2. Quantize Loop update: allows for truncating a loop as well as finishing out a loop, when ending your New Loop.
3. Fixed bugs associated with syncing to MIDI Clock.

See the pdf file called 2880 Software Upgrade Instructions that is contained within the zip file you downloaded or were emailed.

UPGRADE USER NOTES
See the pdf file called 2880 Software Upgrade Version 1_5 Notes for futher information on how to use the new features in the 2880 version 1.5 upgrade.

Also included in the zip file is the updated 2880 manual. The latest manual includes the additions in the software upgrade.

I don’t know when the update was released, but I haven’t seen anyone here mention it.

Plus it responds to continuous controller messages. It would be awesome if they could do the same for the HOG.
