BOSS RC-505 MK2 First impressions | I cannot play my songs on it. Moving back to MK1 until updates.

Күн бұрынGuys. Life is not about GBB and doing rounds for battles. I need to play my current songs for shows, but with the MK2 it simply is not possible since it is not ready for sale yet. Oh wait... This is still a prototype and BOSS is releasing an unfinished product on the market. This is what happens when you rush things in order to increase your Christmas sales.

Would you kindly share with us what you and others are thinking about the lack of a mic volume knob? The first moment I saw the MKII I found it kinda strange tho having far far faaaar less experience than you all I thought I might just be stoopid XDD Now after hearing BreZ telling us how he is using the MKI especially in a live environment it seems even more strange they omited the mic volume knob : o Many thx in advance!

After watching this video, it almost seems like they missed their audience of loopstation beatboxers and are focusing more on musicians like myself who use instruments/etc... The input knob alone is such an important way to mix live, incredibly weird they decided to take that out. I can control the input of stuff on my instruments or through a DAW but for people who try to just use the loop station alone that's such a freakish oversight. They've also decreased the audio quality of alot of the software vsts their using in the mkii it seems, step rate/phaser/robot all are so bad. All while making them way more difficult and not as user friendly. It's super unfortunate and I'm hoping they update it with the people who made this loopstation as popular as it is in mind...

We told BOSS a lot of these things, that if they wanted to release this product that serious changes needed to be made. Is it an upgrade? yes, but we're talking about a device made back in 2013 compared to 2021, of course it should be better. As for not being able to play your songs, I had the exact same issue for a lot of mine, I wanted to bring my GBB and KBB wildcard for GBB, but I could not make them sound the way they're meant to sound on mkii (RIP TAPE ECHO). With a new device they're gonna update a lot of features and that means they might change effects that we've been accustomed to. My only suggestion unfortunately is to stick to Mk1 for tracks you've made, and Mk2 for new tracks, unless you wanna change how the track sounds.

And that's exactly what I am going to do. I'm just a bit mad that they released the prototype you guys had for KBB. It's full of errors, it freezes, crashes, doesn't work properly. I don't care so much about my songs at the end of the day, my MK1 is there for that. But it's so unethical to sell people a machine that is not ready to be sold.

I will say (after having seen the video), the mk2 was always going to be less user friendly. For example, yes the filter steprate has changed, and you won't be able to get the exact same pattern that was previously possible. However, you're capable of making a completely unique filter pattern that's never been used before (why the trumpet sound in my R4 vs Mirsa is possible). Does it take time? Definitely, and the amount of customization will make it less user friendly. But these complex options are what will allow the Mk2 to compete with second devices. Also you can make extra c o n t e n t by remixing all your previous rounds with the mk2.
@BreZBeatbox 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah, it's what I had planned to do initially, make new songs with the MK2. But for example I just wish that I could at least play my MK1 songs in shows without bringing two loops with me. Also, the steprate is just not a random thing that I put like that on my TFX. I knew exactly what I wanted for Girls Like or Criminal as steprate on the filter, and unfortunately now, I tried for hours, I just couldn't find it.

for the step rate thing, i like that they added advanced settings to it to allow you to better personalize your effects. BUT i do agree with Brez here, in that its not user friendly at all unless youve been doing audio engineering for a while. i think that they (in a future update) should add in a basic step rate option, that you can toggle to override the advanced option. that way the people who loop MK1 can still do their tracks and add on, and by extention new loopers can actually learn wtf theyre doing. but also now that you have that toggle, the people who will nerd out over every little detail (i sort of fall into this category myself) have that option as well to do so.

thanks , i was about to sell my mk 1 & my RC 202 , which is a spare, but really i don't use a lot of the effects that much as I'm a multi instrumentalist & i don't think I'll be doing all kind of fiddling around. I'm a live musician & i use the RC 505 as a backing track, saves having a drum machine & i create my tracks on my Kronos, to save carrying that heavy beast on gigs. So what benefit is the mark 2 for me ? ? I did a one time miudi the 505 & the 202 , I think I'm going to try that again.that gives mr 7 tracks & 2 stereo inputs YEAH YEAH Excuse my long comment , I found this video very valuable, saved me some money too, which i'd lose selling old gear to buy a new one.

