I got it. I am using USB to midi doggle. I just need to select it as an output on my Android tablet and works great. I also ordered and am using a charge/ date splitter for the USBC jack.

[@patrickploenzke489]

Really that easy. So it wasn't published anywhere that mode 1 is “0“ and mode 3 is “127“? Thats great. Will look for more.

[@richardmalouin9085]

Great video, I have all ready setup somthething similar for my the RC-5 pedal. Looking foward setting this up on my brand new RC_500! Has anyone figure out the numering for rythm patterns? (like the rock1, rock2 etc..)

[@EarleMonroe]

This looks great. I haven’t dipped into TouchOSC, but I know lots of folks who use it in Ableton Live. Abelton is where I’ve done my looping so far, but I’ve been thinking about jumping on board the Boss RC 600. If I do this set up seems like a must

[@RossGallagherMusic]

I hope you find it helpful. I'm not sure if anyone else currently uses it in a live setting, but hopefully, there are people out there making use of it. Best of luck!

[@EarleMonroe]

@@RossGallagherMusic After your video the KZbin algo served me up another of somebody using Touch OSC with the RC 600. I didn’t watch all of that one yet, but there’s at least one other person ;-) using it like you

[@bknorp]

Your videos have been incredibly helpful! One question : when I go through my midi targets, I don’t see an option for “mic in mute”. I can access the levels for mic 1/2. For the instruments, I do have the option for both levels and mute. I suspect this may be because of some other parameter I have said differently, but if you have any ideas I would appreciate that! 16:56

[@bknorp]

And now I found it haha

[@leeklett2194]

Hi! I'm new to the RC600 and using a midi controller, your videos have been a great help! I took your template and made it my own, and over the last week I've been deconstructing it, as my hands are full while I'm playing a song, some functions are of no use to me. That said, I would really love to add that cymbal crash to my all start/stop pedal. It doesn't use an assign on the Touch OSC and it's something I'd love to use even if I didn't have my ipad with me. Any help would be greatly appreciated my friend!

[@MusicalBasics]

This is great. I was under the impression the RC 600 only has 16 MIDI assigns but you’re doing way more, am I misinformed?

[@RossGallagherMusic]

I'm glad you like it. You're absolutely correct. There are only 16 assigns you can use, and I'm using them to send the CC messages. The template also sends program changes and note messages too, which don't take up any assigns. Hope this makes sense. Ross

[@music_by_adam]

I’m with you! I still don’t know how to use my Assigns, but I’m digging this midi panel! 🎉

[@rc600editor]

Top man!

[@RossGallagherMusic]

You the man!

[@patrickploenzke489]

Question about Touch OSC: Thank you for your work on the template. As Im learning Touch OSC I notice in your drum kit buttons have two trigger boxs layered over each other with different notes assigned. Can your explain function of this? Sorry if I missed it in the video.

[@RossGallagherMusic]

Thanks for the question. There should only be one note message for each of the percussion boxes. Could the second layer just be the title of the box perhaps?

[@patrickploenzke489]

K they are just copy and paste boxs left under. Will pay attention to that as I am building mine. Thank you Ross.

[@RossGallagherMusic]

@patrickploenzke489 well spotted! You're most welcome, and best of luck!

[@patrickploenzke489]

What? How did you figure out you could use one assign for "Mode" and "Variation". I don't see that at all in the parameter guide at all. Curious if there are any others that could be grouped like that to save assigns.

[@RossGallagherMusic]

The beauty of MIDI! Because the values work from 0-127, there are many parameters that can be controlled by using a division of those digits. For example, if you find an adjustable parameter with 12 different options, every 10 or so values will control a different aspect of that parameter, e.g., 0-10 will select a certain controller, 11-20 another, etc. Hope this makes sense! Ross

[@finemusician4770]

Ross first off you deserve an award for user interface layout. It is a thing of beauty! But I am little confused about what you do on Memory 65 at about the midway point. Are these system settings? If you switch from another memory location (say Song #25 for instance) over to 65 during a set, will you lose all your settings you had on #25?

