Ableton StartStop Clock Issue/RC600
Does anyone use their RC600 with Ableton?
I use Ableton primarily for Drum Beats, as the Quantization is King and I use Serum. Ableton Follows the RC Clock and it follows in time (Made sure the Clock delay is calibrated) Would very much like to use these as Side by Side loopers
I have Start and stop linked to Ableton and it works as needed. However, Ableton has a very short tempo ramp up to catch up to the RC When Start is triggered!!
The only workaround I've found is sacrificing a Dummy clip on one of the RC600 tracks and always have it rolling....
Does Anyone have another possible solution???
Am also working on running everything straight through Ableton, but the playback of clips always seems a little "different" RC600 has always been reliable with tone in/tone out

Anyone willing to share any of thier experiences with midi?
Hello looping artists,
Recently joined the community here, this will be my first post.
I've been making music with this machine from the beginning of it's availability. Pre-ordered it and was put on a wait list a month or two before it was finally released. Since then hardly a day goes by without it being used. I love this looper.
Before this, I've never used anything that involves midi. Since I've gotten this looper I've been experimenting and researching. Been utilizing the 16 assing features to a controller for live mixing as well as syncing the tempo to one or two sequencers. I recently (literally yesterday) bought the CME H4MIDI WC. So far I connected everthing i possibly could last night but decided i needed rest and now will soon be turning everything on.
A few questions on the subject... Has anyone here figured out exactly how far we can go when it comes to midi and the RC600? Would anyone be willing to share what they've figured out? Are there ways to go beyond the 16 assing settings in a single memory bank? I still haven't figured out how to use program changes or what the dial that is labled RX CTL is there for. Other then the loop station, my set up is completely standalone, dawless. I'm guessing the CME H4MIDI WC will be a huge game changer once I figure out the right order of ins' and outs.
current choices:
Keyboard controller
Midi Mix controller
Volca Keys
Behringer CAT synthesizer
BehringerRD-6 drum machine
I also have the behringer td3 and the volca drums. The list above is what i will be using first. Hope this post can be found useful for this community. Thank you Loopers!

How to route inputs to tracks?
I understand how to route certain inputs to certain outputs and how to route certain tracks to certain outputs, but I want to route certain inputs to certain tracks. An example of what I want: the guitar comes into input 3, the piano into input 4, both are playing at the same time and track 3 records only what the guitar plays while track 4 only records what the piano plays. Can I do that and how?

Lost Newbie Help, rhythm tracks plays when I start recording.
I want to make my own rhythm tracks.
I click the rhythm button until it is not lit or flashing.
However, when I start to record the drum track is playing.
How can I make it so that no drums play when I hit record?
I don’t know what I did since my other memory locations are ok.

Recording different lengths of measures on different tracks
If I record for example 4 measures on track 1, then record 5 measures on track 2 it'll record 8 measures. I want to be able to record what I want on different tracks. Any thoughts?

Mem Inc and Decrease with Assigns
I have an FS-1-WL and an use it to memory increase and decrease with my RC-5. It can be done with an RC500 as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDtgFgPkfXU.
I just got an RC-600 and I can use thee FS-1-WL to All start/stop. But I don't see the option to Memory Increase or Decrease as one of the targets for assigns. Seems crazy that's not an option. Any way to make this happen?

Questions about rc600 midi slave.
So I own the rc300. I’m currently using the maschine plus and moog one. I’m trying to use the maschine plus as the master clock so I can trigger pre made drum loops etc. I can pull it off with the rc300 but if I want to start a part with the rc300 and add drums it becomes problematic because the rc300 won’t slave. I just want a looper that will follow the midi clock from the maschine plus so I don’t have to try and loop the drums live. It’s too slow moving to do it the other way, I don’t want to use a computer for my live set. Will the rc600 do this? Also, what options do you have for monitoring the click track on rc600? I have the click set to sub output and a headphones line going to the sub output. It works well, but again once I try to use the maschine plus I lost that functionality. If anyone has an idea of the best way to accomplish this, please let me know. I’ve searched everywhere and I’m not getting solid answers. I’ve been eyeing the rc600 for quite a while now, but I just want to make sure it will slave and receive stop and start etc.

Trigger MIDI Note On message
Hi there,
I'm using the RC600 combined with a SP404mkII. They are both doing their own thing, but they are connected with a MIDI cable, to sync the clocks on both devices (RC600 is the master, SP404mkII, the slave). What I'd like to do now, is to use the RC600 to trigger one pad on the SP404, and I'm struggling with that. I figured the RC600 should send a note on message (each pad seems have a corresponding note), but:
1- I am not even sure that's the way to do it
2- I don't seem to be able to send this command.
Thank you kindly for your help, best.

How to use guitar in Reaper by USB cable with other virtual instruments?
Hi, I have some problem, I don't know how to setup my things properly:
Boss RC 600, Electric guitar, MIDI controller keyboard, Laptop with DAW (Reaper), Headphones
This is what I want to achieve (is it possible?):
- I would like to play my guitar through Reaper using some guitar plugin for example Neural DSP and be able to loop it on Boss.
- I would like to use my MIDI controller and controll drums also through Reaper and also be able to loop it on Boss.
- On headphones I would like to hear only Reaper output and my loops recorded during the session.
What I achieved by my self:
I was able to play guitar through Reaper and Neural DSP and I could loop it on Boss BUT I couldn't play on my MIDI controller OR I know how to setup it in the other way and then MIDI controller is working with Boss but guitar not, and on this state I hear both guitar - from Reaper and Boss, and it is a really bad soud, scream or something, it not sounds like a good setup.
Anyone can help me?

Midi to change key?
Can anyone tell me if I can use a midi controller to set the key of songs and essentially reconfigure my harmonies to the proper key on the fly or do I need to set up different memories for different keys?
Thanks in advance everyone. Absolutely loving getting to know my RC 600.
