I thought this looked familiar.... I'm glad to see you fixed up the audio! This is a great demo of the RC-202, I think that the tabletop-format looper is best next to synths/keyboards with patch storage and this really shows it.
Have you tried MIDI out from the Roland? I have with a Roland JX-XI to the Boss rc202 and can't get them to talk, at all. I also haven't been able to export into a DAW. Videos on these would be appreciated. Thanks.
5:38 effects! Excellent tutorial. The best one I have seen. That slicer! That Filter! I am pairing with OP1 and OPZ. Stoked after watching this. Thanks for the job well done.
Gonna try that bass line on my Sub Phatty.It will sound killer.Too bad Roland Doesent make JP08 anymore I got late in the Boutiqe thing bought three boutiques ,but anyway there are other options too.Great job!
thank you for this demo, very good !!! I just bought a boss rc 505, my problem is when I record a loop. I put the track in read, after the loop I have a silence (or stop) and the reading resumes or loop restart (track 1), help please
hello...just asked a guy a guitar center an he had no idea...but can the Rc-202 be setup with midi to start recording a loop at the same time the JP sequencer starts its 1st measure ?..or when it hits its 1st measure while repeating?
Is there a way to have the RC record only the Mic input and NOT the aux coming from my sampler? (I would like to record vocals on top while the sample is playing.)
my noob doubt is: if the loopstation is recording, the rec is passing to the computer and then we can use it in DAW and edited a video with some music from the loopstation.......am I right ?
THIS IS WHAT I MIGHT NEED. I just bought the limited edition on the JD XI ( RED ) and don't really like the overdub, recording feature on it. I need something that I can lay down longer compositions with. My question is this ? How many layers can you use and how does the memory work for exporting if it's possible ? Thanks
It can make layers almost infinite, from 10-12 layers it starts to hear badly. I am a beatboxer and I still think that the rc - 505 and the 202 did it for the beatboxers. If you want to buy a loopstation so powerful to only make loops, I do not recommend it, but if you know how to make a beatbox and use it with a mic, it may be fine.
I’m considering a looper. I need something with MIDI so that I can incorporate my bass playing alongside my Dawless jams. I’ve been looking at either the EHX 1440, or one of these rc 202s. What are people saying about the pros and cons of these 2, or have any other loop pedals with Midid capabilities that they’d recommend looking at? Cheers.
do you know how to get different length of sound looped? in example, in track one it's 4sec and in track two its 30sec. I'm not really sure if it's clear my question...
and, if they are from the loop station, are they good? I play synths and I'm looking for an easier and more direct way then Ableton to do music also cause I don't like to use a software during the creative process. Is something like this a good choice?
In this demo the synth and looper are not midi-synched. The length of the first loop he recorded (in time with the 202's inbuilt rhythm track) effectively sets the tempo of the tune, and all subsequent loops are the same length.
@@TwoGunToast I didn't get an answer either and I'm by no means an expert but I think there is a 1/8" to dual 1/4" cable going from the JP08's output to the RC202's inputs. I think I was a little thrown off by the 202's headphone jack and outputs being occupied. Hope this helps!
It is connected by a 3.5mm jack from the JP08 to two 1/4” (left and right) inputs on the back of the RC202. There is actually a 3.5mm stereo AUX input on the front of the RC202 so you can simply use a 3.5mm stereo jack cable from the Output of the JP08 to the AUX input on the front of the RC202. That is how I connect to it. I have multiple Boutiques controlled by an Arturia Keystep connected to the RC202 through a 3.5mm jack splitter. I simply change the MIDI channel on the Keystep to record the different synths into the RC202.
I believe it's one or two measures, so 4 or 8 quarter notes but you can adjust the BPM. Can also just how many measures it records for if I'm not mistaken.
1) Can the length be changed after a loop is recorded? Like can I stretch a 4-bar loop to an 8-bar loop? If so does it have the option to preserve pitch? 2) Can the pitch be changed? Standard function for samplers, yet I've yet to see this demonstrated in an RC-505 vid.
This is probably an incredibly dumb question but every tutorial I look up assumes the watcher has a certain level of knowledge already and I need to know. The 202 and keyboard are not directly connected to each other from what I see so they're interacting together through a DAW right? How do you get the 202 to recognize that the keyboard is playing and allow it to pick up on it? I, in particular, have a keyboard with no built in sounds so it relies on the DAW to for sounds. What I see in this video is it's essentially going from the keyboard to the DAW, to the 202 and then back to the DAW as a looped sound. I'm most likely wrong but literally not a single video or forum I could find covers this basic set up information of how to get instruments to interact with the loop station through a DAW without plugging directly into it. I have never used USB instruments and devices before for music and have nobody in my life I can just ask about it. I hope this all makes sense and please know how I dumb I feel walking blindly into this shit.
@Sènevè Mwadi I did however find a small piece of knowledge,. If your midi piano/midi pad etc has a Headphone jack get an Aux cable and go from the headphone to the aux input on the 202, even with loaded sounds from the DAW the loop station should pick it up just fine when you play. As for how thatll feed from the Loop Station to the DAW for a final sound recording I'm unsure of yet.
Will it cut loops based on tempo provided by a midi clock ?? Basically if I play drum machine loops into it and both the looper and the drum machine are midi clock syncd, will the loops be perfectly cut and loop?
Ok.... "to prove you don't need anything fancy to make great music" I think these two pieces of gear are the DEFINITION OF "FANCY" ... so yes, you do need such things ... a better demo would be the Looper and a WOODEN STICK!
autoimmune hammerheadsharks fancy equipment meaning a computer and rack/desk rig that take up a ton of space and aren't known to be portable. This is barely any more than a guitar and a looper pedal. Of course you cant play a guitar with a looper pedal if you don't have a guitar or looper pedal...
I love the simplicity of it . I’m absolutely fried from all the tech . Just wanna play some synths and record with worry about all the crap
One of my favorite gear demos ever. What a COOL tune.
I thought this looked familiar.... I'm glad to see you fixed up the audio!
This is a great demo of the RC-202, I think that the tabletop-format looper is best next to synths/keyboards with patch storage and this really shows it.
Amazing performance! I need this looper for my band, that would be great alongside live bass, drums and vocals.
Props Andy!! Great demo! Choosing between a Spanish guitar and the RC-202, appels and pears, but this may have gotten me over.
finally someone who actually runs thru how to use it in a simple manner,,,thx man...

