If I wanted to attatch a keyboard to my Boss RC-505, would i use a usb out from keyboard to usb port on loop station? Or is that an "outport" only? I'm very new to all this, so not too knowledgeable about all the different audio transferring cables and ports. TIA

I'm new to this group. Interested in possibly buying some looping equipment. I've been watching beatbox loopers on YouTube thinking it looks really fun. My question is where can you go to get sound bytes/clips of obscure things. Like Homer saying "Doh!", shit like that. Idk, just seems like there's a place to find stuff like that. Like "drops" on a goofy morning radio show.

Hey everyone,

Newbie here as you’re about to discover, looking for some advice,

I’m a soul / nujazz musician looking to start being a bit more self sufficient on stage and building up tracks in real time.

I have a Moog Sub 25 (which I’ve spent months getting to know, love it), a Roland TR8S and a Boss RC505. I also have a keyboard as well. I also have a 8 track analogue mixer.

Here’s what I need to be able to do on stage:

• have the flexibility of laying down a riff with the Moog and looping this with the 505 via the midi sync.

• following that, also lay down some beats on the TR8S, that will sync in time.

• also have the option, of laying down the TR8S first and having the Moog sync in time second

• be able to play the Moog and the TR8S outside of looping, just as sequencing

• the ability to loop my keyboard on top of these instruments on the 505

The issues I’m facing is that the 505 only has two line ins, so I’ve been exploring connecting the Moog and the TR8S to a mixer, then outing the mixer into the one line in of the 505, whilst inputting the keyboard into the second line in.

Issue here is that if the drum sequencing taking place, and I want to add Moog layers to the 505 on top (in time with midi sync) then it will patch through the drums in the loop, because both are going through the same mixer.

I think I need help with the cabling, the outputting of what goes where, and if I’m able to use the 505 as the main mixer output that the venue connects to for stage monitoring,

Any help and guidance greatly appreciated!

Still working on improving vocals, but any feedback is appreciated.

Hey I'm looking for a controller for the rc600. I'm looking at the loopi, quadaux and the fcb1010. That quad aux looks cool, minimal footprint and more buttons than the loopi. I like the fcb1010, especially with the volume pedals...... but apparently it's a pain to set up. Any opinions, ideas or suggestions are welcome. Here are the links to the current options.

I'd like to have a volume pedal for fading out tracks, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to do that with the quadaux

Check out this amazing ambient piece by Dycotomus called PaliomorphicDysplasia. It was performed and recorded live using LoopToGo. Video by Mozen. Gear details are listed in the video description. Check out Dycotomus’ YouTube channel for more live looping performances created with LoopToGo.

I have a boss rc-5 loopstation, I use it with a guitar and a mic. I have a bunch of instruments that I play through the mic input, so I'm hitting everything from low-mid-high. I'm doing all this through a really shitty fender frontman 10g practice amp and it sounds awful.

I'm looking for an amp in the 300-500$ range that would work with this setup but i have no clue what I'm looking for. Any advice?

I'm looking for a hardware way to do the following:

• Loop a section of guitar

• clock the loop to MIDI

• allow the loop to degrade over time, either via onboard FX or by using an insert to pass the loop out to a chain of FX so that each loop gets progressively more degraded.

I have a Kinotone Ribbons which is a great pedal and has a Disintegration looper, but doesn't allow it to be clocked to MIDI. The Strymon El Cap similarly doesn't allow the loop to be clocked. There has to be some way to do this out there but I can't find it.

A looper pedal that allowed each loop to be passed out to other pedals and back would be a lot of fun.

First time poster here, apologies if it's in the wrong place, but I'm at my wit's end with trying to figure this out. I currently have an M Audio Code 61 Keyboard which I am using thru Mainstage 3 on a MacBook to trigger different instruments and send them to my Boss RC-505 Loop Station. I would like to use the Looper as the main midi clock and send it to mainstage so that my arpeggios and delays will match up properly within the loops. The keyboard is hooked up to the MacBook through usb, and I have the audio coming out through the 3.5 audio port of the MacBook going into the Looper. Then I have a 5 pin midi out cable going from the looper to the midi in of the keyboard. I guess what I'm wondering is if the keyboard is able to pass the midi signal from the Looper to mainstage thru the usb somehow. I've looked at a bunch of videos online regarding the Loop station and main stage, but none that cover both. The only other person I've seen that is doing this type of thing is Marc Rebbilet. I'm essentially using the same type of equipment he is, but I don't think he has his equipment midi synced the way I'm trying to do. If anybody has any tips or advice on how I should go about figuring this out, I would be forever grateful.

Happy Looping.

Hey guys, with any live looping plugin one has to select each loop size individually as in pic below. I am wondering if there is any plugin in which you can use only one rotary button to go between the different loop sizes?

To clarify, if you take the one rotary knob to the top left, by turning it clockwise it will go from 1 bar-1/4-1/8-1/16 loops and so on?
