Recording and Performing Along with the Guide
The RC-2 has a built-in guide that can be used as a
rhythmic accompaniment during recording, playback,
and overdubbing. A variety of guide patterns are pro-
vided, covering many different musical styles.
* The guide does not play during phrase recording if the tempo
is not set ahead of time.
However, since the tempo is set automatically once the
recording is finished, the guide is then played during
playback.
• The guide begins to play when the MODE knob is set
to GUIDE 4/4 or GUIDE .
• You can adjust the volume level of the guide sound
with the GUIDE LEVEL knob.
If you don’t want to hear the guide sound, set the
GUIDE LEVEL knob to MIN.
• To change the guide pattern, set the MODE knob to
and press the SELECT/ENTER button.
The guide pattern switches each time you press the SE-
LECT/ENTER button (“Guide Pattern List”; p. 37).
• When the pedal is pressed while the MODE knob is set to the
GUIDE 4/4 or , the RC-2 switches back to the
immediately preceding beat or pattern in the sequence.
• When the guide pattern is changed on an empty phrase
track (for which no tempo has been set), the tempo
changes to the default stored with the pattern.
• The guide sound stops when the MODE knob is turned
to any position other than GUIDE while playback or
recording is stopped.
• When the MODE knob is turned to the GUIDE 4/4 or
during playback or overdubbing, the performance
stops and only the guide sound plays.
* When a phrase is saved (p. 32), the currently selected guide
pattern is saved along with the recorded phrase.
