Boss RC-202 Loop Station Boss RC-202 Loop Station: Fingertip Looping for Progressive Music Creators Perfect for club performers, electronic musicians, and beatboxers, the RC-202 packs powerful BOSS looping and multi-effects in an amazingly compact tabletop unit. Based on the popular RC-505 Loop Station, the two-track RC-202 offers the distinctive look and fingertip interface style of its big brother, plus a host of new features. Four Input FX and four Track FX are available at once, and loops can be saved to memories in real time for seamless creative expression while performing. Expanded foot control and MIDI capabilities are also included, ideal for looping musicians who have their hands occupied with guitar, keyboards, and other instruments. Advanced Technology in a Compact Looper The RC-202 features advanced BOSS technology in a compact tabletop looper that can be operated with your hands. It offers two simultaneous stereo phrase tracks with dedicated controls and loop status indicators, making it easy to create and manage your loops. The unit includes four Input FX and four Track FX that are simultaneously available for processing loops with DJ and sampler-style effects. Extensive Phrase Memories and Real-Time Control With 64 phrase memories (8 memories x 8 banks), the RC-202 allows you to store and recall your live loop creations easily. Each memory contains two phrase tracks, custom effects/playback settings, and more. You can save your loops to the current phrase memory without stopping playback, enabling seamless performance transitions and evolving arrangements. Intensive FX for Creative Looping Equipped with powerful multi-effects capabilities, the RC-202 offers more real-time processing than any other looper. As you record, you can enhance the sound with Input FX like P. Shift, Lo-Fi, Ring Mod, and more. Track FX such as Beat, Filter, Slicer, and others provide high-impact processing during playback. The effects can be quickly adjusted with large, easy-to-grab knobs and turned on/off via dedicated panel buttons. Powerful Performance Control and Connectivity The RC-202's panel is filled with hands-on buttons and knobs for maximum creative control while looping. There's also a jack for connecting up to two footswitches or an expression pedal. Via MIDI, extensive control is possible from a MIDI foot controller or keyboard. MIDI also allows for synchronization with an RC-505 or a second RC-202, as well as drum machines and other devices. Versatile Audio Connections and USB Integration The RC-202 is outfitted with an XLR mic input, mono/stereo instrument inputs, and a stereo aux input. All inputs can be used at once, letting you capture and mix multiple audio sources as you build loops. You can send a click track to headphones only, a great feature for monitoring while performing. Via USB, you can plug into your computer to archive WAV loops or load up RC-202 phrases with live backing tracks or sounds for sampler-style triggering. The RC-202 also functions as a USB audio/MIDI interface, making it easy to integrate with music software for stage performing with a laptop, audio recording, MIDI sync, and more.
