Example of Actual Loop Recording
Let’s try loop-recording the following simple 8-beat phrase of vocal percussion (using your voice to imitate the sounds of a
drum set) via a microphone.
Bass drum
Dun!
Snare drum
Pah!
Hi-hat
Chi!
Preparations
1.
Connect your microphone, and adjust the input level (“Adjusting the Input Level” (p. 6)).
2.
Select an empty phrase memory (one for which the [TRACK] button is unlit for all tracks) (p. 5).
Available tracks for recording/overdub
Recording/overdub can be performed on only one track at a time.
For example, if all tracks in the phrase memory are empty, and you’re recording track 1, pressing the track 2 [
p / t ] button
will switch track 1 to playback, and recording will occur on track 2.

During playback, select the phrase
memory that you want to hear
(p. 5).
When playback ends, the phrase memory
you selected during playback will play.
Applying effects during recording or playback
The RC-202 lets you turn effects on/off during recording or playback, and control the effects in real time.
For example if you turn on the track FX FILTER, you can then turn the [TRACK FX] knob to vary the cutoff
frequency.
