The Boss RC-505 is an incredibly powerful stage tool for a new generation of loopers. The compact box takes up little space on a table but allows you to control 5 stereo tracks that can be reproduced in different ways. The built-in effects transform the recorded audio signal as surprisingly as it is expressive. Connect a microphone, an electronic instrument or any other audio source and play with the controls to create your loops, layer by layer, and make your audience dizzy!
Its strengths:
- Loop Station can be controlled with your hands - ideal for beatboxers, singers and club artists
- 5 stereo tracks available simultaneously with dedicated controls and independent volume faders
- Wide range of effects for input and recorded signals, including sampler and DJ effects
- Independent selection of tempo and playback mode for each track
- 99 memories each containing the 5 tracks, effects, reproduction settings, etc.
- 85 rhythm patterns, including complex measures
- Remote control via MIDI and foot switches or expression pedal
- USB socket for exchanging audio data with a computer and exchanging audio and MIDI data with DAW software
- XLR microphone input with phantom power, mono / stereo instrument inputs and stereo AUX input
5 stereo tracks with dedicated controls: The BOSS RC-505 Loop Station has 5 stereo tracks available simultaneously ... a record! Separate controls for recording, adding, and playing, as well as Stop buttons and volume faders for each track, make steering more intuitive and loops significantly more impressive. You can choose a playback mode ("Multi", "Single", "One-Shot", "Reverse" etc.) and different tempo settings for each track.
Powerful built-in effects: With internal effects, your sounds and loops have a dramatic impact. By processing the input signals with the "ROBOT" and "VOCODER" effects, your sound enters a new dimension. For phrase reproduction, effects like "VINYL FLICK" and "BEAT REPEAT" will appeal to the most daring DJs and artists. You can assign effects to 6 dedicated buttons (3 for the INPUT FX section and 3 for the TRACK FX section) so you can easily turn them on and off. The INPUT FX and TRACK FX controls allow you to directly adjust effect parameters (filter frequency, effect intensity, etc.). The output signal can still be processed by a global compressor and reverberation effects.
Memory of sentences and rhythms: The 99 phrase memories store all of the data: track data, playback settings, effect settings, etc. Frequent settings can be saved as a "User Set" and then loaded instantly when you want to process sentences with completely different settings. If you need a metronome or an instant rhythm machine, just use one of the 85 internal rhythm patterns: in addition to the current grooves, you will find complex measures that are out of the ordinary. If necessary, the rhythm part can be sent only to the PHONES output to serve as a metronome.
