25 Recording and Performing Along with the Guide The RC-2 has a built-in guide that can be used as a rhythmic accompaniment during recording, playback, and overdubbing. A variety of guide patterns are pro- vided, covering many different musical styles.
26 Using the RC-2 for Practicing—Phrase Trainer While a saved phrase is playing back, its tempo can be adjusted without changing its pitch. This func- tionality is great for slowing down musical phras- es—such as fast guitar solos recorded from a CD/ digital audio player—making them easier to learn and practice with.
27 Playing a Phrase Only Once (One-Shot Playback) When a phrase is saved to a phrase track (1-11), it’s initially set to loop playback. After is has been saved, turning the MODE knob to allows you t.
28 Operating the RC-2 with an External Footswitch You can use FS-5U or FS-6 footswitches (optional) to stop re- cording, playback, and overdubbing, set tempos, clear the temporary memory, and switch phrases (Phrase Shift). When Connecting an FS-5U Connect the FS-5U to the STOP/TEMPO jack.
29 Operating the RC-2 with an External Footswitch ● When the FS-5U connected using the plug with the white stripe or the FS-6’s B pedal is pressed • Pressing the footswitch during recording, playback, or overdubbing stops the RC-2. • While the RC-2 is stopped, you can set the tempo by repeatedly pressing the footswitch at the desired speed.
30 Operating the RC-2 with an External Footswitch • You can advance to any phrase while the current phrase is playing by pressing the pedal switch the corresponding number of times.
31 Saving and Deleting Phrases About Memory The memory of the RC-2 is divided into two areas: Phrase tracks 1-11 and the temporary memory. A phrase that you record or overdub is first stored in temporary memory.
32 Saving and Deleting Phrases Saving Phrases (WRITE) When you have finished recording or overdubbing, or after you have edited the tempo or other settings of a phrase, you can then save the phrase. When you save a phrase, the tempo and beat settings current at that time are stored in the selected guide pattern.
33 Saving and Deleting Phrases Erasing a Saved Phrase (DELETE) 1. Turn the MODE knob to DELETE. 2. Turn the PHRASE SELECT knob to select the phrase track that you wish to delete. When you turn the PHRASE SELECT knob, any record- ed data that has not been saved is deleted.
34 About the Tempo and Time Signature The RC-2 allows you to set the tempo and time signature sepa- rately for each phrase track. These settings also determine how the guide tone will play, and how loop quantization will occur.
35 About the Tempo and Time Signature Setting the Tempo When you wish to record to an empty phrase track, you can set the tempo before recording. You can also change the playback tempo when playing back saved phrase tracks. * If you save a phrase after changing the playback tempo, the phrase is then saved with the modified tempo.
36 About the Tempo and Time Signature Setting the Time Signature (4/4) for the Guide In addition to 4/4, the RC-2 allows you to set a 3/4 time signature. If you want to record a phrase with a time signature of 3/4, set this time signature before you start recording.
