    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 2880

    I’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.

    I 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.

    Dear 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.

    Here is the midi implementation chart for the 2880 :

    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.
    25
    P0 or P1 2880 Parameter
    80 81 Push PLAY button
    81 82 Mute/unmute track 1’s play**
    82 83 Mute/unmute track 2’s play**

    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.

    As 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 ?
