For those awaiting the arrival of the ultimate looper, the wait is finally over. Housed in a spacious seven-footswitch floor unit, the RC lets you manipulate three stereo phrase tracks simultaneously. Each track supports multiple overdubs, so phrases can be stacked one by one on each track, resulting in a monstrous layer of looped phrases.

Ready to blow your audience away? With a single RC, a guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, or vocalist can create a perfectly synced wall of sound live onstage. There are three simultaneous stereo phrase channels on the RC, each with a dedicated footswitch. The RC speaks sync.

For scenarios such as these, the RC can be locked to an external MIDI clock source, ensuring that its loop performances are absolutely locked to the rest of the show. Internally, the RC offers Loop Quantize for easy loop recording, plus Loop Sync which enables all phrases to start in sync , and Tempo Sync which matches the tempo of multiple phrases during playback.

To make recording as fun and inspiring as possible, the RC provides a total of play-along Rhythm Guide Patterns using real sampled drums in a wide variety of time signatures. The RC has plenty of other noteworthy features on offer, for example: Phrases can be played forward or backward.

This would be like pressing a pedal and then try to press it again without lifting the foot Within MIDI Assistant, I recommend to use a CC-Ramp with Data2-value starting at 64 and ending at 63 with at least 50 ms duration ms are even better - so this uses just one single table entry for each time the switch-action should be triggered.

Probably this is the case also for the RC I don't have one. A dream has come true By default, the checkbox "Use same device for all channels" is checked. Selecting a device for MIDI-channel 1 selects this device also for all other channels. This is useful for most cases - all messages are sent to the same Device, no matter which MIDI channel is used in the message.

Other devices can be connected using a MIDI-splitter-cable. All messages with this MIDI-channel are sent only to the selected device. The selected device must be configured to listen to the MIDI-channel where it is selected. If you want to send-on Clock-messages received from the Input-Device to some other Output-device, you can do this with the "Clock"-checkbox at the bottom.

The MIDI-Start-message from the input-device is sent to all used devices - to devices selected as output-devices, and also to devices which only have the "Clock" checkbox checked.

So, for example, it is possible to sync a drum computer to the Clock of the looper. In the Messages Group, all messages can be edited. The green background shows the most relevant data for editing.

MIDI can only send data from zero to , so don't enter any numbers bigger then In the Ramp group, you can send value-ramps of defined duration, for example to fade out a specific track. Within the duration, Midi-messages are continously sent, starting with the startvalue and ending with the endvalue. All running ramps are shown next to "RunningRamps", until the duration is passed.

For an RC or RC, a 50 ms ramp starting with 64 and ending with 63 can be used to trigger a single switch-action. Below the Ramp-group, there is a list with all files contained in the subfolder "Songs", which is created automatically in the path of the MidiAssistant. When selecting a file, it is loaded automatically - so you can step through all the songs you need for your gig by just using the down-key.
