RC-500 Loop Station : Bad MIDI implementation

3 years ago

Be aware that MIDI is not working as it should.

The Boss RC-500 is supposed to respond to CC# midi commands, you can assign up to 8 commands.

Unfortunately, the BOSS RC-500 will not easily react to Control Change sent with a MIDI pedalboard (like a Behringer FCB 1010).

It needs a high AND a low signal to function ( a Control Chain with a value of 127 and then a CC with with a value of 0)

That's the workaround that people have found but you ALSO need to double-tap for that to work.

It's a pain...
