displayed. Doing so can result in the loss of data you’ve saved in the
RC-50.
If there isn’t enough free memory to store the contents of the patch,
“Memory Full” is displayed and the patch-exchange process fails.

Initializing a Patch
Initializing a patch clears its contents and returns all patch parameters to the
factory defaults. A newly initialized patch is named “INIT PATCH.”

data you want to keep, select a different patch, or back up its data to
a computer via USB before proceeding.
Press WRITE.
Use the parameter buttons to display “Initialize.”
Turn the PATCH/VALUE dial to select the patch you wish to initialize.
Press WRITE. “Initializing...” is displayed during the initialization process.
When it’s complete, the RC-50 automatically returns to the Play screen.
Don’t turn off the power to the RC-50 while “Initializing...” is

the RC-50.
Patch Strategies
Performance Setups
The RC-50 excels as a live performance tool for recording and looping
phrases and building compositions on the fly. As you work with the RC-50,
you’ll probably find that specific parameter settings suit certain musical
situations better than others.
For example, Single mode is perfect for creating song sections one after
the other, with each section captured in a separate phrase. Multi mode, on
the other hand, is great for complex, layered multi-phrase performances. In
either mode, sometimes you’ll want to use the guide, while at other times
you may not need it. With other options such as Loop Sync, Tempo Sync,
etc.—not to mention external pedal and MIDI control assignments—the
creative possibilities are nearly endless.
