Creating Loop Phrases by Recording Guitar or Bass Performances
1.
Turn the PHRASE SELECT knob to select an
empty phrase track (1-11).
The LOOP/ONE SHOT indicator remains off when a
phrase track is empty.
If there are no empty phrase tracks, or when the LOOP/
ONE SHOT indicator flashes to indicate that the memo-
ry is full, delete any unnecessary phrases to free up
some memory (p. 33).
2.
Set the MODE knob to .
If you are recording in time with the tempo, you can
press the TAP TEMPO button several times to set the
tempo. (Loop Quantize (p. 34) is enabled after the tem-
po is set.)
When the tempo is set, the guide starts playing; adjust
the volume level of this sound with the GUIDE knob.
* For detailed information about setting the tempo, refer to
“Setting the Tempo” (p. 35).
* You can also set the tempo using the STOP/TEMPO jack.
Refer to “Operating the RC-2 with an External Footswitch”
(p. 28).
* If you are recording a phrase with a time signature other
than 4/4, set the time signature now (p. 36).
3.
Press the pedal to start recording.
If the tempo has not been set, recording begins simulta-
neously with the press of the pedal. If the tempo has
been set, recording begins one measure after the pedal
is pressed.
* Recording is stopped if the pedal is pressed once while this
one measure is playing back.
4.
Press the pedal to stop recording.
Playback of the recorded phrase begins simultaneously.
* If the tempo has been set, Loop Quantize automatically
adjusts the phrase length to the nearest measure unit at the
time the pedal is pressed. (“Loop Quantize”; p. 34). Because
of this, a certain amount of time may be required from when
you press the pedal until recording stops.
* The minimum length of time required for a loop phrase is
approximately 1.5 seconds. If the phrase you’ve recorded is
shorter than that, the length of the phrase will be adjusted
automatically, and then recording will stop.
5.
If you want to overdub onto the phrase,
press the pedal.
Pressing the pedal toggles between playback and over-
dubbing modes.
* You can undo and redo the most recently recorded overdub
(Undo/Redo; p. 15).
