Members threm Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 Posted by Nathan Stueve on the loopersdellight forum "just wanted to follow up with good news for anybody with their eye on the boss rc-50. i've been experimenting with this one for about 2 days now and i'm very happy with the expanded capabilities for perfectly synched, rich, deep loops it allows. it's very user friendly, with everything laid out logically and well labelled on the unit itself, although i did find the manual downloaded from roland.com to be useful for working out some of the finer points. the only technical anomoly i would note is the fact that it seems to interpret tempo data received from external sources a little strangely, although it doens't affect the actual functioning at all. for example, i'm running a 120bpm tempo out of ableton live and according to the rc-50 this is actually a tempo of 119.9.otherwise seems very solid, definately the best i've ever worked with, a very intuitive and musical tool. leaves me feeling extremely excited to explore the future. cheers to boss for pushing the envelope of looping technology!"

Members StompboxMan Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 When I saw this at the NAMM Show I heard 99 loops Max and I thought Roland did it again! Imagine calling up 15 or more loops of a very intricate arrangement. Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TIKILOCKEDOUT Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 Might be time for me to sell my RC20-XL ... but I'll wait to hear of any glitches or production issues for a few months before I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sventvkg Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 Oh Yea, mine will be here here in a few weeks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TIKILOCKEDOUT Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 Ok, just found this image ... looks awesome but that's a {censored} load of pedal board real estate ... Not sure I could justify that much space along with all my other effects for just gigging clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members threm Posted May 21, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 Originally posted by TIKIROCKER Not sure I could justify that much space along with all my other effects for just gigging clubs. I wouldn`t place it on the pedalboard like any other `permanent` pedal but rather keep it in front of or besides the board. That way you can bring it along or leave it at home as circumstances situation changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way you can bring it along or leave it at home as circumstances situation changes. No doubt my intentions would be the same but you know what I mean? I have a pretty big pedal array already and to then add that for clubs would be like a fleet of aircraft carriers around my feet and an absurd amount of tap dancing to keep track of. I would love to make that thing work but I would seriously have to strip down my usual pedal array for gigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ollenorin Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 it would be very cool to have that and store lOooooots of loops and then practice with them and the band to see what music can be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MxOvd Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 Too pricey and complicated for me, but let's hope the price of the Jamman goes down so I can buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoboPimp Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 for that size and price it should have one of their multi effects units built right into it as well and a drum machine would be cool too. Kinda like a GNX4 but with a better looper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