[@RossGallagherMusic]

Many thanks for your kind words! I'm glad you like the layout, and I hope you find it useful. I selected memory 65 just because it was a blank memory on my unit, and I was able to set things up for the demonstration, no other reason at all. You can make your assigns system settings in a couple of ways; you could save a memory as a template, like the one I have on memory 65, and then copy that across to each memory you wish to use in the same way, or use the RC Editor which you can download and install on a desktop. Plus you'll ve able to do many more things with that to make your life much easier. Then, just make sure you save your settings after making changes. If you're playing a set and switch to the next song, you will lose the track recordings, but all of the other settings will still be there as long as they were saved in th first place. A simple solution for this would be to have a 'Memory Write' button on your unit, which you can push at the end of each song. Then your recorded loops will be saved if you want to keep them. Hope this helps! Ross

[@joachimfischer2849]

Hello Ross, just found your video; great application! I have a rc 500 can I also use the application you have done ! Regards Jo

[@RossGallagherMusic]

Hi Jo, as long as the unit can send and receive MIDI, I have no reason to believe why you wouldn't be able to use TouchOSC to control various parameters within it. I believe the RC500 MIDI input and output are TRS, which means you will likely need to run a 3.5mm TRS connection between the RC500 and some kind of MIDI hub to make the connection between your preferred device and the RC500. Hope this helps. Ross

[@peterszikszai4678]

Great video and thank you for the template, it helped a lot to understand how the app works. I have 2 questions: Is there any possibility to set the osc to read the memories of rc 600? I will use it for mixer - guitar-inst L, mic1, mic2, track1, track2, track3, loop and master. In case of system settings it's whatever because mic1,2, guit and master will be used at the same levels through the whole performance and if I feel I need a little extra of one of them just turn up or down the volume, but in case of tracks it's possible that I pre-recorded loops and I set them to memory differently like track 1 to 60 (cause I know it's a louder loop) and track 3 to 120 (because it was not loud enough) but it's possible that through the gig I will feel that I need a little more than 60 but if in the touch osc the preset value is 100 and when I touch the volume it will start from 100 and it's a lot louder then 60. Or should I rather set value to relative in case of these potmeters and then it's fine? 2. question: is it possible to set touch osc to show the values? I set now to use 15 grades and I set rc 600 0-150 in this case it's quite ease to see where is it but it would be so great to see the exact values:) But without it this software is amazing! You are so cool to teach us how to make are life easier! ú

[@peterszikszai4678]

Ok I make it simple. How can i set receive port to TouchOSC that would solve my problems :)

[@RossGallagherMusic]

Thanks for your message Peter, and I'm glad you're making use of the template. To answer your question, I'm not entirely sure I'm afraid. I don't use TouchOSC too much at the moment, only to turn on or off a few basic settings, but there is a very knowledgeable chap I've spoken to in the past who knows a lot about it. If you check out my TouchOSC post in the FB group and look for a guy named Kostas, he may be able to provide you with some information that could help. All the best, Ross

[@coloradodv]

How do we setup the Touch OSC to be the receive channel?

[@peterszikszai4678]

Did you get the answer? That's what i really want to know too!:)

[@deenjaymusic]

Hello there, Thank you fro your content. There are two apps. TouchOSC Mk1 or TouchOSC? Which app?

[@RossGallagherMusic]

MK2 would be your best bet, and the one that I've used.

[@synd0gg]

hi Ross thanks for the vid , just wondering if there's a way to Reset the volume fader Back to 100 once its reached zero. cheers in advance

[@finemusician4770]

Same question...looks like it might take some OSC programming?

[@dunelmtinker4758]

Have just worked this out. I’ve added a fader and used assign 16 to make it a “Loop volume” fader. Stuck it at the bottom under single/multi buttons over Ross’ label 😮. Sorry Ross, I needed the real estate 😅

[@adilbaagxx1912]

I have a question, somehow the drum sounds (bass, snare.etc) doesn't seems to recording. Can you helpme out with this?

Have you changed the rhythm output to 'loop', so that it can ve recorded to your tracks?

