Product information

General

Elaborate loopers used to be quite large and bulky, but no more! The BOSS RC-202 is a handy, compact loop station that's great for gigging musicians. Thanks to its XLR and dual jack connectors, you can hook up a microphone and two instruments or modules, allowing for a wide range of sounds. Furthermore, the RC-202 is easy to operate with your hands in live situations, thanks to its large buttons and clear backlighting. As such, you'll have easy access to all the playback, recording, looping, tempo, sync, and effects features. With the BOSS RC-202 Loop Station, nothing will get in the way of your creativity.

A Sea of Effects with the BOSS RC-202

The RC-202 can record up to 3 hours of audio. To incorporate all these recordings into the most amazing loops, the Loop Station also has a range of excellent effects on board, allowing you to brighten up your parts with a Flanger, Robot, Vocoder, Tremolo, Synth and much more. You can also apply Beat Scatter, Vinyl Flick, Compressor and Reverb to your tracks. You'll find a complete overview of all the effects under the Specifications tab. This looper also has 17 built-in rhythm patterns that can serve as a base for your musical meanderings.

Connecting Up

In order to connect the Loop Station to your computer or other MIDI gear, BOSS has equipped it with MIDI and USB ports. You can even sync it up with the BOSS RC-505, another BOSS RC-202, or a drum machine for even more complex loops. To get even more out of your Loop Station or to make it even easier to control, you can connect the RC-202 to the BOSS FS-5U/-5L, FS-6, FS-7, FV-500H/-500L and/or EV-5. It's time to unleash your creativity with the BOSS RC-202 Loop Station!

Boss RC-202 Loop Station

There are a lot of loopers on the market mainly geared towards guitarists. This is my 2nd Boss rc202 as the first one I bought was sold when I had a clear out. I did look for another one to try out a different brand but in the end bought the rc202 again as nothing I researched had the capability that this one has for desktop looping nor the array of effects that the rc202 possesses. My only regret is not being able to buy the rc505 which I hope to next. I play various instruments and wanted something that could handle multiple instruments at the same time, and that didn't cost a fortune. The rc505 is the better option for this but for my current budget the rc202 is perfectly adequate.

Boss RC-202 Loop Station

Very good product. I notice that this model was hard to get hold of as it does sell out quickly. Very pleased with it - though the manual was a bit sparse and complicated for a newbie like me... however by looking up on the Boss website the RC 505, the manual there is much more detailed. Will enjoy playing with it.

Boss RC-202 Loop Station

Ik wilde de RC202 gebruiken door mijn synth erop aan te sluiten. Dat werkte op het eerste gezicht perfect. Ik vond het ideaal dat er een midi-aansluiting op zit. Helaas had juist dit grote gevolgen voor de kwaliteit van het geluid van de loops. Alsof de loop werd opgedeeld in slices. Dit hoorde je dusdanig goed dat ik 'm heb teruggestuurd. Na onderzoek bleek dit een veel voorkomend probleem. Een oplossing was o.a. het apparaat als master te gebruiken en niet als slave. Maar dat was voor mijn setup absoluut niet handig. Jammer, want ik had 'm erg goed kunnen gebruiken.. Verder werkte 'ie prima trouwens..

Boss RC-202 Loop Station

Fijn apparaat. Redelijk makkelijk uit te zoeken. Ook als je geen muzikaal wonder bent. Op je eigen niveau uitzoeken wat je ermee kan. Makkelijk om de microfoon in te pluggen met gitaar of piano en dergelijke. Met tutorials via het internet gaat het net even wat makkelijker, het boekje wat erbij zit is niet enorm uitgebreid. Oefening baart kunst. Overdubben gaat makkelijk. Lastig dat er geen volume regelaar is per track. De Boss-505 lijkt in sommige dingen wel wat beter uitgewerkt. Ook wat betreft de effect mogelijkheden bij de in en output. Erg tevreden verder.

Boss RC-202 Loop Station

Leuk apparaat. Dankzij Bax weer supersnel leverbaar, nog voordat hij beschikbaar is voor de markt. Hij staat aangesloten op mijn Yamaha Montage 8. De unit past precies op het vrije stuk rechts op de synthesizer, waardoor hij onder handbereik staat. Met een FS-7 pedaal zijn er twee schakel opties onder voetbereik. B gebruik ik voor de default start/record mode en A voor de start/stop all mode, in plaats van de default switch-track mode. Track switchen gaat namelijk ook makkelijk door twee keer snel met de hand op de track-knop te tikken, terwijl je bij live spel je beide handen juist wilt gebruiken voor het slot-akkoord.

Het opnemen gaat goed. Weliswaar slechts in 44,1 Khz 16 bit mode. Lastig is de timing van de eerste ronde. De auto-scale werkt alleen als je met een metronoom/fixed-rhytme werkt. Dat is als stand-alone bij live spelen best lastig en vergt oefening om op het juiste moment de pedaal aan te tikken. Staat de eerste track er eenmaal op is de overdub en volgende track opname een eitje. Er is voldoende geheugen om de eerste track te pre-recorden, maar als live speler doe je dat niet. Je bent immers afhankelijk van het tempo in het moment wat wordt aangegeven door de drummer en niet door een externe klok of sequencer.

In tegenstelling tot wat Bax in de specificaties heeft staan zit er geen vocal harmony op en ook geen volume slider per track. De effecten gebruik ik als toetsenist niet/nauwelijks. Een keer een low-pass-filter is leuk, maar zaken als beat en slice is meer voor gebruik zoals in de demo-video. De vocoder is waardeloos. Deze werkt alleen op een vooraf opgenomen track en niet real-time op de input. En bovendien is het effect ver onder het peil van de vocoder van de Montage.

De bediening is redelijk praktisch. De kast en de knoppen zijn deugdelijk en lijken intens gebruik aan te kunnen. Maar waarom er bezuinigd moest worden op het display met 3 ledjes, waardoor je codes moet opzoeken in een referentie tabel in plaats van dei rechtstreeks uit te lezen is een raadsel. Op het slechts iets duurdere broertje, de 5 kanaals Boss RC-505 zit dat wel. (En ook de volume sliders.)

Eigenlijk had ik, naast de FS-7 switch, er ook nog wel een extra extern-pedaal connector bij willen hebben. Voor een extra switch of om als expressie te gebruiken. Slechts een ingang is wat magertjes voor een apparaat dat er op gericht is om live effecten toe te passen. Dat kan als zanger, maar niet als instrumentalist.

Samenvatting: voor de experimentalist, zoals in de demo-video, een heel leuk apparaat. Voor de live-performer die slechts een paar handen wil vrij maken zijn de ingebouwde effecten relatief overbodig. Misschien voor een gitarist, maar in de Yamaha Montage 8 is dat allemaal veel beter geregeld. Dat maakt de prijs voor het doel waarvoor ik hem gebruik wat aan de hoge kant. Maar een beat-boxer kan met dit handzame en goed bedienbare apparaat een prachtige show neerzetten.
