Triple Stereo Loops
Create,
stack, and manipulate multi-layered loops with the RC-300’s three stereo
tracks — each track being independently controllable. The “Auto
Recording” feature starts recording the moment you begin playing your
instrument, or as soon as you start a connected audio player. Count-In
mode gives you one-bar of rhythm before recording starts. You can
Undo/Redo as you go. The sky’s the limit with three hours of recording
time!
Expanded Pedalboard
The RC-300’s ultra-wide
pedalboard is equipped with an Expression pedal (which can be assigned
to a variety of parameters) and enlarged footswitches for controlling
REC/PLAY and STOP for each track. There’s also a master ALL START/STOP
footswitch onboard. Additionally, three independent faders provide
immediate control of each track’s output volume. And if that’s not
enough control under your hands and feet, you can also connect external
Expression pedals and footswitches (sold separately).
Onboard FX
Process
your tracks and external-input signals with the RC-300’s expressive
onboard effects, including Transpose, Flanger, Phaser, Modulator, vocal
effects, and more. A dedicated LOOP FX footswitch is provided for
instant activation of the onboard effects. Control the effects
parameters in real time with the Expression pedal for hands-free
creativity onstage. You can apply the effects to any single track as
well as to the entire mix, expanding your creativity and musical
expression.
Rhythm Guide and Preloaded Audio
To
keep your loops tight and in time, you can play along with one of the
cool rhythm patterns in the RC-300’s onboard library as you record; the
Loop Quantize feature helps you having your recordings looped in time.
Dozens of rhythm types are onboard, including rock, pop, shuffle, Latin,
and more. A dedicated knob lets you adjust the volume of the rhythm,
and you can set the tempo incrementally or via tap tempo. You can also
specify the time signature. When you save a phrase, the rhythm type and
time signature will also be saved. To get you up and running right away,
the RC-300 comes preloaded with audio backing tracks (including bass
tracks, piano tracks, etc.) for instant play-along performance and fun.
USB Connectivity
Connect
the RC-300 to your computer via a standard USB cable, and back up your
phrases externally for safekeeping. You can import and export WAV files
between your computer and the RC-300; 16-bit/44.1kHz WAV files of up to
1.7GB in size can be imported.
AUX Input
In
addition to recording your instrument performances and turning them into
playable loops, you can record other external stereo audio sources via
the AUX IN. Sounds from a digital-audio player or other device connected
to the AUX input can easily be recorded and added to your loop
performance.
