@@MiNiSoTaN good to hear! Thank you 😊

I don’t actually have this unit anymore but to my recollection there is no simple kick beat, which is a real shame!

Apart from playing endlessly as a recorded loop, which it will do, I’m not sure what you mean?

Glad it was of some use. Happy looping 😊

Glad it was useful!

Why does it sound out of sync?

@@ericchristianson7589 there's a slight difference like double tracked vocal, or digital delay I hear on the kick. It sounds like the loop you recorded and the built-in beatbox rhythm are playing at the same time. The beatbox rhythm could be turned off, and that slight delay should go away. Or as this occurs again, change the built-in beatbox to another rhythm to hear what I'm describing.

@@haroldwaynejackson7880 there was no delay on and rhythm was on for the roll function but volume was at 0.

No mic input going into the unit

I think it’s one of those things you have to try to know for sure. But as you say, whatever works for you 👍

Do you sing and play? It's impractical the other way around for me as well, unless you only have old school pedals w/in & outs on the sides, but you're still going to need a big gap between your top & bottom rows for your xlr cabling, unless you find 1/4 angled xlr cabling, which is a bit pricey, but if you have any pedals that are angled, like his boss DD-200, you can't run them on the top because it's impossible to depress the switches because they're on the sloped face, not without stomping on the looper anyway. I had to get creative & used a smaller, one-row 20 inch aluminum board & velcro'd it to a larger board, on the top of course, & against the angle of the RC-600, because the little board is angled as well, & it lifts the RC-600 up just enough, & on a perfectly flat surface which makes it much easier to use. GL

@@JeighNeither I don’t sing through the RC unit but of course if I did it is a good reason to go this way as well 👍

Nice one 🤘

Thanks! Glad it was useful.

Thanks! I'm not sure I can help beyond what's in the video. Can you be more specific? Will it just not let you record a second rhythm track?

@Eric Christianson HI, thank you for getting back to me. When I record on track 1 and select a pattern, that pattern is in memory. Of ibwant to go to track 2 and record a totally different genre pattern that will record in track 2. The problem is for me that track 1 now converts to what I did in track 2 instead of keeping track 1. Hope this makes sense.

All I can think of is that you've maybe missed a step in the routing to ensure the rhythm gets on to the track. Once it's there, and tempo sync is off, it should stay--so I'm stumped.

I will try again later today. I am sure it is something I am missing and not the machine. Thank you for getting back to me. Your video was very helpful.

​@Eric Christianson Eric, I figured out how to do what you were doing. The reason it didn't work for me was that I forgot to turn off the rhythm button. Right now I have track one and track tow on pedal buttons one and three. How did you designate rhythms on pedal buttons 1 and 2 versus 1 and 3 which seems to be factory settings?

Thanks man!

Hi. Thank you! I can see what you mean in terms of changing speed, but if you’re happy with keeping the tempo there’s a lot of flexibility particularly as you can add any track effects on the fly. Of course you can import prerecorded drums from daw too. Am going to do videos on both such possibilities 🤘

I totally understand that. The boss deep dive menus approach seems to be embedded in all their flagship pedals. For me though I find that the complex set up happens before a performance and you can keep it simple when playing. Also the price and size of the headrush have turned me off.

Glad it was helpful!

Hi. Thanks! I'm not sure of the answer to this. I know that if you press Loop and then select Play and scroll one screen to the right you get different options for which tracks the All Start/Stop function effects. I would try different variations of that. Cheers

@@ericchristianson7589 Thanks so much for your reply. I hadn't seen that so it definitely helps a lot! I will check on that. Thank you!

Thanks. And thanks for your tip too. It's not something I've tried but feel I should with the DD200! I don't think BlueSky has midi as far as I can see but its big brother BigSky probably does?

Thanks for the kind words. And yes the deep dive menus are so unintuitive. At least it’s usually worth it!

There is a fair point behind this comment so I have added timestamps/chapters so you can all skip ahead or not!

@@ericchristianson7589 I wasnt trying to be a penis, I just felt there was a lot of babbling going on. Good idea on the time stamps!

@@yoyoyo1671 i think there are valid reasons to take some time on these, theres a lot of videos like this that goes super fast and youll have to rewind to try to catch some things they didnt explain. But we all learn different i guess.

Could listen to that voice all day 😊

@@clarehayes2711 Glad to be of service! 🤣

Not that I can see! I guess it wouldn’t be easy to access on the fly unless there was a dedicated switch

@@ericchristianson7589 thank you!

Sorry for the late response. The answer is yes. Simply press the loop button, then select the track (on the left) and on the first page there is an option to set the track level individually. It is very useful.

