For this setup example, we'll setup using the ES-8: MUTE footswitch to do TAP TEMPO for the RC-10R.
Connect using a 1/4" TRS STEREO cable from the ES-8 EXT/EXTERNAL CTL 1/2 OUTPUT to your RC-10R CTL1/2 EXP JACK.
See diagram below for connections and link below for BOSS TRS cabling:

RC-10R SETTINGS:
- On the RC-10R go to the CONTROL MENU - press MENU navigate to CONTROL - go to CTL1 PREF/CONTROL 1 PREFERENCE and set it to SYSTEM/GLOBAL.
- In the CONTROL MENU then navigate and set CTL1 FUNCTION: to TAP TEMPO.
This will set up the RC-10R CTL 1/2/EXP JACK to receive signal for TAP TEMPO control externally from the ES-8.
ES-8 SETTINGS:
On the ES-8, press EDIT button - navigate to the CTL/EXP menu - go to MUTE (or other NUM1-8 footswitch) : set to OFF to turn OFF the MUTE or other default functionality.
Then EXIT to CTL/EXP menu again and navigate to the ASSIGNMENT 1 and set the following:
ASSIGNMENT 1
SW/SWITCH: ON
SRC/SOURCE: MUTE (or other user chosen NUM 1-8 footswitch)
MODE: MOMENTARY
CATE/CATEGORY: E.CTL/EXTERNAL CONTROL
TARGET: CTL1
MIN: OFF
MAX: ON
WRITE/SAVE your settings to this specific PATCH press WRITE button three times to WRITE/SAVE customized user settings to this specific PATCH.
Test and check using your MUTE footswitch on the ES-8 to control the RC-10R TAP TEMPO.
