    Hello,

    I have two questions regaurding my 2880.

    First Question…

    I’m trying to control the 2880 with a Roland FC-300 midi foot controller. The CC#’s only go up to 95 though. In order to send a CC message to the 2880 to record, I need to send in the CC# 103-107. The FC-300 has MIDI-Start, MIDI-Stop, MIDI-Rec functions, does anyone know if these functions correlate to the 103-107 CC#’s?

    Second question…

    I have an alesis sr-18 as a midi master, and 2880 as midi slave, so I can control the exact tempo through tap temp with the sr-18. If I change the tempo after recroding, the pitch either goes up or down along with the tempo. Does anyone know an algorithm to calculate the key change(semi-tones) for the tempo change. So if I am at tempo 120 now, and want to go up 5 semi-tones I would need to increase the tempo to 180? I know it would be 120 to 240 for an octave, but what if I want to only go up two half steps?

    Thanks for your help!

    did u give a look at page 26 of the manual.
    there are program changes you can assign under P1
    play/rec/newloop are all below value 100.
    is this anything to do with what you’re looking for?

    Can the Roland send program change commands? There’s a section in the 2880 manual about that.

    I’m not sure about the pitch change on tempo change.

    make sure you have the latest software and manual:
