Mark Back function By marking the recording or overdubbing state of a phrase, you can instantly return to that playing state and re-record, or undo/redo a marked phrase to add accents to your performance. 2. Two new overdub modes added The RC-600 offers three overdub modes. In addition to OVERDUB, which overwrites a previously recorded track with a new performance, REPLACE1 has been added, which allows you to record over a previously recorded track while playing it back, creating an effect similar to a delay effect, and REPLACE2, which overwrites a previously recorded track without playing it back. Setting this according to the situation will ensure a smooth performance. 3. Bounce-in function You can record phrases from multiple tracks together on another track. 4. Auto recording ON/OFF added to assign target At the beginning of a performance, recording will start automatically when an input signal is detected, but from the second time onwards, you can record manually. 5. Changing the playback speed of loop phrases The RC-600 lets you instantly change the playback speed of phrases. You can create tricky effects by switching to double speed or half speed. You can also choose whether to change the pitch depending on the tempo speed, or to keep the pitch constant. ■Main Specifications ・Sampling frequency: 44.1 kHz ・AD, DA conversion: 32-bit ・Internal calculation: 32-bit floating point ・Recording/playback Number of tracks: 6 Data format: WAV (44.1 kHz, stereo 32-bit floating point) Maximum recording time: Approximately 1.5 hours (1 track), approximately 13 hours (total memory) ・Rhythm types: Over 200 types ・Rhythm kits: 16 types ・Effect types INPUT FX: 49 types, TRACK FX: 53 types, MASTER FX: 2 types ・Memory: 99 ・Nominal input level MIC IN 1, 2: -40 dBu INST IN 1, 2: -10 dBu ・Maximum input level MIC IN 1, 2: 0 dBu INST IN 1, 2: +7 dBu/+20 dBu (switchable) ・Input impedance MIC IN 1, 2: 3 kΩ INST IN 1, 2: 1MΩ/25kΩ (switchable) - Nominal output level MAIN OUTPUT: -10dBu SUB OUTPUT 1, 2: -10dBu - Maximum output level MAIN OUTPUT: +7dBu SUB OUTPUT 1, 2: +7dBu - Output impedance MAIN OUTPUT: 1kΩ SUB OUTPUT 1, 2: 1kΩ - Recommended load impedance MAIN OUTPUT: 10kΩ or more SUB OUTPUT 1, 2: 10kΩ or more - Controls: REC/PLAY switches × 3, STOP switches × 3, TRACK SELECT switch, UNDO/REDO switch, ALL START/STOP switch, MENU button, LOOP button, RHYTHM button, TAP TEMPO button, ENTER button, EXIT button, PAGE buttons, 1 to 4 knobs, OUTPUT LEVEL knob Display: Graphic LCD 128 x 64 dots (with backlight) Connection terminals MIC IN 1, 2 terminals: XLR type (balanced, phantom power: DC 48V, 10mA Max) INST IN 1, 2 terminals, MAIN OUTPUT terminal, SUB OUTPUT 1, 2 terminals: Standard type PHONES terminal: Stereo standard type CTL1,2/EXP1 terminal, CTL3,4/EXP2 terminal: Standard TRS type USB terminal: USB B type MIDI (IN, OUT) terminals DC IN terminal Power supply: AC adapter Current consumption: 1.2A (phantom power on), 1.1A (phantom power off) Dimensions: 435 (W) x 163 (D) x 66 (H) mm Weight: 2.4 kg Accessories: AC Adapter, instruction manual, "Safety Precautions" leaflet, warranty card Optional accessories: Foot switch: FS-5U Dual foot switch: FS-6, FS-7 Expression pedal: FV-500H, FV-500L, EV-30, Roland EV-5
