Creating Phrases

Once you have finished preparing the patches, you can create
phrases.

Recording a New Phrase

The most basic way to create a phrase is to record a new phrase.For
more on the operations involved, refer to "Chapter 5 Using the RC-
50 in Multi Mode" (p. 57) or "Chapter 6 Using the RC-50 in Single
Mode" (p. 63), depending on the Play mode.
For more about recording, refer to "About Recording, Playback,
and Overdubbing" (p. 30).
Copying Phrases from Other
Patches (Phrase Copy)
If you already have a patch created, you can then take a specific
phrase from that patch and copy it to the current patch.
This is a convenient method to use when you need a pattern with the
same backing, as it allows you to prepare phrases simply and easily
without having to start recording from scratch again.

To prevent loss of the content of the current work, press
[WRITE] twice to save the current patch.
Since you need to confirm the sound of the current source
phrase, you must select the copy-source patch once in Phrase
Copy.
Save the patch so the content of the current operation is not lost.
2.
In the Play screen, rotate the PATCH/VALUE dial to select the
patch in which the phrase you want to copy is recorded.
3.
Press the PHRASE pedal for the phrase you want to copy; the
phrase is selected.
If necessary, press the REC/PLAY/OVERDUB pedal, and
confirm the sound as the phrase plays, then press the STOP
pedal to stop playback.

The phrase is copied. When copying is finished, the Play screen
returns to the display.
Do not turn off the power while the message "Now copying..."
is displayed. This may result in loss of recorded material.
7.
Rotate the PATCH/VALUE dial to select the patch edited
before copying.
When the remainder capacity of RC-50 is a little, the Phrase
Copy fails occasionally and the message "Memory Full!"
appears.

Importing Audio Files from
a Computer
You can connect a computer via USB and use imported files (.WAV)
as phrases.
For more detailed information on connecting to computers, refer to
"Chapter 9 Connecting to Computers" (p. 79).

Adjusting the Phrase Volume

You can set the volume of each of the phrases individually with the
PHRASE 1/2/3 LEVEL knobs.
When the knob is at the center position, the volume of the finished
phrase when played back is the same as the volume level during
recording.
Available Settings: 0–200 (100 with the knob at center position)
You may find it convenient to use the AUX/MIC/INST level
knobs to adjust the volume when recording and the PHRASE
LEVEL knobs to adjust the volume balance of each phrase after
recording.