Thanks for truly displaying what features aren't working for you. Some people have simply just said "it doesn't work!" but then don't take the time to show what isn't working for them. I heard that the time-syncing aspects are also a little different, and that you always have to have a count-in, which would be more annoying for guitarists and other foot switchers. Though, maybe these people just haven't found the proper setting? Also in regards to your songs that you can't play on the mk2, you may just need to record the affected audio you want from the mk1 as a .wav or something, and then upload it into the mk2 as a user sample loop. I know it isn't the exact same because you lose some of the live element, but maybe you could find another part or effect to use in conjunction with it, so that you have even more going on, or just relax and realize that an audience generally doesn't understand nor care how much "real work" you are putting in in an electronic live set. People pay tons of money every year to see people play tracked music off their laptop.

I would just try to circuit bend it and add a mic input level pot. there might be some space on the area it used to be. Imho a MKII should have all the MKI has, plus new stuff, overhauls, better user friendlyness. NEVER minus old stuff. If you take away stuff, then change the model name or release another "edition" like mini/stage/composer/whatever, but NOT a Mark 2, which stands for the SAME thing, but 2nd, improved and revised batch. A MKII also has to be 100% downwards compatible with a MKI in all cases, so if there is memory exchange on whatever MKI it should sound the same, if transfered to MKII (plus more modifications if wanted).

It is totally manual for pitches like in the MK1 there are note numbers pre pitched but with that step rate it will be impossible to find the note number

For your problem with the roll effect: you have to press the button after you make the sound and you do it according to the timing value you set. So if it's set to 8th notes you'll say "ts" on beat 1 and press the button on the one and. Hope that helps.

I agree that losing the volume control is not great. How about using a mic with a volume control such as a harmonica mic. Some examples are: Blowsmeaway - Ultimate Series Audix - Fireball V Would this work for your songs?

First off let me say this I am very inspired by your talent with the rc 505 mk2 and I am contemplating buying one in a few days your videos I am watching for reference to quality and I was sold until I heard this video and I am still watching rn the part i am at you are spraking on the importance of the microphone input knob I say why aren't you using a pre mixer before the rc 505 mk2 input instead of plugging the xlr directly in as you have it that way you can control and monitor the gain on the input easier on the mk2?

Got my MK2 today and tried to find a solution to the mic gain issue. One thing that worked really well was to do an ASSIGN of the TR FX KNOB to MIC 1 LEVEL. This gives a really fast way to adjust the mic gain but you loose the TR FX KNOB function. A longer term solution is for BOSS to modify the way the knobs work in the mixer. I don't know why they require turning the knob 100 times to reduce the level to zero. A 180 degree sweep of the knob should cover the entire range. For finer resolution you could push the knob in. This would be an easy mod for BOSS to do.

hey, thanks for the vid! may i ask if your rc505 mk2 also constantly freezes ("system error lc 2762, 1320 etc) and can''t handle to be a midi-slave? i'm unsure if my unit is defective, but ATM it is almost impossible to work with. even if I save/write (and execute) loops/projekts, the rc crashes, i need to restat the unit by unpluggin the power supply - then reload the same projekt - but nothing is saved - even if the prject was written more then two or 3 times (this "unit freezes and you need to restart and all saved loops are gone" happens so often - i save actually all the time and i am always unsure if it will be saved after the next crash. yeah and this midi-thing is unbelievable.

Anybody, has there been any updates at all for the first one since it came out? This would be great. It would be great if some of the effects we're improved or had more options to them. Boss should have focused specifically on the effects on this unit, and it seems like they really rushed it. There are a ton of compressors, but only one reverb, chorus, flanger, etc.

tell me which parameter is responsible for displaying the duration of the track. You recorded a track that was two measures long, and the red ring went around the loop in two full turns, not one long one. when I write a track: if its duration is two bars, then the red index goes through only one circle.

I don't have an mkii I'm just throwing theories around and I'm sure you've tried this, but regarding the filter steprate thing: My guess would be on the original it alternates applying and removing the effect at the rate you choose. So my guess for the mkii is choose the step rate, then for each knob alternate 100 then 0
