The RC-505 Editor allows for easy management of the content stored on the BOSS RC-505 Loop Station. The software is written in C++11 on top of the JUCE framework and runs on all major platforms (OSX, Linux and Windows). It was originally developed to simplify the task of copying loops created in DAWs to the looper, but evolved into a fully featured editor with the following functionality:

play/preview patches (not supporting all features of the hardware)
rename and move patches
edit system settings
edit patch settings
import audio loops (automatically convert audio format for compatibility with RC-505)
export audio loops
Download
You can download the latest releases for OSX and Windows on the Releases page. On Linux, please compile the application yourself, see the Compiling section for instructions.

Usage
WARNING

Please create a backup of your data before using this software, things can go wrong. You have been warned!

Use the following steps to create a backup:

connect the BOSS RC-505 Loop Station to a PC or Mac via USB
wait for the USB data volume to show up
copy all content of the ROLAND folder to a save place
Overview
This software only works with RC-505 loopers that have been updated with the latest 2.0 firmware version.

Due to lack of time there is currently no documentation on how to use the application. Feel free to write a user manual and open an issue or pull request so it can be added here.
