Also, to anyone viewing this thread, if you could take two minutes to answer the polls on these other forum posts, that would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!
QUESTION ABOUT PUNCH-IN:

Quote:Hi Myke,I read your posts on the forum and have to say you nailed it for me on some of them. The main changes I would love to see are for more individual control of tracks. Mute, Reverse, Octave ( I like the idea of up or down), the ability to set loop length independently, and my most desired feature: feedback control over all tracks even when not recording on them or even when they are muted.
I would also like to be able to tap in new loop length at least when in overdub mode. The DD 20 does this but it is a delay not a phrase sampler or at least I only use it in delay mode. I don’t want to stir up problems with the definition of a phrase sampler vs delay
One other thing is that reverse on the 2880 just doesn’t sound as good as the reverse on the old 16 sec delay to me…I don’t know why that is. might be just me although others have mentioned it I believe.
Really I never use punch in or would probably not use undo. I have no need of midi sync and I always play with it un-quantized in an attempt to make it seem more “delay” like rather than phrase sampler like. One other thing I wish I could change on it is when ending the recording of a loop with pressing New Loop, it always switches to the next two tracks, I play in stereo mostly. This is a slight problem because I don’t use the others much because of the feedback issue. I play more of an evolving, everchanging sort of delay loop thing so I need to be having loops fading as I add more. With your proposed features I could really expand my use of it. Right now I use a Boss DD 20 right before the 2880 and just deal with the limitations in both units. They are both really close to what I want in many ways.
If you need me to sign a petition you have my vote!
BTW, it seems some of these feature are availiable via midi although I have never tried it. Have you read the info in the software upgrade 1.5?
If you haven’t I will send it to you off list.best,
Jeff

http://www.vimeo.com/jeffdukeMykeMemberQuote:Can we make it a Tap Tempo button?I’m imagining tap tempo could be done using either the “Reverse” or “Octave” buttons, as when starting a new loop these buttons are completely inactive. I know “Punch-In” is the same way, but the reason I’m leaning towards one of the other two is because they are on the foot controller, therefore allowing foot-based tap tempo. What do you think?

• Quantize is for one bar length
• Reverse limited to all five tracks
• Octave limited to all five tracks
• Tempo slider limited to all five tracks
• No timestretching

December 29, 2009 at 11:56 pm in reply to: 2880 Software Upgrade 2.0: Current Problems/Lacking Features #105835MykeMemberI have gathered the following possible software changes from https://www.ehx.com/forums/viewthread/1464/
• Independent OCTAVE UP & OCTAVE DOWN function for each channel (at the same time Master Octave should remain)
• Independent REVERSE function for each channel (or even PLAY MODE button: play backward, play forward<->backward, one shot playback)
• Tap tempo
• Asynchronous loops
• A better LIVE mix-down (option to simply clear out the 4 loops when mixdown is complete, or something that would prevent a second pass over dub/jump in volume.)
• Save multiple loop sets
• On/Off switch for Feedback control with sliders
• Mute channel buttons
