Perform at the speed of inspiration
Combining song-based looping and organic beats in a compact package, the RC-10R brings fresh inspiration to live performances, songwriting sessions and everyday practice. This new generation of Loop Station is a real-time creation machine, allowing you to develop spontaneous music that moves and grooves with two unique song sections, intros/outroes and rhythm fills. Onboard controls and visual loop indicators allow for simple, standalone operation, while extensive control is possible with external and MIDI switches. An extensive library of rhythms is at your disposal to cover almost any music genre, and you can even import your own rhythms to customize the RC-10R for specific songs and styles.
Next Generation Loop Station for Modern Song Artists
BOSS's renowned Loop Station products are the world's leading loops, with a wide range of models that meet the unique creative needs of all types of musicians. The RC-10R introduces a new generation of Loop Station that draws inspiration from the hard-hitting beats of the most popular modern artists, with song-style loops. Designed for on-the-fly music creation, the RC-10R gives guitarists and singer-songwriters a unique, fluid tool for developing ideas and making onstage performances more dynamic and compelling.
A song-based looper and smart drum machine, all in one
The RC-10R brings together loops and rhythms in the most sophisticated and interactive way possible. Unlike the more basic guide rhythms of other Loop Stations, each of the RC-10R's rhythms have complete song structures with separate parts. The two-track loop engine works in series and is perfectly synchronized to the beat, allowing you to capture independent song sections with their own unique rhythm backing. Two fill variations bring natural energy when transitioning between sections, while introductory and ending fills allow you to begin and end pieces organically.
Extensive control for experienced users
With its interactive displays and multifunction controls, the RC-10R is a self-contained powerhouse. But some users want even more control, and the RC-10R delivers even more. For starters, there's a jack for connecting up to two pedals or an expression pedal, allowing extensive control of stop, undo/redo, loop volume and more. Going further, full MIDI I/O is provided on space-saving TRS mini-jacks, opening up a host of direct access functions and sync options with other MIDI devices.
