    hi there

    i’m thinking of getting a 2880 for my live shows, but i need to know something first.

    let’s say i record the 4 tracks and play them back while i play my guitar on top of them;
    then, after 2 bars i mute tracks 2 and 4 (simultaneously) while tracks 1 and 3 are still playing
    and again after 4 bars i recall tracks 2 and 4 back in (simultaneously).

    Can i do this?? and if yes How??

    in other words i need to know if i can use the 2880 as a proper live mixer/recorder
    on which i can mute/solo (simultaneously if i need to) the tracks in question.

    thanks for your help!

    you can do this — but you would have to have a free hand to move down the volume sliders on tracks you wanted muted — then when you want them back just move the volume sliders on those tracks back up

    You can hook up a midi foot controller and use that to mute/un-mute specific tracks depending on the Control Change # you send in. I’m trying to do this with my Roland FC-300 midi foot controller.

    that’s good to know…
    do u suggest to buy a particular midi foot controller like your roland or i can use the 2880 controller pedal as well.
    i would go for the cheapest one!
    thanks!

    Behringer has a pretty cheap one. I’m still working on getting mine programmed and synced up to the 2880. Having a problem mapping the CC#’s to 100+ which is what the record/play/new loop functions need.

    yes ..i’ve seen all the assignable parameters on page26 of the manual.

    Do u reckon i can use the 2880 foot controller switches to assign the mute/unmute function
    in addition to the record and play ones…i can get a new one at a very cheap price.

    would be great to make the 2880 controller as flexible as possible.
