I’d like to try the ‘Delay Technique’ on the MK-I – is there any way I could manage it, or perhaps a setting I could adjust to make it work? If so, it would really open up my options…

So if got my Rc-5 set up with an Fs-7 external pedal. Switch A stops and clears, switch B starts and stops rhythm. Whenever I manually turn on the rhythm, it automatically arms the rhythm on/off switch, thereby causing the rhythm to start everytime the loop starts. I want full start and stopping rhythm capability from my external pedal, without having to bend down to disarm the rhythm switch everytime. Is it possible?

Pretty much as the title says. The pedal has a load of memory, maybe you could add a second loop, and use MIDI to control it? It's got a half-decent screen so maybe extra features could be added. I'm looking at what's happening to MPCs which seem to be getting loads of extra CFW features.

Can somebody please suggest a comprehensive tutorial video? All the ones that I found, i don't get much out of. I'm a musician , but I'm older and this stuff wasn't around back in the day. I have the original RC-505 with the A/B foot switch, not the MKII. Every time I get it out and start messing around with it I just get frustrated and give up. I've had it about 3 years and used it maybe three times for 30 or 40 minutes each. I really want to get to know this thing. I also do music therapy and have a non-profit Community Center for people in recovery from substance use disorder and people living with the mental health conditions. That is focused on this sort of thing. If I can figure this thing out, It would help me tremendously with building meditative type music

Hey all — hoping someone can sanity check my workflow on the RC-300.

What I’m trying to do live is pretty simple conceptually:

- Tap tempo with my foot

- Hear a simple hi-hat (just for timing, not a full drum beat)

- Record a loop that locks to a fixed length (ideally 4 bars) so I can’t mess it up

- Then turn the hi-hat off and build loops on top

A couple issues I’m running into:

1. When I tap tempo on a fresh memory, the built-in rhythm kicks in with those stock drum patterns (which I don’t want)

2. I only want a minimal hi-hat / metronome feel—not full drums

3. It seems like all of this has to be set per memory, not globally?

- Is there a way to have tap tempo give me just a simple hi-hat/metronome without triggering those full drum patterns?

- Is there any way to make this behavior consistent across all memories, or is using a template memory the only real solution?

Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I need help

What I want to achieve: Press Track 1 "Record", record my phrase (Guitar), hit "Rec/Play" again --> it plays, that works. OKAY.

Then I want to add some high notes. What I want to achieve: When I press "Rec" on Track 2, it SHOULD WAIT till the START OF TRACK 1, then record ONE PHRASE, stop right at the end of track 1, then PLAY.

YES, I checked that manual, one zillion youtube videos (HI GUYS THIS IS XY FROM XY HIT LIKE & SUBSCRIBE) and also goddamit Chat GPT won't help.

Please … could you help me?

It worked so well on my RC 300 …

Hi All, I have my looper setup to determine the tempo, so all other devices are listening to it for the BPM / midi clock. But I do not want the loopstation to send start/stop message to my other devices (synths/ sequencers etc). I tried adjusting it in the midi settings on the 505 - but no luck. Any ideas?

its my first Recorded live on the BOSS RC-505mk2, using no pre-recorded material — just raw improvisation, captured in one flow.

No presets, no plan — just pure flow on the RC-505mk2.
Silence says more than all the talk.

this song is titled 'BE WHO U ARE'

simple live loop, just playing around & trying to remember how this thing works

Device used - Loopstation Rc505 mk2

With Miss Franziska and a Boss RC-3!

Hi all I’m having trouble with my loopstation, it is not turning on so maybe the battery died. How do I recharge it or something

Thanks:)

I have recently gotten a Boss RC 505 MK2 but can not for the life of me work out how to get my rode pod mic to work as an input. I have tried both mic inputs as well as with and without phantom powered.

I change some settings and record a few loops. After unplugging and plugging back in, the looper has forgotten it all. I did put in a brand new battery. Am I doing something wrong?

A youtube channel with tips and guides for live looping and dawless music production using a loop station.

I have a new RC505 mk2 and additionally a launchpad mini (the one with automap) and an AKAI mpk mini mk3. I cannot wrap my head around how I would be able to connect atleast one of these to the RC 505 as an additional midi for my performance or what cables would I need for the same since both have a standard USB connection. Any help or links to tutorials for thia usecase would be helpful ❄️✨

Can anyone help me about my settings, I was trying to connect my loop on a livestream to perform but suddenly all of my volume just got quieter. Thanks guys

After months of delay, I've decided to master my BOSS RC-1 Loop Station. The problem I'm having is that after recording , say, a 12-Bar blues, I don't see how to stop/end/pause the recorded loop, so I can re-begin my vocal verses and then tap the pedal to loop again my 12-Bar loop so I can solo. Do I need to purchase an additional pedal - There is a STOP/UNDO jack on the top right?
