The BEST settings on the RC-505 mk2 

I can confirm, once I begun using assignments in my tracks, the game changed. A lot of my drops were Possible with just manual input, but I’d more often than not mess them up. With the assignments, not only could I guarentee I’d execute them 100% of the time, I could Also make drops which simply wouldn’t have been possible without assignments. I’m not finished this vid yet, but one tip I can give If you’re using assignements on mk2 only, and assign them to a track button, go yhe CTL FUNC (next to assign settings), and set it to LED mode (very last option). This allows you to colour code your assignments to more easily remeber what option does what

Fun fact. If you have an MK1. Just with assigns you can actually make it your midi controller for the MK2.

Thanks for this tutorial! 🙏

😊😊 thank you so much for all these videos, very helpful very very helpful I really appreciate it.

please keep up making these tutorials! much love! #howto #setup #rc505 🖤

Dude this is amazing, thanks a looot!

The best tutorial.

Great explanation thank you

Fantastic! Is there a cc to mute incoming audio (ideally at the end of the loop recording)?

The parameter guide is also helpful : D

Is it possible to plug in some kind of bluetooth transmitter to the output jack so you can hear on wireless earphones?

Hey Arthur! Thank you for posting this video. If I'm using the MIDI out on the RC 505 MK2 for time syncing other devices, Will the blackstar pedal affect the midi clock signal leaving the RC 505 going into the other device's midi in? Thanks!

Great tips. More please, Thank you.

So strange for Boss to not be able to explain this…. But thanks for walking us through

Really good video! So if I have a midi device like a launchpad, I would configure what each key in the launchpad would do by using assigns? Or people do it in some other way? Cause I see people using launchpads and doing way more stuff than it would be possible with only 16 assigns.

Nice use of pedal, you turned it into floor version RC505

I have been trying to assign knob 1 to mute the external mic for a couple hours now and i can’t get it to work so far at all. I’m going into seemingly all the correct settings then writing it to the memory but nothing. Very frustrating shit ! I don’t want to have to menu dive to turn down the mic , i just want it off immediately when i need that.

Hey Arthur thanks for the videos mate! I just upgraded from the original RC505 and I'm having a hard time to assign this MK2 to the same Foot Controler I was using perfectly before, the Beringher FCB1010. Do you know where can I find more infos about the CC msgs and how to proper make this Midi controler works on the MK2? any help would be much appreciated, obrigado :)

hello @LoopArtist Arthur! Please help me, I can't fix the problem for more than a week. I connect a MIDI keyboard to the loop station. In the settings of the USB I put "LINE OUT" - the loop station records only the microphone, the sounds of the keyboard are in the headphones, but the loop station does not record them(((. With the "LOOP IN" settings - the MIDI keyboard is already recorded but records all the sounds from the PC and the looping effects of the station are also overlaid on the audio in the video. I tried to set the "INPUT LEVEL" from 100% to 0%, but it just completely turns off the sound from the PC and if i need to select the sound of the instrument in Ableton, then i need to turn it on again. also noticed that if I casually record some sound from my PC to the loopstation, while recording music, some micro-whistles appear in the entire track and I need to reboot the loopstation ((( please help ❤

Just a quick correction, the expression pedal you have demod has a TR cable, not a TRS.

Hi I just got the MK2 but there is no driver for Mac Os 10.13 High Sierra only for 10.15 Catalina and above do you know how to connect to the 10.13 or is it not supported thanks

Hi Arthur, Under the assign button i don't have the on/off options like you show on the screen. How its possible? 😢 I need help! 🙂🙏🏻

I have 505 mk2 . I play cajon . So while I press rec button on track 1 and take my hands back to play cajon and when I stop playing cajon and press stop button . The gap between pressing the play and rec button and hands back on cajon . There is a gap . Which is also a part of loop . I am not getting a perfect seamless loop

can effects be assigned to faders?

I have two problems with the metronome: 1) I can't regulate the volume of the metronome. 2) In the settings i rooted metronome on headphones only, but when i record the sound on my laptop through the USB cable, metronome recording as well. Do you have any solutions? Thank you!

Hey Arthur, thanks for the help you have given me. What would be your solution to quickly turn the microphone on/off. its fine to have all my other instruments always on, but the mics give feedback and or bleed. What would you suggest for MIC ON, MIC OFF.

Yeah this is great ;)

Arthur could you cover track and loop settings? Thanks

Is it possible to set reverse and halfspeed on effects in some simple way? I want to record a track and have it reverse and halfspeed. Moeer Ocean can do it by default, but it can't synchronize the loop, that's why I'm thinking about the 505

Yo, Urgent question: When I change the Memory my Assign Settings are changed back to standard. How can I save the Assign settings for all Memories?

You're just the shithead I was looking for! Do you have any ideas how to make a footpedal with arduino board? Thanks for the video! I'm about to buy one of these 505s

hi there. Im a complete newb to this but I hope somebody can help me out.. I recently got an mk2 and i am connecting it to my mac pro via usb. I am using OBS studio to record the sound coming from the mk2. Now here is the question.... I have noticed that in the finished recording I can hear the rhythm sound aswell. I have tried to find solutions but nothing is working for me.... To clarify all Ive done is add an extra audio source in OBS studio and chose Boss RC 505 MK2... Could somebody please explain to me as simple as possible what I need to do so that I dont hear that rhythm sound in the recording anymore .... I would be so so grateful!!! many many thanks

Have just bought a RC 505 MK2. The OLED screen does not seen consistent. The edges of the screen are lighter than the centre area. I have adjusted the contrast and still differences. Are there others with this type of fault with their screen? Or, is this normal?

foot controller different than exp ped

How Arthur, How can I set up a rec count easily?

best settings?
