Sounds  assigned  to  the  MAIN  outputs  are  also  sent  to  the  PHONES 
jack.

The  RC-50  has  system  output  settings  that  allow  you  to  override  the 
settings made in a patch. When they’re set this way, changes made on 
the Phrase(1, 2, 3):Output screen won’t have any effect. To learn more 
about system output settings, see the RC-50 Workshop booklet

Pedal Settings

The  RC-50  offers  an  enormous  amount  of  realtime  control  via  its  seven 
onboard foot pedals. While five of the onboard pedals are “hard-wired” to 
control the primary functions found on their labels...

REC/PLAY/OVERDUB
STOP
PHRASE 1, 2, and 3

...two  pedals—TEMPO  and  UNDO/REDO—can  be  reassigned  to  control 
alternate functions if desired.

If you wish to have even more control, you can connect optional pedals to 
the CTL 1, 2 PEDAL and EXP/CTL 3, 4 PEDAL jacks (four footswitches or two 
footswitches and an expression pedal) and use them to control numerous 
RC-50 functions. Additionally, MIDI CC messages (#1, #7, and #80) received at 
the MIDI IN jack can be used to control up to three different functions.

Adding it all together, up to fourteen different functions can be controlled 
in realtime when you incorporate external pedals and MIDI, and eleven of 
these  are  user-assignable. That’s  a  lot  of  control! What’s  great  is  that  your 
user assignments can be stored with patches, allowing you to reconfigure all 
of your control assignments with a simple patch selection.   



If  you  prefer  not  to  have  your  control  assignments  change  with 
each  patch  selection,  you  can  set  them  so  they’re  the  same  for  all 
patches.

Pedal and MIDI CC settings are adjusted on the CTL/EXP PEDAL parameter 
screens.

Press CTL/EXP PEDAL.
Use the PARAMETER buttons to display the desired 
screen.
Use  the  parameter  buttons  to  place  the  onscreen  cursor  under  the 
desired parameter. 
Turn the PATCH/VALUE dial to choose the desired setting.
Repeat Steps 2-4 to set other parameters.
Press EXIT when you’re done.

To learn how to connect external pedals and MIDI devices and check out the 
RC-50 parameters that can be assigned on the CTL/EXP PEDAL screens, see 
Chapters 7 and 8 in the 

RC-50 Owner’s Manual

Use  the  parameter  buttons  to  select  the  desired 
character position.

—to  switch  between  uppercase  and  lowercase 

characters.