this is cool,..think im going to buy one right now,..treat myself to something nice!
Very cool demo!!!
i Absolutely love this melody/song!!!
Awesome demo!
Is it possible to connect the headphone out from my Roland fantom to the inst-input (R+L) on the RC-202? Or do I have to use the AUX-input?
Thanks for the video!

Hey guys, can you tell me if the RC-202 can receive and process midi data from the ES-8 to select, play back and stop recorded loops and samples?
Really stunning! Best tutorial ever.
Both fantastic products.
Is the effect still can added after a track recorded? What else is different from the Rc 505?
Thank you sir, I enjoyed the level of practical application in this video
Amazeing bit of kit.....I use a Deluge for looping samples but its arkward to use compaired to this unit...
What an excellent demo!!!!! Man!!!!!!
thank you for this demo, very good !!!
I just bought a boss rc 505, my problem is when I record a loop. I put the track in read, after the loop I have a silence (or stop) and the reading resumes or loop restart (track 1), help please
dope demo!
great demo
hello...just asked a guy a guitar center an he had no idea...but can the Rc-202 be setup with midi to start recording a loop at the same time the JP sequencer starts its 1st measure ?..or when it hits its 1st measure while repeating?
how long can i record for with one click of the record button?
Are there different scenes to transition between sections?
Is there a way to have the RC record only the Mic input and NOT the aux coming from my sampler? (I would like to record vocals on top while the sample is playing.)
my noob doubt is: if the loopstation is recording, the rec is passing to the computer and then we can use it in DAW and edited a video with some music from the loopstation.......am I right ?
Damn I wish I was that good. Love it! 🎶☀️✨
very clear , thanks !
nice one...i'm just waiting for my rc 505 to arrive :)
cresshead
This is the most amazing demo. Andy should go on sonic state! I'm now gonna go play with my jp-08 as this made it sound amazing!
setphaser I want one so bad
i got da 505 n it soooooo sick
Best demo of the RC-202 !!

