About Phrases and Patches
fig.02-010
A performance using Instruments or other input that is recorded and
saved with the RC-50 is called a “phrase.”
Phrases contain recorded audio that is stored together with other
information, such as the method used for playing back and recording.
With the RC-50, you can switch among three phrases while playing
them back, or even play the three of them simultaneously.
The RC-50 stores up to 99 different sets of settings that determine
how these three phrases are performed.
Each such set of settings is called a “patch.”
To select a patch, turn the PATCH/VALUE dial in the Play screen.
• Switching patches during recording, playback, or overdubbing
begins recording or playback of the patch to which you have
switched.
• Patches can be switched with the RC-50’s pedals.

“Switching Patches with the Pedals (Patch Select Mode)”
(p. 33)
• Patches can be switched with external pedals.

“Setting the Functions for the RC-50’s Pedals and External
Foot Switches (TEMPO/UNDO/CTL1/CTL2/CTL3/CTL4
Pedal Function)” (p. 70)
In order to record a phrase, you need to select the particular phrase
you want to work with.
This selected phrase is called the “current phrase.”
All recording tasks performed with the REC/PLAY/OVERDUB pedal
affect the current phrase.
In addition, the REC/PLAY/OVERDUB pedal indicator shows the
status recording, playing back, or overdubbing for the current phrase.
To select a phrase as the current phrase, press the PHRASE pedal for
the desired phrase (Phrase 1, 2 or 3).
The left (orange) indicator on the PHRASE pedal for the selected
phrase will light.

About Play Modes
The RC-50 features two types of Play modes, “Multi mode” and
“Single mode,” which can used for different purposes. The Play
mode used can be set individually for each patch.
Multi mode allows you to play three phrases at the same time.
You can, for example, save the performances of the bass, drum, and
guitar parts each as separate phrases, and by saving the
performance of a single song as one patch, you can then play back
the parts simultaneously and stop or mute any desired part during
the song as it is playing.

In Multi mode, when recording of one phrase starts, playback of the
other phrases starts at the same time (Simul-Start: p. 50, All Start: p.
61); you can also have all of the phrases stop at the same time (All
Stop: p. 61).
Although you can record performances of differing lengths to each
of the phrases, in Multi mode, you can have multiple phrases play
back repeatedly over the same length of time.
This is called “Loop Sync.“
Playback repeats with measure beginnings aligned at all times,
allowing you, for example, to record various parts (such as drums
and bass) to separate phrases, then perform them as an ensemble.
