Play Mode

The RC-50 provides two Play modes: Single and Multi. 
In  Single  mode,  only  one  phrase  can  play  at  a  time. 
In  Multi  mode,  all  three  phrases  can  play  at  once. 
Additionally, Multi mode offers a feature called Loop 
Sync,  which  provides  an  easy  way  to  keep  a  patch’s 
three phrases synchronized with each other.

To select a Play mode:

Press the PLAY MODE button to select the desired setting. To choose:

Single mode

—press PLAY MODE so its indicator is dark.

Multi mode

—press PLAY MODE so its indicator lights.

If you’ve chosen Multi mode, you can enable Loop Sync by pressing the 
LOOP  SYNC  button  so  its  indicator  lights.  (The  LOOP  SYNC  button  is 
disabled when the RC-50’s in Single mode.)

To learn more about the Play modes, see the RC-50 Workshop booklets 

Using Single Mode 

and 

Using Multi Mode

, and Chapters 5 and 6 in the 

RC-50 Owner’s Manual

.

Auto Recording

When the Auto Recording feature is enabled, recording doesn’t begin until 
the RC-50 receives audio from one of its input jacks.

To enable Auto Recording, press AUTO REC so its indicator 
lights.

To learn more about Auto Recording, see Page 47 in the 

RC-50 Owner’s 

Manual

.


Input Mode

The  Input  mode  settings  affect  how  audio  signals  are 
recorded  from  the  RC-50’s  audio  inputs,  including 
whether  they’re  captured  as  stereo  or  mono  phrase 
recordings. To adjust Input mode settings:

Press INPUT MODE.
Use the PARAMETER buttons to display the desired Input mode screen. 
Turn the PATCH/VALUE dial to choose the desired setting.
Repeat Steps 2-3 to adjust other Input mode settings.
Press EXIT when you’re done.

To  learn  about  the  Input  mode  screens,  see  the  RC-50 Workshop  booklet 

Audio Inputs and Outputs

 and Page 48 in the 

RC-50 Owner’s Manual

.

Overdub Mode

The Overdub mode determines how audio is overdubbed 
into  a  phrase.  Repeatedly  press  the  OVERDUB  MODE 
button  to  cycle  through  the  three  different  Overdub 
modes. 

The OVERDUB MODE indicators light to reflect the current setting.

When OVERDUB is lit

—overdubbed audio is combined with the audio 

previously recorded in the phrase.

When  REPLACE  is  lit

—overdubbed  audio  replaces  audio  that  was 

recorded previously.

When MOMENTARY PUNCH-IN is lit

—overdubbed audio replaces audio 

that was recorded previously, but only while the REC/PLAY/OVERDUB 
pedal  is  pressed.  This  is  convenient  for  fixing—or  “punching  in”—
mistakes in a previously recorded performance.
