- This article is about the category. For the looping device used in battles, see RC-505.
Loopstation is a beatbox battle category involving a beatboxer using a loop station to layer sounds and create a music track.
History[]
A Loopstation category was added to the Grand Beatbox Battle in 2013[1] and to the Beatbox Battle World Championship in 2018.
Additional devices[]
In recent years, events like the GBB and most online competitions started allowing the use of an additional device or "second device" with an RC-505. Using such a device allows loopers to circumvent the limitations of a single loop station and expand the sounds of their tracks with synthesizers, advanced equalizer settings, and other effects.
The following list contains the most commonly used and approved devices in events:
- Korg KAOSS PAD KP3+
- Line 6 Helix
- TC-Helicon Voicelive 3
- BOSS RC-505
- BOSS RC-202
- BOSS GT-1000
- BOSS SY-1000