Get RC300 and be done with loopers.
Unfortunately it cannot be slaved to an external midi clock as far a I know...
@@savanaviolenta
What input are you connecting to the keyboard to the rc 202. And can you connect a guitar simultaneously ?
How do you sync these two up?
What would the "TRACK"-button do, while it's green? like here: 8:29
crazy idea - but...hows about putting the looping function into the keyboard.....!!!
I’m considering a looper. I need something with MIDI so that I can incorporate my bass playing alongside my Dawless jams.

do you know how to get different length of sound looped? in example, in track one it's 4sec and in track two its 30sec. I'm not really sure if it's clear my question...
Antonio Padia just record the different loops at different lengths. The first recording to each track determines the length.
Can the rhythm track use preset users patterns from a computer?
Does This thing works on a portable grand piano?
Can you save your loops into the device so you can recall them after you have turned the device off and on again?
yes. 8 banks with 8 presets each. All of them save.
are the drum sounds integrated into the loop station or they come from the Roland/from external samples?
and, if they are from the loop station, are they good? I play synths and I'm looking for an easier and more direct way then Ableton to do music also cause I don't like to use a software during the creative process. Is something like this a good choice?
@@xMDD220697x they are preset patterns. very basic, no drum fx. but you can also record a drum machine or use alongside.
I need to know how they have this set up. I see both input and outputs but no midi. And the synth only has a midi. Audio interface? Mixer?
In this demo the synth and looper are not midi-synched. The length of the first loop he recorded (in time with the 202's inbuilt rhythm track) effectively sets the tempo of the tune, and all subsequent loops are the same length.
Hi Great Vid !
Can I ask if its possible to create multiple loops of the RC 202 that you can chain into a complete song?
Is the 505 better for that ?
Yes. You have total 64 Phrases with each 2 Tracks that you can chain together via MIDI program changes or by hand.
That was rad
this is probably a dumb question but what output on the JP08 is being plugged into what input on the RC202?
I just basically asked the same thing in a comment and seeing a lack of response to you, I'm not hopeful for an answer
@@TwoGunToast I didn't get an answer either and I'm by no means an expert but I think there is a 1/8" to dual 1/4" cable going from the JP08's output to the RC202's inputs. I think I was a little thrown off by the 202's headphone jack and outputs being occupied. Hope this helps!
Why do people do tutorials if they aren't going to answer questions?

Nice T shirt
Did u have to program the drum in or does the looper come with drum loops?
preset drum patterns
Can you add remove overdubs during playback?
only one level of undo/redo per track
d pentatonic scale for the flute )
How the hell can u save the SYSTEM SETS ....I have to configure it anytime I start the unit!!
if u ever find out please tell me i have reverb and compressor maxed out everytime!
@@moshell5249 lol
I need the names of these to buy them from amazon, or any link, please.
Roland JP-08, and then a keybed add on underneath it, and the Boss RC-202 looper.
how much max seconds we have for recording a loop ?
I believe it's one or two measures, so 4 or 8 quarter notes but you can adjust the BPM. Can also just how many measures it records for if I'm not mistaken.
@@TwoGunToast i did 5 minutes i did 10 minutes...i think there are no limit....
@@drouk22 cool, good to know I was just guessing

You can't change the track length after you have recorded it. But you can set others tracks' length if you didn't recorded on them
nice
Please subtitle french vo and english thank you
Do you need Instruments To Use It?, or can you like loop samples
alot of vocalists and beat boxers use it.
You can loop any sound you send to it.
Those jp-08 are way beyond my budget, anyone got a recommendation for a noob? Long time musician, first time looper.
How much are those kits?
667 сори ! Крутая техника!
Does it include drummer？

Still haven't recovered from the disaster that was the RC30...............
Does it really sound that good in person ?
it's as good as the audio you put into it and as good as your recording setup is.
Had to sample that bass line, too bad you can hear clack of pressing the keys. :/
Does it have midi in?
yes midi in and out plus usb midi too
And does it give you the recorded loops back as MIDI out? that would be awesome
Will it cut loops based on tempo provided by a midi clock ?? Basically if I play drum machine loops into it and both the looper and the drum machine are midi clock syncd, will the loops be perfectly cut and loop?
Yes sir they will, i've seen someone doin' it with a Korg Volca Beats and a Korg Volca Bass Synch all of them via Midi
is this going threw a computer too?
DOUG SHELTON JR. no computer needed or connected.
THANKS
Say hello.. hello 😂
What I miss is mute the songs
That latency though
I don't hear latency
I think he just looped imperfectly
Yeah I hear it too. I dont think that's the Looper tho

Two tracks. Another joke in roland history.
