I’m getting more comfortable now with my 2880, and also like to see some things mentioned:

1. on/off and 2. separate reverse/octave controls for each channel via a second (or new) foot switch

3. tap tempo

4. xlr input

something I haven’t seen anyone else mention is a digital read out of bpm, and I’d like to see another read out of measure number. If we could get that, you could make loops for different time signatures, though it might take a little math if you did anything out of x/4 time. But it’d make x/4 signatures a lot easier.

What I do like that I didn’t think I’d use is the transfer file ability to computer. this is as easy as dragging and dropping if you use Garage Band.

Here’s some tunes I made with Garage Band, my 2880, and my Dano 6/4:

I have also used the midi to sync with drum beats in garage band using an m-audio usb-midi cable. I had to download a freeware program but it works well. I think this is it:

Not sure if I could really do what I wanted live with how this thing is set up now though. I’ve seen things on the big Boss looper that will do on/off different tracks, unfortunately I’ve read it won’t slave for midi. I’d like to stay with EH though, they are great. hope they can make an inexpensive fix!

I agree. I would like for it NOT to switch to next track upon entering overdub. I find this very annoying. To get a nice clean seamless loop it needs to stay on the track i just recorded. When it switches I then have the next track with a small piece of my first loop. I also think that all tracks should clear after mixdown. I thought the mixdown was to free up the first 4 tracks, but all the loops are still there. Also I think the volume/feedback slider system is whacked. It would be nice to have a ‘what you here is what you get’ system like the Repeater.

That those and this

As far as I know, mixdown simply throws everything (using the corrosponding set volumes from 1-4 and paste it to the mixdown track. I either don’t don’t how to delete them all at once either or count your lucky stars that EHX will possilby one day where you can clear 1-4 while maintining info on mixdown.

About the general recording, I’ve had one of this since x-mas and it happened before, because I honestly can’t remember what I did, and now it’s doing it again. This clipped up loop crap is reallly annnoying me. Crap, do I REALLY have to resort to the click?!?!

You guys are probably laughing at me and my ignorance. The true “pros” are laughing because we only have 1 PC screen.

Ah yes the clipping issue, this is my number one wish for a fix! Please give us more headroom!!!

All the other features would be nice but the clipping almost kills it. I have to practically keep my input knobs all the way down. It is very hard to work with dynamics. I have been using the 2880 as part of a large setup for years now and love it, deal with it as best I can but sometimes I think it’s time to invest in perhaps a Looperlative. Or maybe go the software route with Mobius.

More Headroom Please! Thanks for listening.

I realize it would be quite an undertaking, but I would like to suggest the idea of an external hard drive or hard drive-type device for the 2880, accessible via an adapter through the Compact Flash drive.

I love my 2880, but the possibility of saving multiple sets of loops is something that I would kill for. Something like an iPod-type device that allows the user to save sets of loops and queue them up into the 2880 would allow for some great live performances, and furthermore, would allow users to manipulate and chop saved loops without losing the original recording.

I read thru this thread quickly. Has anyone brought up the lack of stereo dry out? I dont quite understand why the dry out isn’t stereo, if you are recording a stereo signal through the unit. I have no idea if this is possible in firmware, but I am try to decide wether or not I am going to keep this unit. most of my guitar sounds are in stereo.

Oh jeez, Thanks. I read through the manual a few times, but I think i must have glossed over that part thinking it was talking about panning. I would not have expected to use the pan pot to get a stereo signal.

Thanks!
