Parameter Value Explanation
Memory:MIDI Sync
INTERNAL
Synchronizing the Tempo of Two RC-300 Units (MIDI
Sync)
Two RC-300 units can be synchronized after connecting them together using a MIDI cable. For details, refer to
“Connecting Two RC-300 Units” (p. 39). The “MIDI Sync” setting allows two RC-300 units to play back in synchronization
at the same tempo.
RC-300 (Master unit) RC-300 (Slave unit)

Reference
For more detailed information about MIDI and synchronization, refer to “MIDI settings” (p. 38).
INTERNAL
This RC-300 unit will operate at its own specified phrase memory tempo. Choose the
“INTERNAL” setting if you’re using the RC-300 by itself, or if this is the master RC-300 unit.
MIDI
This RC-300 unit will synchronize to MIDI data received from the master RC-300 unit.
Choose the “MIDI” setting for the slave RC-300 unit.
Memory:Overdub
Mode OVERDUB
Setting the Overdubbing Method (Overdubbing Mode)
You can set the overdubbing method.
OVERDUB
The new performance is layered onto the prerecorded tracks. If overdubbing is repeated,
the next performance is layered on top of the previous material, allowing you to create an
ensemble in a single track.
REPLACE
Tracks with existing recordings are overwritten as new tracks are recorded over them.
Overwriting takes places while the previously recorded tracks are played back, allowing you
to achieve a kind of delay effect similar to that obtained from an effects processor.
Memory:Rec Mode
STEREO
Switching Between Stereo and Mono (Recording Mode)
Before you record, you must specify whether you’re recording in stereo or in mono.
• The recordable time is not affected by the stereo/mono setting (choosing mono will not increase the recordable time).
• You can’t change the stereo/mono setting of a phrase memory once you’ve recorded it.
STEREO Recording will take place in stereo.
MONO Recording will take place in mono.
Memory:Tempo
120.0
Specifying a Phrase Memory’s Tempo
Each phrase memory has a “phrase memory tempo,” which applies to the entire phrase memory.
The phrase memory tempo is also the tempo of the rhythm (p. 25).
40.0–250.0
Setting the tempo
Press the [ ] /[ ] buttons to move the cursor to the digit you want to change, then turn
the [MEMORY/VALUE] knob to adjust the phrase memory tempo.
MEMO
Normally, the [ ]/[ ] buttons are used to select parameters, but in the tempo
screen they are used to move the cursor. When the cursor is located at the far right,
pressing the [
] button once again will take you to the next parameter.
Using the [TAP TEMPO] button to set the tempo
Press the [TAP TEMPO] button several times in rhythm with the desired tempo.
The tempo will be set so it matches the timing you’ve used when pressing the button.
Using the [STOP] pedal to set the tempo
You can also set the tempo by pressing the [STOP] pedal several times in succession.
Memory:Fade Out
Time 50
Adjusting the Time Used to Fade Out (Fade-Out Time)
This specifies the fade-out time used when a track’s stop mode (p. 17) is set to “FADE OUT.”
0–100 This is the fade-out time. At a setting of “100,” the fade-out time will be 20 seconds.
