Boss RC50 Loop Station

RC50 Loop Station description:

Introducing the Roland RC50 Phrase Recorder. The most feature-laden Loop Station BOSS has ever built.

The Roland RC50 is one of the best live looping tools ever built. Housed in a spacious seven-foot switch floor unit, the RC-50 lets you manipulate three stereo phrase tracks simultaneously, with each track supporting multiple overdubs. In other words, you can record phrase upon phrase, one by one, on each track, resulting in a monstrous stack. The RC-50 also provides a total of 379 play-along Rhythm Guide Patterns in a wide variety of time signatures, can be connected and synced to a MIDI network and has an impressive I/O set. The RC-50 has plenty of other noteworthy features on offer, for example: Phrases can be played forward or backward. Phrases can be retriggered in free time or on a time-aligned grid. Errors can be corrected on the fly with the Undo/Redo switch.

The main features of the Roland RC50 include:

• Highly respected looping tool for live performance
• 7 foot switches for intuitive control; realtime control of playback speed
• Play up to 3 stereo phrase tracks simultaneously, all synced to an internal or MIDI clock
• Ultra-long recording time (up to 49 min., mono), 99 patches (3 master loops per patch)

• Stereo input, dual stereo output, XLR phantom-powered mic input, stereo mini-jack Aux input (for recording from an MP3 players, etc.)
