Share or publish the results of any benchmarking of the Software without Roland’s prior written consent; Also, the RC-5 has tons more control over how the loops function, how the display looks and functions, etc. It's surprisingly versatile and customizable. I've dug into some of the settings... Boss provides a QR code video link, but their tutorial barely scratches the surface. There are some YouTube videos that go into way more depth and have really helped me learn how to navigate the sub-menus more efficiently. But, don't get me wrong; it's pretty easy to master the basic functions within just a few minutes, if that's all you want to do.

While the RC-1 is a great pedal, it’s bare-bones compared to the RC-3. Being able to save up to 99 recordings on your pedal will be worth the extra price for most guitarists.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction. If You obtained the Software directly from Roland, then the governing law and jurisdiction of the state of California apply without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. This Section 11.4 does not deprive You of the protection afforded to You by the provisions of mandatory consumer protections laws that are applicable to You, nor does it prevent you from seeking remedies or enforcing your rights as a consumer under such laws. Chief among its feature set is a 4.3” touchscreen, as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, expression pedal support and SD card compatibility. Perhaps most impressive is the ability to create a ridonkulous 36 loops per song – with unlimited overdubs per loop – making this a solo loop performer’s dream. If you’re a live performer looking for a solid range of features, the choice is tough between the RC-5 and other units such as the RC-10R, RC-30, or RC-500. BOSS RC-3 vs RC-5 It goes without saying that you have to be pretty serious about looping to consider the Aeros – but few units can match its mind-boggling feature set.

You can rotate it and enter all the different menus for adjusting your rhythm, which includes ‘Reverb’, ‘Pattern’, ‘Variation’, ‘Kit’, and a few more like ‘Variation Change’, ‘Beat’, and ‘Start’. You can record different chord progressions and practice improvising over them and have them ready at every practice session. With 57 preset rhythms and seven different drum kits, the RC-5 is ready to elevate loop and practice sessions with inspiring grooves for any style. For each rhythm, A/B variations can be selected from the panel or controlled via MIDI while performing. The RC-5’s looper engine also includes a cool reverse function that’s great for infusing your music with fresh sonic colours. Capture, Practice &Perform

The first thing to point out is that the RC-3 was released in 2011, so it is nine years older than the RC-5.On the other hand, if you’re a live performer and plan on heavily using loops in your performances, it’s worth considering the RC-30. Running two synchronized loops at the same time gives you a lot more freedom when building layers and starting/stopping parts. Here’s what my signal chain currently looks like with the pedals I have now – notice the RC-5 Loop Station on the end Having one footswitch means you need to memorize how to control the loop. Fortunately, the RC-1 has the basic functions written on the pedal. You tap the footswitch to start recording, then tap it again to enter into overdub mode. The basic idea is that you can play an entire verse-chorus style song from start to finish using this pedal to build your loops and play rhythm parts.

Create or permit others to create Internet "links" to the Software or "frame" or "mirror" the Software on any other server, wireless or Internet-based device; If you’re looking for a simple looper and you don’t need the extra features in the other loop station models, compare this pedal against the RC-3 and RC-5 to decide which is right for you. While it may cost more to have two separate pedals instead of the RC-10R, you will end up with a far better rig suitable for performances. On the other hand, I haven’t been able to figure out what the additional settings mean, ie, Start Immediate, Stop Immediate, Fade Time, and Measure Free. I changed them to other settings and I didn’t notice a difference. But I digress, let’s look at one last thing.