Hi Bruce. Thanks so much for the kind words! I am hoping to get to another video about this beast soon : )

Hi Robert. Sorry for the delay. Have been on holiday. The key here I think is to have the rhythm off (with the dedicated rhythm button). If you turn it off you can start a loop and when you've finished recording it, it will detect the tempo but there will be no click, and you can sync other tracks to that tempo or not with the sync settings for each track. Does that help?

I know what you mean, Emilio. There are elements I wish I could take from the Trio+. The bass algorithms are brilliant. I wonder if they will update it! Still I have to say the sound quality live has been brilliant on this and the more I use it the more potential I find.

@@ericchristianson7589 Sorry Eric, you mean the more you use the Rc 600 the more potential you find in it, right?

@@emiliosujar7197 I do. It gets simpler in a way and more easy to streamline when you learn all its shortcuts

@@ericchristianson7589 Thanks so much, you help me a lot.

Thanks, Emilio! Are you asking about loops taken from a DAW? If so, I had to experiment. I was finding if there was any peaking in the mixdown before exporting, it would peak and deteriorate on the rc. As for recording rhythms on tracks I think it's similar. Try setting the rhythm level differently across a few tracks and see how it works with your input levels. In a word, there are many options to alter: track, rhythm, input, master output etc.

Thanks, Dean. I have had some luck syncing them, if you mean imported loops. I will be doing a vid soon on how to import from DAW and also from another pedal (like Trio Band) to DAW then RC-600. Cheers!

Glad it was helpful!

I'm using mine in a guitar & bass duo and really want to take advantage the rythem section.

Also. Did you use the rythem converter software to add the wave files? I can't seem to find any info on software.

You can definitely use the rhythm on its own. The best way I think is to assign a button (ideally external control) to rhythm start/stop. As for external rhythms I have found the converter software useless and confusing but the Tone Studio is good for importing a rhythm loop that you have bought or downloaded (see loopman website e.g.) or made on a DAW. Search Boss Tone Studio and you'll find tutorials. The Sweetwater article is really good.

@@ericchristianson7589 does it need to be external? I only need 1 or 2 tracks for looping. It's to bad Boss did make a mode for just utilizing the rythem section.

@@crossover8634 no, you can assign any of the 9 buttons on the unit for this function

Hi Mike. What you're seeing at 11:00 is me using one of the four main knobs as assigned in the menu. If you press MENU/SETUP and move two pages right you'll see options for assigning the four knobs for the whole system. I assigned Track 1 level to one of the knobs because I use it a lot. If you just want to adjust the level of each track, just press LOOP/TRACK (1-6) and adjust 'play level' on the first screen. Cheers.

I take your point. It’s all pointless if the song is crap. The song is everything. I write just with me and my guitar but if you have a solid tune this is just as helpful as anything else that promotes production quality such as pedals or daws. And I enjoy the process and get satisfaction from it. Whatever floats ur boat 🤘

@@ericchristianson7589 I got one of those

My pleasure 🤘

Ur most welcome 🤘

Thanks, Glade. Sounds like a great idea! Will try that.

I couldn't agree more. If Boss is listening, give us a firmware update with an additional assign to change genres. As it is, there are assigns to change the pattern on its own or the kit, and the kit can give you a very different sound--you need to set target minimum to one kit and max to another and you can toggle between.

@@ericchristianson7589 A Firmwareupdate adressing this would be great! I can only find assigns for variation and kit, are you sure there is one for pattern?

@@ONEPLAYERMODE oops I meant variation. Sorry!

I think there is no other way to start a loop of a different measure length at its beginning (e.g. on your Track 3) than to have loop sync off, but then with it off you cannot record a preset length unless you do so manually (i.e. getting your timing spot on finishing your loop exactly at the end of your 10 measures, and having that loop's measure length set to Free). Is there a reason you don't want to use the method I laid out in the vid? If you do you could have your loop lengths preset. What is the drawback for you?

@@ericchristianson7589 Thanks Eric for taking the time to respond. Greatly appreciated. I understand your suggestion and will sort this out. Cheers

Sell it. It's a doorstop. Boss should be ashamed of this mess

Thanks for that. Yeah, the Trio+ is a great pedal. I normally sell a loop pedal towards getting a new one but this is the only time I decided to keep my previous, the Trio, because it is such a cool writing tool and the bass algorithms are brilliant. I haven't tried midi drums yet with a looper though I did struggle for hours with the so-called rhythm converter for this pedal and found it to be crap! I would send midi drums from my DAW that sounded nothing like what they should on the RC-600, probably because the mapping is different??

Hi, thanks. As far as I can see the only fills option is under the rhythm menu going to a page where you see fill option to switch on or off. In the example I did here the switch was off. There is also a variation option that looks like it should switch variations either by measure or loop but I'm not sure that works (I couldn't notice a difference!).

Set "variation change" to "measure", then changen the variation while recording the rhythm onto your track. Should work.
