Hi so im very VERY impressed by the ehx 2880
and i am curious about the pedal and midi codes to control functions
I have a fcb 1010 midi foot controller and would like to save myself a hundred bucks by programming it to play the looper
would any body have a acess to a midi chart for the 2880February 11, 2011 at 7:12 pm #114243TheGhostMachinaMemberI’m not certain you can do that, since the foot controller is 1/4 connection. There is another thread, under the suggestions/wishful thinking category, that talks about wanted features on the 2880, and I think that’s one of them.
However, I don’t own one, so I can’t say for sure.

February 11, 2011 at 9:48 pm #114244SYSTEM_ERROR_42Memberbut it recieves midi in does it not or is that only for master clock not midi functions like play pause or next loop and wammy for the volumes and feed backs and such
thanx for the quick post
and i did order my 2880 alreadyFebruary 11, 2011 at 9:52 pm #114245CryabetesParticipantI don’t have the midi implementation chart, but the midi is for more than just the master clock. it’ll receive start/stop info and I THINK you can set it up for external control using the sliders [you know, if you want to drop $400 on a six-slider midi controller]. Your best bet would be to check the manual either online or when you get it.

February 12, 2011 at 12:28 pm #114247marclr17MemberDear SYSTEM_ERROR_42,
I have a 2880 and have the same need to pilot with a midi foot controler. I think I’m going to buy a 1010 too.
Of course there is a implement chart.
It is on the new PDF manual here : https://www.ehx.com/assets/instructions/2880.pdf and check the new upgrade zip file, it contain the same + an other very important manual.EHX have made a very good job with the 2880 midi implementation : you can pilot ALL the functions, buttons, fader etc… with a midi pedal board, except the phone volume & the entry volume (analog knobs).
BUT YOU CAN PILOT MUCH MORE THAN WHAT IS ON THE 2880 FRONT PANEL !!! : mute / unmute of all tracks, pan of all, volume (with your FCB1010 expression pedal), track selection for next record etc…
THANKS EHX ! Really very good job !In my opinion, a midi foot controler is really needed for the 2880, and despite I have buy a 2880 foot controler too, I’m not sure it is the good choice : for the same price, you have a FCB1010 (here in France) to replace the EHX foot controler, with +10 boutons and 2 expression pedals…
Best regards from France,
Sorry for my poor English writing.

MIDI Control Change Messages:
The 2880 can respond to specific Control Change messages. The following lists all of the 2880 parameters and their
corresponding CC#.
CC# Data Range 2880 Parameter
9 0 to 127 Clix level
20 0 to 127 Dry Out slider
21 0 to 127 Track 1 play/feedback slider
22 0 to 127 Track 2 play/feedback slider
23 0 to 127 Track 3 play/feedback slider
24 0 to 127 Track 4 play/feedback slider
25 0 to 127 Mix track play/feedback slider
26 0 to 127 Tempo slider
27 0 to 127 Dry Out pan
28 0 to 127 Track 1 pan
29 0 to 127 Track 2 pan
30 0 to 127 Track 3 pan
31 0 to 127 Track 4 pan
102 127 Push REC button
103 127 Push NEW button
104 127 Push PLAY button
105 127 Push TRACK SELECT button
106 127 Push EXT SYNC button
107 127 Push MIXDOWN button
108 127 Push STEREO button
109 127 Push REVERSE button
110 127 Push OCTAVE button
111 127 Push PUNCH-IN button
112 127 Push QUANTIZE button
124 0 Change to OMNI=OFF
125 0 Change to OMNI=ON
Please Note:
• There must be at least 300mS between each button push message.
• At power up the 2880 will always be in OMNI=OFF mode.This means that it will only obey Control Change
messages on the selected channel. The 2880 can however be switched to OMNI=ON mode by receipt of the
appropriate command on its selected channel. In OMNI=ON mode 2880 will respond to CONTROL CHANGE
MESSAGES (except OMNI=OFF) on any channel.
• Moving a fader or knob after receiving a CC message will overwrite the last CC message with the last fader or
knob movement.
MIDI Program Change Messages:
The 2880 also interprets certain Program Change messages as button pushes and mute/unmute commands. In
addition to accessing every button on the 2880 with Program Change, we have also added more functions not
present on the face of the 2880, such as mute/unmute of the tracks and direct selection of a track. A program
change message has one information byte, P0 (0 to 127), but this is usually presented to the user as being 1 to 128,
shown below as P1.

108 109 Mute/unmute Dry Out**
109 110 Mute/unmute clix level**
110 111 Mute/unmute all play tracks***
** The single channel mute/unmute action works as follows: If the channel’s level is greater than zero when the
command is received then the channel will be muted. If the channel’s level is zero when the command is
received then the level will be set either to that of 2880’s panel fader or to that of the last CC message (20..24),
depending on which was the last received.
*** When a mute/unmute all-play-tracks command is received all play tracks will be muted if ANY of them is greater
than zero. If ALL of them are zero then each will be set to fader or CC level.February 13, 2011 at 7:34 am #114264SYSTEM_ERROR_42Memberthank you this is such a good responce cant wait for it to come in the mail

February 13, 2011 at 10:56 am #114265marclr17MemberAs you receive your 2880 and try FCB/2880, could you please tell us how you programm the FCB1010 for the 2880, and what is the result ?
We are some people here (in a French Looper Forum) to want to do the same (buy a FCB1010) and cant wait for the result.
What function for the 2880 do you try to pilot with the FCB ?
o mute/unmu tracks ?
o start / stop / record / punch-in etc… ?
o direct select next track to record ?Marc
