Re: RC-50 FEEDBACK WORKS
"If you're just a coffeehouse guitarist looping a few rhythm chucks
over which to lay a solo (and this is nothing against coffeehouse
guitarists -- there are some damn fine ones out there), then a looper
with no feedback is gonna work just fine."
perhaps it's the just in "just a coffeehouse guitarist..." that stings a little..... : )
seriously, i am something of that breed, worked with boomerang, rc20, edp and now the rc50.....just as i was getting ready to receive my rc50, i started experimenting with the mystical feedback feature on the edp, and now i get it.........and i'd not even scratched the surface. so, yeah, i totally understand why that's so important to the more sophisticated users of this technology. and, of course, now i miss it on the rc50.
as far as feedback with the rc50, the detailed descriptions in buzap's postings specifically, i'll have to spend some time with that, but i know i don't want to be messing with mixers.....that kind of screws the whole point of having everything in one unit.
generally with the rc50, i've been able to use it in several performances since i got it (some coffeehouse, some not...he says with humor), and i still like what's good about it more than what frustrates me. i've already had use for stereo outs and the sub out, the rhythm tracks also (for writing, not performing), even after i thougt there was no way in hell i'd use those. the fade out feature can be cool, if not real true feedback.
in the negative column, i was one of the first posters to bitch about the "hiccups", and i still find the fact that i have to "play through 'one' of the first playback measure" a pain, though i've been able to adapt to it. i have no idea if that will be addressed or not.
two questions-
1/ does anyone know if there is a way to set the rc50 so that the default setting of the guide track is off? god help you if you forget that it's not and go to start a performance with that wonderful little groove that's there.....have mercy!
2/ does anyone know if there is a way to copy a loop/phrase(s) from one patch to the next....the idea being that the first patch is set for stop to be immediate, but the next patch is set for a fade?
