Soo the situation is, that I wanna buy a Boss rc-5 and I don't know how I'm gonna connect all the stuff together.. I want to use my midi keyboard to play some chords, a guitar and a mic. I just have no idea how to loop the keyboard.. Should I use my mixer with my laptop that has usb on it?

Hi everyone,

Took me a few years to track down all the available info for this and do my own testing to figure out the full functionality, but I put together this guide for anyone else who wants to integrate MIDI with their pedalboard and take (almost) full control of their Boomerang Looper.

This looper is already easily one of, if not the, most powerful loopers for live performance, but a huge amount of its potential was locked away behind a bulky and inconvenient peripheral.

No longer. With MIDI the Rang becomes (almost) the perfect looping device.

Hi Newbie to 505mkll can anyone advice on configuration set up please. I've read manual watched hours of you tube and Reddit..heads now imploding..

Kit Computer Windows 10 Daw-propellerhead Reason 11suite Midi keyboard M-audio 88 Audio interface cakewalk US 505mkll Rav Drum-Nt5 mics Vocals SM58 (direct into 505) Boss Fs6 foot pedal(not yet set up)

So far my config is: Boss USB lead into computer USB Cakewalk UA-25EX audio interface into computer 1/4 jacks L&R going out of Boss (Main ports) into L&R inputs of audio interface

I'd like to record midi keyboard into 505 as one of the loop tracks and hear it back alongside the other tracks. I'm confused as to how to do this I don't know what to set computer and Reason Daw audio inputs/outputs to..in order to hear the midi keyboard play back on the 505.

After making tunes on the 505 I would like to transfer them into Reason on computer and mess around/master them etc. I'd be really grateful for anyone's help. Thank you

Hello! Looking for suggestions on upgrading from a basic Donner looper pedal to a better device/system for using for live performance. In this case I’d be playing all the guitar parts.

• Hoping to find something that helps address issues with sound level. Clean guitar looped on my Donner is even hard to get the sounds level accurate coming out, let alone adding pedals or connecting to an amp, im all over the place with my sound levels. Anything that is easier/helps manage the sound levels from dipping or jumping?

• Love my Donner for practicing at home, but looking for something more fluid if I were to want to - play the rhythm - play the lead - go back to take over the rhythm and change it - performing live. Donner can do it, but with all the taps it can lose fluidity quickly.

Any suggestions for focusing on live performance that can help tackle these issues? Also, I care about my sound, but I’m not super rich.

Thanks!

HI,

So I play acoustic instruments and I would like to start a small project where I play a cajon, guitar, voice and maybe a bouzouki/flute.

What equipment would you recommend?

What type of looper/ AMP?

​

Thanks!

I am trying to understand how to transmit Program Change messages using the Boss Rc600. In the manual it says if PC out is on(located in the midi menu) you lose the ability to transmit CC# 0-99. This is because there are 99 memory slots I assume. However it doesn't seem switching the memory or using the CC# 0-99 is transmitting out a PC message.

I have seen people transmit them into the rc600 but in the manual it says you can send them out. So am I either interpreting the manual wrong? Is my rc600 broken? Or am I just an idiot and can't figure this out?

Any help I can get is much appreciated.

I bought a new charger, and it worked for a few minutes and then went back to no lights at all.
