Tutorials like this are great! Especially for newer loopers :)

[@UnhingedBbx]

Assigns in my opinion are the MOST important thing to use on your way to mastering the mk2!!! So newer loopers really need to try these out! Great video esuoh you couldn't of covered it better ❤

[@Sm0_0thii]

My brain just BROKE I didn’t know any of this what the fuck this thingy has like 100x options than I thought it did thank you thank you thank you

[@yashkiran8329]

Great initiative bro! This will be huge for people who have zero knowledge in assigns.

THE LEGEND MADE A TUTORIAL 😳😳😳 Edit: Bro, I was with you on Ben Beat's Server. Your stuff is crazy good 🔥🔥🔥

[@totallyabsolutelynotmateo]

i’ve needed this for so long, i’ve been getting bored of orange and green 😭 the functionality of this machine is actually insane

[@maniac_zulu6401]

FINALLY SOMEONE DOES SOME TUTORIALS WITH THE MK2 THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@UncleMike-bs5xj]

Thank You for your help! it has helped me grow

[@ROBbYZ_Music]

How many tutorials are you planning to make? 🤔 Will you make any Sound Design and Mixing Tutorials?

[@MrEsuoh]

There is no current list of how many, but if that's what you want to see, I can do it!

[@ROBbYZ_Music]

@@MrEsuoh Bro, I would LOVE to see a series of sound design tutorials for mk2, especially from you

[@lunyfallo9756]

Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge ! I know I should read the entire parameter guide but I like learning with this kind of tutorial

[@dizre_beatbox]

Thanks for this Brother!

[@KFPloop]

I knew you can change FX parameters using assigns but I always wondered how to do this. Thank you for this tutorial and I can’t wait for the future ones.

Good job on explaining what the assigns do! Keep it up, bro! 🔥

[@c0untbakwerdz]

This vid is about so much more than just coloured assigns - wow. Thanks! Kind of feel like you ought to rename it though, I nearly skipped it thinking I wouldn't make much use of colour coding, v glad I didn't..

[@MrEsuoh]

The title represents this pretty well actually. I am covering assigns in this video by using the buttons offered on the loop. Which can also be changed to different colors Colored assigns!

[@c0untbakwerdz]

@@MrEsuoh Sure dude. You do you.

[@pranayvenkatesh8790]

yoo so hyped that you've started making tutorials!

[@seqw0044]

Hey Mr. Esuoh! So i have a question, i've seen alot of loopers using assigns to change effects with one click (for example you assign track2 to change IFX A from lpf to osc bot and IFX C from reverb to EQ) and i looked through all of the settings and options and i can't figure out how to do this)

[@MrEsuoh]

Great question! You need to go to the assigns menu. Turn on whichever assign you'd like to use. The "source" will be whichever button you'd like to use. And the "target" will be what you want the button to control. As indicated in my tutorial, I scroll through the target list and find things like "IN FX AA CTL". Which directly translates to "Input Effect Bank A Effect A Control" I have a full guide for what these mean and the rc505 mk2 manual also tells you which each does. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oCiIPQCYEcPg-k2NglhH_YxaneILrcKncppQMBsEiyg/edit?usp=drivesdk static.roland.com/assets/media/pdf/RC-505mk2_Parameter_eng03_W.pdf

[@ghasty5139]

Great Tutorial!

[@MrEsuoh]

Thank you! I hope it helped!

[@houmangf]

So tnx for these great tutorials! I have a simple question that never find any answer for it! Is there anyway to undo a parameter that changed by mistake?! Or is there anyway to undo a track that cleared by mistake?! Sometimes I change a parameter and don't forget what was the last state!

[@MrEsuoh]

There is no way to do either unfortunately. Best to write down your fx and try to save your memory as much as possible. Back ups also help a lot

[@houmangf]

@MrEsuoh I see! So tnx bro!

[@zvaker]

hello Mr. Esuoh ! Please help me, I can't fix the problem for more than a week. I connect a MIDI keyboard to the loop station. In the settings of the USB I put "LINE OUT" - the loop station records only the microphone, the sounds of the keyboard are in the headphones, but the loop station does not record them(((. With the "LOOP IN" settings - the MIDI keyboard is already recorded but records all the sounds from the PC and the looping effects of the station are also overlaid on the audio in the video. I tried to set the "INPUT LEVEL" from 100% to 0%, but it just completely turns off the sound from the PC and if i need to select the sound of the instrument in Ableton, then i need to turn it on again. also noticed that if I casually record some sound from my PC to the loopstation, while recording music, some micro-whistles appear in the entire track and I need to reboot the loopstation ((( please help ❤

[@MrEsuoh]

Hello, do you have an Instagram where I can reach out to help you further?

[@baha_sarko]

❤️❤️❤️ Nice video

[@mohamadzogheib4598]

Can we get a tutorial on how to use EQ for different types of kicks? Greay video!

[@MrEsuoh]

Will consider this 👍

[@warfix_68]

Thank you men ;)

[@PSn505]

Good

[@BWC92]

I'm I understand correctly? we can turn on 16 effects at the same time?

