah it's good - bought it in Feb. now (June) gigging solo...I midi it to a drum machine, use octave pedal for bass lines and play guitar on top..the tap tempo isn't great..It doesn't work as a midi "slave" very well but everything else is really good..cheers.

[wellurs]

I just bought one, it has a drum machine built in why don't you use that? Just interested to know

[easeup666]

the drum loops are ok but i can program my own drum patterns with a machine then they get triggered by the rc 50...cheers.

[wellurs]

cool! what do you use for that? Is there anything I can program from my PC and upload to the RC-50, I find the drum loops are ok but without fill ins it's nothing more than a guide line as it says

[easeup666]

Hey,you can record a sample from any music player as a phrase loop (rca jack) NAILdownbeat when it finishes.I'm starting to do that now so I don't need to bring my drum machine(or midi cables) to the gig.

[nihellsbells]

You can upload any wave files from your computer to the rc-50. so if have original music, your own drum loops, bass lines playbacks and so on it's awesome. The best thing that you can send a click to your drummer and no click to your amp/mixer at the same time.

[bunkman64]

How much do they run?

[mephigog]

Whoah. Nice.

[prompen3]

seems like a overkill deluxe for a looper pedal but still cool!

cant wait for part 2!!!
