Cancelling a Recording/Overdubbing (Undo/Redo/Track Clear)
You can undo/redo by holding down the [REC/DUB/PLAY] pedal for two seconds or longer. You can clear the track by holding down the [STOP] pedal
for two seconds or longer.
Operation Explanation
Undo
If you hold down the [REC/DUB/PLAY] pedal for two seconds or longer during recording, overdubbing or playback, the recording or
the most recent overdub on each track will be cancelled.
“U1,” “U2,” or “U3” will be displayed at the lower left of the screen to indicate the track number for which the Undo has been carried
out. A Redo can be carried out with respect to a track for which this indication appears.
INIT MEMORY
U1
Redo
If you want to restore the cancelled sound, hold down the [REC/DUB/PLAY] pedal for at least two seconds while playback once
again.
* Redo is only available for overdubbing.
Track
clear
Holding down the [STOP] pedal for two seconds or longer will clear the track. (This Clear operation is temporary; the track saved in
the phrase memory will not be erased.)
If you want to restore the contents of a track that has been cleared, reselect the phrase memory. However, if a track has not been
saved, you won’t be able to restore its contents.
Example of Actual Loop Recording
How let’s try loop-recording the following simple 8-beat phrase of vocal percussion (using your voice to imitate the sounds of a drum set) via a
microphone.
Bass drum
“Dun!”
Snare drum
“Pah!”
Hi-hat
“Chi!”
Preparations

INIT MEMORY
EMPTY
Record while listening to the rhythm sound
In addition to its three tracks, the RC-300 can sound a “rhythm.” By recording while you listen to a rhythm at the
tempo you’ve specified, you can record at an accurate tempo. For details, refer to “About Rhythm” (p. 25).
