Pedal Settings; Naming A Patch - Boss RC-50 Workshop Series User Manual

Sounds assigned to the MAIN outputs are also sent to the PHONES
jack.
The RC-50 has system output settings that allow you to override the
settings made in a patch. When they're set this way, changes made on
the Phrase(1, 2, 3):Output screen won't have any effect. To learn more
about system output settings, see the RC-50 Workshop booklet Audio
Inputs and Outputs and Page 69 in the RC-50 Owner's Manual.

Pedal Settings

The RC-50 offers an enormous amount of realtime control via its seven
onboard foot pedals. While five of the onboard pedals are "hard-wired" to
control the primary functions found on their labels...
•
REC/PLAY/OVERDUB
•
STOP
•
PHRASE 1, 2, and 3
...two pedals—TEMPO and UNDO/REDO—can be reassigned to control
alternate functions if desired.
If you wish to have even more control, you can connect optional pedals to
the CTL 1, 2 PEDAL and EXP/CTL 3, 4 PEDAL jacks (four footswitches or two
footswitches and an expression pedal) and use them to control numerous
RC-50 functions. Additionally, MIDI CC messages (#1, #7, and #80) received at
the MIDI IN jack can be used to control up to three different functions.
Adding it all together, up to fourteen different functions can be controlled
in realtime when you incorporate external pedals and MIDI, and eleven of
these are user-assignable. That's a lot of control! What's great is that your
user assignments can be stored with patches, allowing you to reconfigure all
of your control assignments with a simple patch selection.
If you prefer not to have your control assignments change with
each patch selection, you can set them so they're the same for all
patches.
Pedal and MIDI CC settings are adjusted on the CTL/EXP PEDAL parameter
screens.
Press CTL/EXP PEDAL.

Use the PARAMETER buttons to display the desired

screen.
Use the parameter buttons to place the onscreen cursor under the

desired parameter.
Turn the PATCH/VALUE dial to choose the desired setting.

Repeat Steps 2-4 to set other parameters.
