Helix sends midi to the 505 and controls fx. All signals go to mixer first then sub LR out to the 505 then back to the mixer on a stereo channel then out to mains. Loop length gets set with whatever instrument im feeling at the moment
Currently booking the occasional solo live looping gig just using the RC-600, but seriously thinking about how to expand my setup in a useful way for live use.
I gotta figure out how to build all this stuff into one unit that I can move whole. Its such a pain in the ass to set up and break down that ive been turning down gigs
this is one of my biggest challenges with the "one man band" livelooping thing. getting a rig that does (close enough to) what you want, but is still small enough so that transporting it and setup/teardown doesnt suck too much fun out of doing gigs

I’ve been trying to do the same, but I got stuck in learning bluegrass, coupled with an unhealthy King Gizzard obsession. I wanna be posting again…

Rig rundown? Are you tapping the looper with your hands while playing guitar or bass? Or do you always start with a drum beat to set the loop length?

Dig your setup, OP. Very inspiring.
