Making the Patch Settings

These procedures are used to make the settings for the overall patch
playback and recording functions.

Making the Play Mode Settings

Before creating a patch, you will find it convenient to set the Play
mode settings best suited for the way the finished patch will be used
ahead of time.
For more detailed information about Play mode, refer to "About
Play Modes" (p. 28).
1.
Press [PLAY MODE] to switch to the Play Mode screen.
The RC-50 alternately switches to Single mode (indicator off) or
Multi mode (indicator lit) each time the button is pressed.

Setting Loop Sync

When the Play mode is set to Multi mode, you can have playback
repeat with all phrases synchronized to the longest phrase (Loop
Sync On), or have playback repeat according to the length of each
individual phrase (Loop Sync Off).
1.
Press [LOOP SYNC] to switch Loop Sync on or off.
Loop Sync alternately switches on (indicator lit) or off (indicator
off) each time the button is pressed.

For more detailed information about Loop Sync, refer to
"Playing Back Phrases with All Lengths and Beginnings
Aligned: Loop Sync" (p. 28).
Simultaneously Starting Recording When
Sounds Are Input (Auto Recording)
You can have recording start simultaneously with the beginning of
musical performances (Auto Recording).
This makes it convenient to have the start of recording timed to the
input of the audio, for example when you want to synchronize the
start of recording to playback from a CD player.
1.
Press [AUTO REC] to switch Auto Recording on or off.
Auto Recording alternately switches on (indicator lit) or off
(indicator off) each time the button is pressed.

2.
Press REC/PLAY/OVERDUB pedal.
The REC/PLAY/OVERDUB pedal's indicator flashes rapidly in
red, and the RC-50 switches to recording standby mode.
3.
Start the performance with the instrument, CD player, or other
device.
Recording starts when any signal at or above the value set for
the trigger level (p. 69) is input.
When recording is started through reception of a MIDI Start
message from an external MIDI device, recording begins
immediately, without the RC-50 switching to recording standby.
Setting the Overdubbing
Method (Overdubbing Mode)
You can set the overdubbing method (overdubbing modes) from any
of three modes.
1.
Press [OVERDUB MODE] to switch the overdubbing mode.
The overdubbing mode switches each time the button is
pressed, and the OVERDUB MODE indicator corresponding to
the selected overdubbing mode lights.

Available Settings Description
The new performance is layered onto the prere-
corded phrases. If overdubbing is repeated, the
next performance is layered on top of the previ-
OVERDUB
ous material, allowing you to create an ensemble
in a single phrase.
Phrases with existing recordings are overwritten
as new phrases are recorded over them. Over-
writing takes places while the previously record-
REPLACE
ed phrases are played back, allowing you to
achieve a kind of delay effect similar to that ob-
tained from an effects processor.
Previously recorded phrases are erased as they
are overwritten by newly recorded phrases. This
differs from REPLACE in that overwriting takes
MOMENTARY
place only while the REC/PLAY/OVERDUB
PUNCH-IN
pedal is held down. This overwrites only at cer-
tain points, which is convenient when you want
to edit previously recorded phrases.
