Overview of the RC-505
How the RC-505 is organized
Phrase Memory 1
Input FX
System Settings
What are tracks 1–5 (p. 12) and phrase memories (p. 15)?
The RC-505 provides five "tracks" that are used to record and play back the sound of an instrument or a microphone.
These five tracks combined form what is called a "phrase memory. " Up to 99 phrase memories can be stored.
"Tracks 1–5, " "Rhythm, " "Input FX, " and "Track FX" settings are saved individually for each phrase memory.
What is a rhythm? (p. 19)
In addition to the five tracks, the RC-505 can also play a "Rhythm. " You can record while listening to a rhythm at the tempo you
specify.
What is the Input FX and Track FX? (p. 20)
You can apply effects to the audio input and to the sound of the tracks, respectively.
These effects are referred to as "Input FX" and "Track FX. "
What are system settings? (p. 22)
Settings that apply to the entire RC-505, such as those for the contrast of the display, the auto off function, the USB, and MIDI
functions, are called "system settings. "
"Recording" versus "Overdub"
In this manual, we refer to the act of recording to an empty track for the first time as "recording." Any subsequent recordings that are made,
which are added on top of the existing recording, we refer to as "overdub."
