Using the BOSS RC - 5 loop station pedal is a breeze. First, connect your audio source to the INPUT A/MONO or B jacks. You can start recording your loops right away. Use the backlit LCD to see what's going on with your loops and to change settings. To play around with different rhythms, just choose from the 57 preset rhythms or one of the seven drum kits.
When it comes to external control, you can connect footswitches, an expression pedal, or use MIDI to expand the pedal's functions. The USB port allows you to back up and load WAV loops, so you can save your favorite phrases.
Here are some important notes. Always use a 9V alkaline battery (6LR61 or 6LF22) for power. When connecting the MIDI cables, make sure to use the stereo miniature jacks. If you need to use the mini TRS jacks for MIDI I/O, you'll need to get the BMIDI - 5 - 35 adaptor cable separately.
For maintenance, keep the pedal in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you're not using it for a long time, remove the battery to prevent leakage. With proper use and care, your BOSS RC - 5 will serve you well for a long time.
