High sound quality

Highest sound quality in its class with 32-bit AD/DA conversion and 32-bit float (floating point) internal processing. The sound remains faithful to the original and clear even after repeated recording. The RC-5 supports up to 13 hours of stereo recording, allowing you to capture your performance in its entirety.

Versatile Routing and Mixing Capabilities

The RC-500's abundant inputs and outputs and streamlined interface will not hinder an artist's creative process. It features mono/stereo compatible inputs and outputs and a separate XLR microphone input jack with phantom power. 2 tracks can be played back alternately, Track 1 and Track 2, for song development, or 2 tracks can be played back simultaneously for complex sound layering. The LCD backlight changes color as playback, recording, overdub, or stop is performed, allowing the user to check the status at a glance. The track fader and microphone level can be adjusted directly while playing back looped phrases for smooth operation.

Control as You Like

Three footswitches on the main unit allow easy control of record, playback, stop, and track switching. Up to two external footswitches can be added, allowing you to freely assign functions according to your playing style. Continuous parameter control is also possible when an expression pedal is connected. In addition, the space-saving TRS MIDI input/output is equipped for linking with external MIDI equipment. It is useful in a variety of situations, such as tempo synchronization with drum machines and DAWs.

Customize to the optimum settings

Sound input/output and footswitches can be customized to suit the player's needs. For example, the left and right input signals can be recorded to separate tracks, or the guitar and vocal sounds can be output separately. Each footswitch can be freely customized by assigning ON/OFF for built-in effects, rhythm playback/stop, and so on. Customized settings can be saved with phrases and recalled at any time.

Rhythm and LOOP FX add dynamism to performances

The RC-500's rhythm and LOOP FX bring a lively groove to your performance. 16 drum kits and 57 preset rhythms with 2 variations can be combined to create a rhythm sound to suit a variety of styles. The REPEAT and SCRIPTURE kits are also available. The combination of LOOP FX, such as REPEAT and SCATTER, allows for even more dynamic live performances. The innovative reverse function can also be used to add unique arrangements to loop performances.

From Production to Practice to Performance

The RC-500 features 99 memories, allowing you to save your ideas on the fly. Saved loop phrases can be backed up via USB. The RC-500 can be used not only for real-time looping performances, but also for a wide variety of other applications, including practice, live background music playback, and jam sessions.
