Main Features
Welcome to the Loop Station!
The RC-30 is a pedal-type recorder that lets you record audio phrases from your guitar or vocal etc., and play them back
by operating the pedal. You can create a wide variety of performances by layering sound while you record and carry
out play back in real time.
• Up to 99 different loop phrases can be saved in phrase memory, for a total of approximately 3 hours (* total for all
phrases).
• Multi-track recording allows a wide range of performance possibilities.
• You can input audio in stereo.
• In addition to guitar input, a MIC jack and AUX IN jack are also provided. You can connect a microphone and loop-
record your voice, or record sound from your digital audio player.
• Recorded phrases can be copied via USB to your computer, or WAV files from your computer can be loaded into the
RC-30 and played back as loops (p. 14).
• You can apply an effect that is synchronized with the tempo of a phrase while you play it back (p. 14).
