Hi all,
I need some help as I am pulling my hair out.
I am trying to midi link my BB with the RC5 with the BB being the master.
I have followed all the videos on you tube, followed the instructions to the letter.
I have checked I have the right leads etc.
Nothing works.
One video i saw showed that when you pressed the temp button the word Mids sync came up but I only see the temp.
Please help folks as I am totally lost.

I just tried syncing my BB to an RC-500. It worked without doing anything other than connecting the cables.
Be sure the MIDI to TRS cable is a ‘Type A’. A ‘Type B’ will not work. I got a couple from Sweetwater that do work.

BB - Settings>Main Pedal>MIDI Settings>MIDI-OUT>Sync . Select how/when you want MIDI sync to be sent.
The RC-500 I haven’t fully figured out all the settings, but (RC5 may be slightly different, but close) Menu button>Setup>MIDI>Sync Clock>Auto
I had no idea that 5here is a type A and B. I bought one from Amazon but it must be wrong.
I’ve bought another which is a boss one that I hope works.
Thank you for replying.

The one shown in your link is a female and my BB breakout cable needs a make.
I truly am lost.
I hope the Boss male one is right.
Ian
I have a male to male MIDI cable between the BB breakout cable to the type A cable from Sweetwater. I’m guessing you have the BOSS branded type A cable?
It is arriving Monday so I hope it is the right thing.
