Boss RC-50 Loop Station: YYZ=Subjectively Cool
July 17, 2008
Last time on Gearwire: Owen O'Malley demos a phase on the Boss RC-50 Loop Station which featured a different instrument assigned to each footswitch. This time, he shows how to use the footswitches a little differently, recording entire passages on each of the three pedals to switch from verse to chorus to verse to chorus to bridge.
In summation, the versatility of the RC-50 allows any musician willing to put the time into really exploring its features and functions to do far more than is imaginable playing solo on stage.

Hey guys,
Thanks a million for doing such a great job showing off the RC-50, I really learned a lot. However, I'd like to make a quick suggestion: I've read a lot of reviews about this looping station and it seems that the only real gripe that almost everyone has is that it does not sync successfully with external MIDI devices (i.e. problems with slowing, speeding up, and distortion). This is supposed to be a working feature of the station, but it seems like Boss REALLY dropped the ball. It would be cool if you guys could do a Part VI exploring the MIDI sync capabilities, and find out what it can and can't do. This would be extremely useful for musicians such as myself who are looking into buying a loop station (and don't have the pocketbook to buy any old looper), but if your main goal is to make a "promotional" video perhaps its a shortcoming that should best be avoided. Just some food for thought!
Thanks,
Cameron
