Setting Up RC 300 to record and playback in Verse/Chorus/Bridge Style



I want to show you how to set up the RC 300 Loopstation so that you can record 3 independent sections, like a verse, chorus and bridge. They can play continuously, independently from each other or in series at your command. 

To do this I programmed and recorded the rhythm and bass parts to the song Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen, which i will be singing and playing guitar over in a live venue.

Out-of-the-box the RC 300 will let you record up to 3 single tracks that can be played all together, or isolated from each other to play in series.

To record in series mode- which is what I needed- we need go into the system parameters that allows only one of the tracks to play at a time- for example a verse, chorus and bridge.

Also, you may want to set it up so that while a track is still playing the verse, for example, that you can push another footswitch to trigger the chorus and it won’t jump right into it, but will start playing when the verse phrase is finished.