[@MrEsuoh]

Yes you can! But I would recommend using the assigns to do more efficient tasks. Like changing FX or parameters.

[@imaginableAudio]

subscribed. bro, how do I play one track and then make the second track play after the first track ends? i want to make a B section after playing the first part.

[@MrEsuoh]

Hello! That's a tricky one, you would mess around with assigns so that when "track 1(example)" stops, you play "track 2". You need to mess around with other loops and assigns to get that working as well. Although I wouldn't know how to do that exactly myself. You could also sequence a long tremelo or step slicer sequence with a slow rate on both tracks. 3rd option is to set both tracks on "single" play mode. So that when you play the other track, the first one stops. I hope this helps

[@Simonchez]

Great tutorial but you have some kind of weird precessing on your mic that makes this hard to listen too. Is it over-compression or some kind of gating?

[@MrEsuoh]

My apologies, I used the raw sound from my microphone. I promise my next tutorial will have better microphone quality. This video does now have English captions. 👍

[@infernus6262]

Thank u man 🤙

[@3lementalist620]

Is there a way i can change the LED colors of a button without changing its function?

[@MrEsuoh]

The LED feature is only a function, so no

[@EddieZep]

If Phantom power is active it does so on both xlr inputs or you can select just one of the two?

[@MrEsuoh]

You can choose it to be on or off independently on both 👌

[@EddieZep]

​@@MrEsuohThank you

[@rize2day]

I cant get my colors to be on off and one on

[@progmaster15]

First of all, thank you so much for the tutorial, it was very helpful :) But I don't quite understand why people use a lunchpad, when there are only 16 assigns, that you can also set to the buttons on the mk2. What am I missing?

[@MrEsuoh]

Great question! People use launchpad because you can assign specific cc values. Allowing you to have infinite effect switched on one bank with 4 assigns. You can also sequence a lot of steps into osc vocoder. Way more than 16 steps in regular osc bot

[@progmaster15]

@@MrEsuoh Woow that's pretty cool! Thanks, I get it now :D

[@andrewmattia7612]

Yoo great video dude! I was wondering, can you set the knobs that are usually used to alter the effect parameters to be the "control" for the track output fx? Would be cool to be able to do a filter sweep while using the beat repeater/things like that

[@MrEsuoh]

Hello! You can actually control pretty much everything with both input FX and track FX knobs. In the assigns, set the source as either Input or Track FX Knobs and set it to target whatever you like. You can choose certain effects to control on either input and track FX at the same time with multiple assigns

[@andrewmattia7612]

@@MrEsuohcan you assign the parameter control knobs to control the big "control knobs" for all of the track fx

[@MrEsuoh]

@@andrewmattia7612 unfortunately you cannot control a knob as a whole

[@kisho2679]

can pitch be assigned to faders?

[@MrEsuoh]

Hello, track faders can only be affected by source actions. And faders are also NOT a source action. So I would say no

[@franciscomarquinez4636]

Hello brother, how are you? I only have two questions.....one is how to place the volume of the rhythm on the main screen.....and the other is where is the rec count off??? because before recording I want you to throw me a drink thanks

[@MrEsuoh]

Hello! You can adjust the volume of the rhythm in the mixer if you press enter. Or You Can press Menu, Mixer. I'm not sure what you mean by rec count off. But maybe take a look inside Rhythm Edit. Or press Loop, Rec. You might find what you need in either

[@bullpup1337]

I did not understand the AA effect thing… what is a “bank”?

[@MrEsuoh]

I recommend going through the manual of the rc 505 mk2. This machine basically has different pages of effects that can be switched through. You can jump from 4 effect immediately to another 4 different effects (or the same effect with different parameters) It allows you to set up your loops faster

[@bullpup1337]

@@MrEsuoh Ah, so like a special memory section just for effects? Thanks, I will delve more into the manual soon, sometimes I get impatient with reading it and just want to do stuff….

[@YuZZRA_official]

how to reset these icons urgently!!

[@MrEsuoh]

Hello, I'm not sure what you mean. Can you elaborate?

[@fr4ctl_]

Can you save your assign settings per project number?"

[@MrEsuoh]

Absolutely! And if you do steps at 0:12 you can save the control functions per project number(memory) as well! Meaning different LED's and functions each project slot!

[@lonbluster]

nice try for the led lightning.. but you can t do miracles.. - if you use the assign you risk to have multiple functions on 1 press - if you turn off the Function you ll go without the hold and doble click I just hope they ll do a firmware upgrade.. is disappointing

[@MrEsuoh]

It's actually very useful to have multiple assigns on 1 buttons. Since most of the control functions can be found in the assigns, you can either set the function to anything like you (example: reverse) and also have assigns changing effects. You can even have the function just be an LED which wont do any functions, but can still be used for assigns. I find it to be the best way to go about using Assigns + Control Functions Really the only downside is the number of assigns. We are only limited to 16
