Accessing the setlist in the RC 600 is a crucial step for musicians and audio engineers seeking to organize and control their live performances. This feature allows users to store, recall, and edit a comprehensive repertoire of songs, simplifying the process of accessing the necessary settings and musical cues during a show. By understanding the intuitive workflow and navigating the user interface, you can harness the power of the RC 600 to enhance your live performances and deliver flawless renditions of your musical creations.
To initiate the process of accessing the setlist, begin by navigating to the “Setlist” tab using the rotary encoder and enter button. This action will present you with a list of existing song entries within the current setlist. To add a new song to the setlist, select the “Add New” option by pressing the right arrow key and confirming with the enter button. This will create a new song entry, ready for you to customize and configure according to your specific requirements.
Within each song entry, you can meticulously define all the essential parameters that will govern its playback and control during the performance. These parameters include assigning the desired patch to be recalled when the song is selected, configuring the loop lengths and quantization settings, and adjusting the volume and panning of individual tracks. Additionally, you can create and edit custom patches within the RC 600, allowing for the creation of unique and tailored soundscapes for each song in your setlist. By meticulously crafting these settings, you can ensure that every performance is executed with precision and finesse, leaving a lasting impression on your audience.
Navigating the RC 600 Interface
The RC 600’s user interface is designed to be intuitive and easy to navigate. The front panel features a large LCD display that shows you all the relevant information about your current patch, such as the patch name, the currently selected bank, and the values of the various parameters. Below the display are a series of buttons and knobs that you can use to control the RC 600’s parameters. These buttons and knobs are arranged in a logical way, so you can quickly find the controls that you need.
The RC 600’s interface is also divided into several different sections, each of which contains a specific set of controls.

And the “System” section contains the controls that you need to manage the RC 600’s overall settings.

Incorrect Song Order
Reorder the songs by dragging and dropping them in the Setlist view. Ensure the songs are in the desired sequence.
Audio Issues
Check the audio connections, cables, and volume levels. Make sure the RC 600 is connected to the desired audio system or headphones. If the audio is still distorted or absent, troubleshoot the audio equipment.
Sync Issues
Ensure the RC 600 and your mobile device are connected via Bluetooth or USB. If sync issues persist, try restarting both devices and reconnecting them.
Loop Playback Issues
Check the loop settings in the RC 600. Ensure the loop is set to the desired length and mode (manual, hands-free, or auto). Adjust the loop parameters as needed.
Preset Recall Issues
Verify that the presets you want to recall are saved in the RC 600. If the presets are not recalled, check the preset settings and ensure they are mapped correctly.
Firmware Updates
Keep the RC 600 firmware up to date. Firmware updates often address bugs and improve performance. Check for updates by connecting the RC 600 to a computer and using the Boss RC Central software.
Factory Reset
If all troubleshooting steps fail, consider performing a factory reset on the RC 600. This will restore the device to its default settings. Note that performing a factory reset will erase all user data, so it is recommended to back up important presets before proceeding.
Specific Song Playback Issues
If playback issues are specific to certain songs, check the song files themselves. Ensure the files are not corrupted or missing.
| Error | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Song not playing | File corruption or audio issue | Try a different song file or troubleshoot audio equipment |
| Song playing slowly or erratically | Memory issues | Free up memory by deleting unnecessary loops or backing up and resetting the RC 600 |
| Song volume lower than expected | Incorrect gain settings | Adjust loop volume or overall RC 600 output volume |
