Just want to say how happy I am to see you taking time to consider how the device might be used by someone with colour blindness, I’m 100% colour blind (among other visual impairments) and have experienced so many issues due to negligence by manufacturers. I have no interest in the RC500 but thanks for that.

With this, if you have say, the Mic input assigned to output A and Inst in B assigned to output B, can you seamlessly decide whether to loop either or both of them on a particular track, whilst they always remain assigned to the correct outputs? So perhaps in some patches you'd have track A be for vox and B for guitar, but in others have two separate vox and guitar loops, which always stay routed correctly? I've really struggled in the past to find a looper that can actually reliably do that, and this seems like it should, so wanted to double check.

@AllenDavisWV 3 жыл бұрын

My issue with this pedal is the naming convention. The number “500” in the name is confusing, as it would suggest a loop pedal that is on par with the RC-300 and the RC-505. Approaching it as an upgrade from the RC-20xl and RC-30, it is definitely better in every way, but the naming of the pedal invites comparison to the larger loopers, and in that department, it lacks many of the stellar features that are in the 300 and 505. I get that they’re trying to standardize with the 500 effects series. I was just expecting a lot more from their new looper, as the 300 (no useful MIDI in sync or control) and the 505 (construction) are in need of a more modern iteration. By the way, I am the creator and moderator of r/loopartists over at Reddit, if anyone would like to join our community! Thanks for the awesome reviews as always!

@MatONeill 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Allen - I couldn't agree more with your thoughts here. I was just saying to my partner how it seems that the RC300 must have been a fluke at Roland, since they appear to have no intention of updating it - lol. Thanks for the great sub over at Reddit, by the way: We've had some warp responses to our looper covers there. On the subject of Midi sync for the RC300, it's incredibly limited, but after a few months of trial and error, we've ended up at a working method that allows us to use two synced RC300s for our live shows. I wouldn't dream of dropping links all over your house, but you might get a kick out of some of our recent uploads.

@@scotth4224 well i haven't watched this whole video, but from what I've seen so far, the 500 seems to have everything the 505 does. On the 500, It looks like you have more control over the internal drum tracks, but i use drum machines for more control anyway, so pretty useless for me. I also don't know if you can output tracks to specific outputs on the 505, but other than that, it just looks like a nicer screen on the 500. The RC-505 has 5 tracks, a lot more input effects including delays/reverb, filter, phaser, chorus, etc, and more output/master effects. I used to have the RC-30 and I'd have to take effects pedals with me. Now pedals are optional. The RC-505 also has smoother workflow. As i said in another comment, the only way I'm seeing Roland/Boss topping the 505 is making a fullblown multitrack recorder that doubles as a looper. Either with separate outputs per track or separate outputs via USB *Edit, i finished the video. I'm definitely still Team 505 lol

I bought one also and got stuck at just playing with the looper for the last few months. Initially, the first few commands are easy to master but you really need to get into the parameters to program it for example with a Boss Gt-1 and an AB dual function boss pedal. One of the great features is that you can branch it into two amps so you can play bass and drum into one amp and the guitar/keyboard in another. My only regret so far is the lack of information on how to program the unit but that is because I am too lazy to print the parameter guide that you easily find on the net and follow its instructions!!!

@Ted655687653 3 жыл бұрын

Hey, really nice demo/tutorial. Does the unit allow you to choose a midi channel for recording midi note on and off messages? For example, midi channel 1 for Track 1 and midi channel 2 for Track 2 and NO audio recording.

The pattern variations A and B don’t seem to switch no matter whether I assign to measure or end of loop. Maybe I’m misunderstanding how these work but assumed that I could get it to alternate between the two patterns. Also I’d like to be able to save composite loops back to my Mac. When I connect I can see the Memory folders, each with two subfolders for track 1 and track 2. These are separate WAV files with no rhythm content. Is there a way to export each loop as one complete file? No luck finding a useful online community yet.

I have this. It is a great looper. One thing many people miss is that they separated the rhythm on/off for some odd reason. It is not under Rhythm where it should be. It is under INPUT (all the way to the right.) When hit on/off on the machine it is only temporary. I suppose this is so you can see how it sounds and gauge your tempo. It was maddening to keep hitting off about 100 time and it kept coming back when I started a new loop! To turn it OFF for the track(s) head over to Input. It's easy to access up from there. The sound quality is amazing. I recommend some decent studio monitors. They let you hear the drums and especially the cymbals crystal clear. I have an inexpensive but excellent pair of JBL 305P MKII's. I play my guitar through them and run the rhythm tracks. For extra base I through my small amp in the mix. Nothing beats a Fishman Mini for tone.

@UTAH100 11 ай бұрын

@@theleastsignificantbit4794 Sure. You can also simply lower the rhythm volume to "0." You can have it count in also and have drums come out of just one monitor if that is what you prefer (I do.) Drums sounds better due to the tweeter via monitors than they do through a guitar amp. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I am not a pro but I will try my best to answer. ROUTING If you are using a modeler, you need to go into the modeler first out to looper last otherwise when you change tones for your overdubs, the original tone will change which is no good. To use HEADPHONES with this thing, I use a guitar interface unit. It does not have a headphones OUT jack which is unfortunate.

Hi Dan. If you look back at Loopop's older videos you will find that he has already reviewed the Aeros looper. It was a while ago, and I think they have updated the firmware of the Aeros, so it may be a little out of date....but it's of Loopop's usual, highest quality :) I'd like to ask - after seeing this RC-500 video, what ways do you prefer your Aeros looper? I'm considering a new looper.....either the Aeros, RC-500 or RC-505... I'd be using it for synths, drum machine, guitar, bass, vox, etc.. (coming from an AUX Out of my mixer). I'd want it to work well as either MIDI master or slave. If you (or anyone else) have thoughts, I'd love to hear them!!

Great demo. I always have issue with stopping the loop at exactly the right time. If your using the rhythm/drums with say your rhythm guitar and u stop your loop and don't hit the button at the exact right time, will the Boss figure out the end of the measure and create the loop properly ?? With all the AI these days you would think it could do that without issue. Also i notice u holding the footswitches down for awhile. What does that do ? Thanx in advance.

I am curious if anyone has done an assessment of the built-in drum rhythm tracks on the RC-10R vs. this new RC-500. This new RC-500 looks to have some improvements over the RC-10R in some of the non-drum track features but the large number of drum tracks on the RC-10R is still attractive to me. Additionally, I want to use the box as a backing track playback system as well. Any thoughts on the RC-10R vs. RC-500 on that front?

I'm in the exact same boat as you. Really want to hear more about the rhythm track comparison on the two units.

Very slick demo, thank you. Could you tell me please if the RC-500 can be put into overdub via MIDI? I have been wrestling with the RC-5, but it can't do it. At time 14:31, you are assigning a function to CC#20, and briefly I see "TARGET T1 REC/PLY" on the display. Would this do it? (The RC-5 doesn't have this option for CC control). I've still got time to exchange the RC-5 for an RC-500. Thank you.

Thanks for the great video. How can I get the Mic Input Level to 0? When I turn the Mic Level knob to the left there's still a signal from the Mic. How can I get it totally mute? Thanks for your help.

How would you use the RC500 to control both a slicer pedal and volca drum machine clocks via midi? Is there a splitter that can go to both machines?

Could you please give me specific instructions on how to setup a Roland EV-5 expression pedal to change Rhythm volume level? Much appreciated as well your video. Thanks. Fred
