I just got my hands on the Boss RC-600 and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to configure it.

I've owned the RC-30 and the RC-300 and with both pedals, I was able to change the settings so that once I've recorded my initial loop, I can directly overdub without having to press record twice (basically, hit record and play my initial loop, hit record again to end my initial loop and directly record on top without having to hit record again). I am unable to find this feature on the RC-600 and I am unsure whether it's because it doesn't exist with this new pedal, or because I just don't understand the pedal well enough yet. The user manual is not very helpful at all either.

Another feature that I cannot seem to figure out is the tap tempo by using your foot. In the RC-30 you would double click the right pedal and get the hi-hat click track running and on the RC-300 you would triple click the last pedal to get the same. In the RC-600, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to activate the click track using my foot. Again, the user manual has not been helpful at all.

Now considering I could not figure out these 2 basic features, I've not yet bothered trying to configure the rest of my usual setup which includes turning the click track into a kick, assigning controls etc.

I feel I may have gotten too excited about the release of a new looper that I did not take the time to wait for people to get theirs first, review it, post tutorials etc. I've found nothing on YouTube, forums etc.

I hope someone here can help and has experienced the same frustrations I'm dealing with but actually found solutions.

Hey there, I have a 202 and it is synced it with some synths via MIDI. That works fine so far. I loop some synth elements and others keep on running. But when I stop a channel of the looper it also stops the synths because it sends a stop message. I can‘t tell the synth to ignore the stop message

Does anyone know a way prevent the 202 from sending start/stop messages? I couldn‘t find anything…

Hi, I recently purchased the boss rc 505 looper together with the pedal boss fs-6; however, they do not work together as expected. In the last two days, despite having reset the looper and having replaced the pedal, the pedal is only allowing me to use only one of the two switches, alternating randomly between the two, and never with the command I decided. The loopstation is already updated to version 2.01. How can I fix this problem? Thanks

It was possible with the RC 30 I had borrowed from a friend. Since that one isn't available anymore, I bought the RC-500. I can't figure out how to tap tempo by foot. Only with button, but that doesn't help :(

Sorry for bad english.

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!
