RC-50 positives



Experience with RC-50, focusing on the positives.
After playing with the RC-50 for couple of weeks I am finding it interesting in my set up.
It is a large learning curve for me with the DR-5 added, which is complex on it's own.
I have used the multi mode most the time with fade in/outs being used for decay/swell when phrase is started/stopped.  The feedback loop gives a decay when recording a phrase, but using the Aux input for amount of decay is very sensitive. I am still wrestling with the unit so that I don't have to make any changes to system settings and all the setup is in the patch settings. My progress is aided by a lot of Suduko.:-)
Panning the DR-5 tracks gives me instruments to the looper while keeping custom drum tracks
going to the speakers. (If only I had a way to change the Variation change buttons to change with the phrases on the looper)
The Danelectro double neck guitar was changed from a baritone to bass with a stereo jack added to seperate the necks. This has been interesting with mechanical resonance making the sound whispery from the unused neck.
The mixer is useful with sub 1/2 being seperate for input to looper.
