Here's a brief overview of the main new features in this release:
- Time Stretching, using the cutting-edge Rubber Band time stretching engine.
- Drag Export mode, which lets you drag samples right out of BeatCleaver.
- FLAC support
- On-the-fly slicing, which lets you chop as a sample is playing.

Beatboxers, singers, and club performers, your Loop Station has arrived—introducing the RC-505, a unique and powerful live performance tool that's perfect for next-generation loop artists.

Just plug in a mic, instrument, or other audio source, and then ride the intuitive panel controls to build and mix some amazing loops! The RC-505 also supports computer integration via USB and operation with external pedals and MIDI, opening a world of advanced looping possibilities for all types of musicians.
