    Hello. This week was the firs time I tried to connect the 2880 to NI maschine. It was all ok while both machines were in play mode. Then, when I stopped the 2880 and tried to begin a new loop (I had stopped the maschine before) the red light tilt, but when I push to record nothing happens. It looks like 2880 lost maschine´s clock reference and blocked itself. I hope my 2880 is not broken by that. So I have two questions.

    What is the way to reset the 2880?

    What is the right sequence from the start to the end of performance, to play and stop the 2880 and the machine which gives it the external clock reference?

    I´m asking from Spain, sorry for my English.

    i think, when using the 2880 with an external midi clock, you have to stop it from the master clock. Turning it off + back on with the master clock stopped should do it.

    Did this solution work? I had my 2880 set to use an external clock, and stopped everything, then powered down. Now it won’t respond to anything other than track select and stereo mode — won’t record, won’t play, nothing. How do I send this stop message, given that I think I already did? And is there a way to just reset it to factory defaults?

    @ken.ficara – do you have a CF card in your 2880? I know without it they act screwy.

    Yes, I do, but it was in fact the MIDI problem. I think I turned off the ext clock switch before the stop message was sent. I reconnected it, turned ext clock back on, sent the stop again, turned ext clock off, and disconnected the MIDI cable. Works fine now. But there should be some way to do a factory reset.