Hello Ross. Is their a wired option to connect Android device to RC600. I attempted to connect to it and with no luck. I tried my USB to Midi with a USBC adapter to device to the Midi connectors, and plugging in direct to USB on RC-600 and neither worked.

[@RossGallagherMusic]

Great question; not something I've tried myself to be honest. Perhaps there is an app you could download from the Play Store that will allow you to send MIDI commands over USB. I use Midimittr on IOS, but something similar on Android should do the trick. Hope this helps.

[@hauluck]

Hey Ross, great video, as always. A qq, please, is it possible to use RC editor for the midi settings in the 600? Thanks

[@RossGallagherMusic]

Thanks so much for the comment, and I'm glad you're getting value from the content. You can indeed access the RC-600 MIDI settings within the Editor!

[@johnjohnson2406]

Love your TOSC template, Ross. Have connectivity from TOSC to the RC-600, and can get the Percussion to "sound off", but nothing else is working. What setup (Assigns, etc) do I need to perform on the RC-600 to get your template to work as it was designed?

[@RossGallagherMusic]

Thanks so much for your comment and your kind words. I'm really glad you're getting some from the content and have decided to make use out of the template. Have you watched how I set up the assigns at around 15 minutes into the video? This should hopefully get things working for you. Ross

[@jmartarano]

Great stuff Ross! Question , I am attempting to connect my ipad via usb/lightning cable to the RC600. Is there any setting on the Rc600 that needs to be tweaked in midi. Right now , doesn't look like it's connecting

[@RossGallagherMusic]

Head over to the MIDi settings under MENU, and make sure you have USB turned on. By default, I think the MIDI is sent via the MIDI input and I changed mine to MIDI and USB. Hope this helps. Ross

[@LIorBenHurMusic]

Amazing template, thank you so much! A question - do you know how make changes on the devise apply (send) to the touch OSC? Is there a way to have it work both ways?

[@RossGallagherMusic]

Thank you very much. TouchOSC can also receive MIDI commands from the RC-600, if that's what you mean. You can set up CC messages to be sent from the RC in the assigns, which works great.

Hi Ross you are great. Any thoughts on why my download won't open - I've downloaded Touchosc editor for Mac and my Mac is V13.4? I so don't want to re do all the work you did and yes I will buy you coffee ... several

[@user-we8yy4mx1r]

Love it, the idea of control while standing is a dream come true. Need your input on getting your OSC to my iPad. I did send the free download to my Files folder. After I buy you a cup of coffee what am I going to need to do ( or receive from you)? Is this osc in need of an iOS connector?

[@user-we8yy4mx1r]

…. I realize my wording implies that I’m looking for free stuff but I’m just being a cautious buyer, is all.

[@RossGallagherMusic]

Thanks for the comment, and it is indeed a great tool to have! So, if you're using an iPad, you'll need to download the TouchOSC app from the App Store. The MK2 version will likely work best and its around $12 I believe. Once you have this installed, you can just open up my file and it will load into Touch OSC. In order for this to work wirelessly with the RC-600, you'll need a wireless MIDI connector, or you could connect via USB with a lighting to USB adapter. Hope this helps. Ross

[@RossGallagherMusic]

@@user-we8yy4mx1r no problem at all. Hope we can get it all working for you. Ross

[@coloradodv]

I cannot get this to work. I have an xviv bt midi - and do not see the settings for OSC in the video, I bought it everything, and RC600 edit to setup, but it only changes the memory, and nothing else. What am I missing?

[@coloradodv]

I tried USB, and a USB midi controller. I have the midi channel at 7, and setup each assign.

[@RossGallagherMusic]

If it's only changing the memory, this is because it will be setup as a program change (PC). The RC-600 switches between memories when a PC message is being sent. You will need to send a control change (CC) message to target specific parameters within the RC, and ensure an assign has been set up within the unit, to tell the RC what it is you would like it to do. Best of luck!

[@coloradodv]

Thanks Ross. Is that a setting in the Boss. I see the PC switch in the preferences

[@coloradodv]

I figured it out - I did not have the assign on!
