Capture Your Ideas in Superior Sound
Featuring best-in-class 32-bit AD/DA and 32-bit floating-point processing, the RC-5 captures your personal sound with full fidelity and keeps loops crystal clear, even with multiple overdubs. With 13 hours of stereo recording time, there´s plenty of space for extended creative journeys.
Perform and Practice With Inspiring Rhythms
With 57 preset rhythms and seven different drum kits, the RC-5 is ready to elevate loop and practice sessions with inspiring grooves for any style. For each rhythm, A/B variations are available via external control to bring energy and interest to performances. The RC-5´s looper engine also includes a cool reverse function that´s great for infusing your music with fresh sonic colors.
Take Control of Your Loops
The RC-5 provides an easy to navigate interface to keep an eye on loop status as you perform, with a backlight that changes color to indicate recording, overdub and playback states. Coupled with the multi-function parameter knob, it´s quick and easy to navigate rhythms, kits, system settings and more in the heat of the moment. The RC-5´s versatile pedal switch controls all looping functions—record, overdub, play, stop and undo/redo. Connect up to two external footswitches for direct control of many assignable functions, or an expression pedal for continuous adjustments.
Store and Share Your Musical Ideas
The RC-5 provides 99 phrase memories, letting you store loops as fast as you create them. In addition to audio, a phrase memory includes the selected rhythm and kit, so it´s ready to go when you call it up. Loop audio can be backed up to a computer via USB. And with WAV import via BOSS Tone Studio, the RC-5 becomes a pedalboard playback hub for lesson material, jam tracks or backing music for your next gig.
