From beatboxers and guitar players to keyboardists and singer\/songwriters, if you're looking for a creative launchpad for writing songs at home and building loops in the live environment, the BOSS RC-500 makes the perfect addition to your setup. Record and overdub onto the RC-500's two independent tracks, then toggle, blend, and mix to your heart's content. Onboard Loop FX (Beat, Repeat, Shift, Scatter, and Vinyl) let you add texture to loops for greater variation. The BOSS RC-500 Loop Station gives you 13 hours of flawless 32-bit stereo record time parceled out into 99 recallable Phrase Memories. Phrase Memories store not only base loops and overdubs you've laid down, but also Loop FX and any of the 114 onboard drum grooves and 16 drum kits you've chosen for accompaniment. Thanks to the RC-500's USB connection, you can easily backup and reload loops by the setful. The animated RGB backlit LCD keeps you apprised of measure, beat, and loop status every step of the way. Looking for more control? The RC-500 also gives you stereo ins and outs, an assignable external footswitch\/expression pedal port, and even TRS-MIDI in\/out for sync with drum machines and remote operation from your pedalboard MIDI switcher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"webtext-block webtext-switched webtext-block--media-right webtext-block--mixed-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"webtext__column webtext--text\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e13 hours of 32-bit stereo record time*\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen inspiration strikes, you can count on BOSS's RC-500 Loop Station to capture those fleeting moments of musical creativity.

Whether you're using the RC-500's 99 Phrase Memories to generate playback material on the stage or archiving your studio-worthy song ideas for further review and arrangement, the RC-500 delivers the run time and quality you're searching for.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*\u003cem\u003eMaximum single track length: 1.5 hours\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e99 Phrase Memories + USB backup\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs anyone with a looper will tell you, those memory slots store up fast.

Get up to 3-1\/2 hours of run time on four AA batteries. Or for more permanent pedalboard setups, run the RC-500 long-term on a standard 9-volt center-negative power supply, such as the Roland PSA-S (not included).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"webtext-block webtext-switched webtext-block--media-right webtext-block--mixed-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"webtext__column webtext--text\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e114 built-in drum patterns\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you're laying down a rhythm part, a backbeat can galvanize your grooves like nothing else.
