Just got a BB a couple of weeks ago and now I would like to update my looper, so I’m thinking of getting a boss rc-600 to go with my BB. Anyone know if there are any synch issues with the BB as the master and the rc-600 or any issues at all?

Check your system real time settings on the Beatbuddy. The RC600 sends out start and stop real time messages. You can set Beatbuddy to ignore them.

I’ve never tried with the RC600 but I would hazard a guess & say it’ll be fine. I sync my BB to a RC5 with the BB as the master & it’s perfect.

I use RC600 and Beatbuddy, but I have the looper as sync master as I find that works best in my application. I have also programmed the looper to issue midi commands to the beatbuddy so that I can start specific drum tracks with recorded loops. The RC600 is a beast … found a few frustrating issues, …

Thanks that’s the info I was looking for as I read that the BB and the RC-500 have some timing issues, and was hoping the the RC-600 did not have the same problems.

I have the RC 600 and I spent the last three days trying to sync it with the beat buddy. Primarily what I’d like to be able to do is run the beat buddy rhythm and then be able to record loops on the RC 600 and have them all synced together. If anyone can give me some tips on settings and/or connecti…

So much depends on the use model for the looper/BB combination, but as I said in above post, I use RC600 as tempo master and connect midi out from looper to BB in via breakout cable. I mostly use looper tracks in single play mode, so match track number to BB rhythm track. My RC600 control assignment…

Nice documentation. Thank you for sharing. I assume that you are running your tracks in sequential mode and maybe have them programed to stop at “end of loop”. If this is correct, you should be able to move from the currently playing (say track 1) to the next desired track (say track2) simply by pre…

Absolutely. And since RC600 assignments are saved per memory you can make them song specific, using specific drum part/track assignment, or next track/previous track programming as the case requires. I typically play loops sequentially in loop mode, with the last track programmed as an outro to play…

This is great information. Thank you sir!

You are welcome. The one big issue you’ll find is the very annoying process that was adopted in the RC600 for assignment programming, especially as midi cc commands are the last entries in a very long list which can only be navigated using the rotary controls. It’s a very lengthy and frustrating pro…
