Performing While Listening to the Rhythm Sound—About the Guide
When recording phrases with the RC-50, it can convenient to use the
guide, which can be used like a metronome.
The guide features numerous pre-programmed rhythm sounds with
drums and percussion in a variety of time signatures, so you can use
it not just as a metronome but also as a simple rhythm machine to
provide backing rhythm.
Additionally, by setting the tempo and guide beat before recording
and then recording in time with the guide, you can record looped
phrases at the correct length (Loop Quantize; p. 42).
The following provides a description of guide settings.
Guide settings are saved to each patch individually.
The guide sound starts automatically when you begin recording or
playback of a phrase.
The guide automatically stops when recording, playback, or
overdubbing of all phrases (1–3) is finished.
You can also press [GUIDE START/STOP] to manually start the
guide when recording or playback is stopped, or stop the guide
when the performance is in progress.
If there is no need to start automatically, set the Guide Level
(next section) to OFF.
You can adjust the volume level of the guide sound with the GUIDE
LEVEL knob.
No guide sound is played when the GUIDE LEVEL knob is turned
completely to the left (set to OFF).
