Here’s how to make a loop layer in real time. You don’t even have to take your hands off your instrument.
LOOP STATION
The Industry-Leading LoopStation
Looking for the ultimate loop recorder? Meet the
RC-50 … the most feature-laden LoopStation BOSS
has ever built. It’s the best live looping tool ever built
for that matter. Housed in a spacious sevenfootswitch
floor unit, the RC-50 lets you manipulate
three stereo phrase tracks simultaneously. Each
track supports multiple overdubs, so phrases can be
stacked one by one on each track, resulting in a
monstrous layer of looped phrases.
PHRASE RECORDER
The Travel-Light Looper
■ Basic Operation
For musicians who like compact rigs, the RC-20XL is the perfect
LoopStation for creating multi-layered performances in real time. Loops
and riffs can be stacked repeatedly until the 16 minutes (!) of ample
recording space is full; you can save up to 11 loops at a time. The Undo
and Auto-Quantize functions make it easy to create perfect loops. You
can even change the tempo of the loops without changing their pitch.
Never before has it been so easy to create a massive “one-person band”
sound in real time.
