All user reviews of 1/5 for the Boss RC-50 Loop Station

Loop station whose characteristics are easily found. I'll spend as much time to write my opinion that the "engineers" of Roland have to design this m ....

UTILIZATION

A gas plant, but poorly thought.
One example: a pedal to set the tempo, plus a "tap tempo" button, plus a knob. Why three physical thing when one (pedal) would have been enough (coupled with the wheel used anyway for other things).

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is correct (and it is the only thing that is).

OVERALL OPINION

I spent hours with the manual. I do a trick that works, and then, without any intervention on my part, the trick no longer works.
The loop will loop properly, unmanageable latency appears randomly when loop ...

To further give only one example (and there are many others), when trying to update meant to address the well-known problem of dead time between the last and the first time a loop , the instructions are so clear that a seller does not include Roland.
And when he put "press" ENTER "then there is no button" enter "on this machine, it gives an idea of ​​the professionalism of this box that is selling products not finished everything.

Another joke of this firm incapable: updates are proposed. Well.
Here is part of the way forward on the Roland website:

First, you need to know which version is currently in the machine.
Here's what the website says:

- Set the [rhythm OUTPUT LEVEL] knob to the the minimum. ---> There is no button "RHYTHM OUTPUT LEVEL" on this machine. Should probably include "GUIDE LEVEL"

- Set the [track 1] slider and the [track 2] slider to the minimum. ---> This is no "slider" but knob (button)

- Hold down the [down] button and the [rhythm ON / OFF] button, and connect a plug to the OUTPUT L / MONO jack. Then It Will turn on. ---> There is no "down" button or "UP". It should probably understand the arrows> and <, and also no button "rhythm on / off", again you have perhaps translated as "Guide Start / Stop". These two buttons are far away, so you are requested to ask a friend that assists you, because with your one hand is more need impossible.D'autant simultaneously introduce Jack in the "OUTPUT L / MONO jack", which of course does not exist. there is an OUTPUT SUB and MAIN OUTPUT, and have a whole two RIGHT MONO JACK (not a LEFT).

And, of course, all that does not work, and you wonder where you screwed up.

Makes you wonder if the guy who wrote it worked well with Roland, or if he wrote it for JAMMAN DIGITECH !!!

The general foutage of mouth.

The CHARACTERISTICS you know them all
on paper is the bomb! (256 mb from the non-expandable)
have about the same ultimate looper, twelve o'clock syncro etc ...
always bahi by Roland and BOSS products for 30 years I am a customer for their reliability fficacitme5 simplicity, w30, MV30) I run j'achte eyes closed, in June I Reserved and I've since July
j'enlve 2 points for 256 mb

UTILIZATION

No instructions in French! NNIS that on the forum soon trouvbr />
complex full of lights flashing, but hey I said if I want to do all that I want to pay is the price
but I m'tonne on notice not to find pictures of implmentation noon!
there are three change orders for dozens of feature, aie aie aie!

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is good, but when you move Fidler same 3-bpm tempo is the duck
So the tempo change is unnecessary
I put 10 to his otherwise

OVERALL OPINION

Nobody can use it as he wants (see forums)
all have big problems of sync, hack the total EST
before buying it I suggest you try it dtail have us take for beta testers, even large btas

See other reviews for features
basically that is a sampler looper (JamMan, HeadRush ....)

The difference from a competition that is the patch for three independent loops and MIDI sync

UTILIZATION

Manual in french
then no choice you really read the user manual as few buttons and a lot of functions

SOUND QUALITY

For this operation I am annoyed because I have sold my JAMMAN to buy the RC50 and I would have no

Wholesale:
MIDI sync does not work (I bought it on purpose for me stalling on a sequencer and samples)
loop when the first sentence there is a hole in the order of 1s in the reproduction?? which work on stage

for the rest that is not bad at all, the sound is good the three loops allow a lot of fancy memory a bit short if you are in stereo, but that is playable

OVERALL OPINION

I have been 4 months and I 'looking forward to an update because there' s the outright scam or deceptive advertising
It smells product (not fresh) put a little too fast on the market to counter the JAMMAN

if there is no update before Christmas, mine is for sale

small update: setting a long-awaited day has arrived and ... almost no change ---> SCAM

The features on the paper are a dream, the ultimate looper dixit roland

UTILIZATION

The spoils everything: 30% of the features promised on paper promised by roland do not work
impossible to synchronize among other things, you just see the forum list of bugs is too large

SOUND QUALITY

In normal use it is honestly a 7 out of 10 but if you use the change
the tempo is a scandal, a functions that promise does not absolutely
but I can not note below 0

OVERALL OPINION

Look before you buy out the forum, have to speak more than collective discontent mail than anything else
26 years that I use products which I admire roland
the I do not understand!
