Yea i couldn't get trigger the loops on time that
well either so I set the pedals to change at the end of the loop, so I hit the
next loop and it changes exactly at the end of the previous rather then when I
immediatly hit the pedal..I Love this feature and it works like a charm..Plus if
you have say loop 2 or 3 that you want as a one shot loop, you can set each loop
the way you want it to trigger so loop one, or you main loop can be set to
trigger at loop end and the other 2 can be set as a one shot that will
immediately trigger when you hit the pedals..VERY cool.

Subject: Re: BOSS RC-50 impressions/pedal
"action"
received the boss rc50 yesterday and have been
working with it quite a bit since. the overall features seem
solid. i'm liking the sub out option of sending just a loop signal to a
drummer/bass player.
i'm not a novice at working with looping units -
i've worked with the boomerang, the rc20 and the echoplex with the berringer
midi pedal. i realize it takes some work to get a feel for the each
unit's pedal "action" for lack of a better word, but i'm struggling with this
units pedals in a way i had not anticipated. generally my rhythm
skills are very solid. for the most part i've been able to create pretty
seamless loops with the other units, but this one.......i'm getting a
pronounced "hiccup" frequently at the end of the recording and the begining of
the playback of the "phrase". the wierd thing is that when i listen to
the playback over several repetitions, i don't hear the "hiccup", and for the
most part the phrase sounds ok.
so, i just got off the phone with ryan
at roland customer support, and he says i'm not losing my mind, that he has
experienced the same thing. in "single" mode, this is less of a problem,
but in multi mode it is more prononuced. unbelievable.....i can't
believe they would let this slip by, especially after the long wait for the
damn thing. i mean you can pretty much do the single mode thing with the
rc20....the whole point is to be able to use the multi mode
functions.
his suggestions were to "play through" the first beat of the
phrase after you've hit the end of the recording of it....ok, that seems like
a pain. he also seems to think that roland will eventually issue a
software update.
i suppose none of this matters if you usually
start your loop with silence on the first beat.......and how many of us do
that?
when is that new boomerang supposed to come out?
anyone have impressions, opinions on this?
thanks,
John
