Thanks for the re-post on that great review from Mr. Zwicky; "The ability to respond to Midi PC and CC input for the normal front panel functions. (Electro Harmonix have told me that this may be possible to add)" According to the firmware update you can now do that and more. I have not tried it with a midi pedal. From the firmware update: MIDI CONTROL Independently of the MIDI SYNC state, the 2880 will at all times respond to certain Control Change messages. These messages have the same effect as pushing 2880's buttons and moving its sliders and rotary controls (except input sensitivity and headphone level). The MIDI channel on which such messages are received can be altered from 2880's panel and saved in internal memory. SETTING THE MIDI CHANNEL Press MIXDOWN and hold it for more than 2 seconds. This will cause all of the LEDs except the four track LEDs to blink. The state of the track LEDs indicates the channel to which 2880 is currently set. It uses the following code ("." = LED off): Track LED 1 2 3 4 = MIDI channel . . . . 1 . . . ON 2 . . ON . 3 . . ON ON 4 . ON . . 5 . ON . ON 6 . ON ON . 7 . ON ON ON 8 ON . . . 9 ON . . ON 10 ON . ON . 11 ON . ON ON 12 ON ON . . 13 ON ON . ON 14 ON ON ON . 15 ON ON ON ON 16 If one holds MIXDOWN, the track LEDs will advance through the above sequence to select a different channel. When one releases MIXDOWN the channel selected will be saved after power cycling. MIDI CONTROL CHANGE MESSAGES 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. Each CONTROL CHANGE message carries two information bytes- the Controller Change Number (CC#) and the data value (DV). The following table shows which of 2880's functions the information bytes control: CC# DV 2880 Parameter 9 0 to 127 Clix level 20 0 to 127 Live signals monitor level 21 0 to 127 Track 1 play/feedback level 22 0 to 127 Track 2 play/feedback level 23 0 to 127 Track 3 play/feedback level 24 0 to 127 Track 4 play/feedback level 25 0 to 127 Mix track play/feedback level 26 0 to 127 Tempo slider 27 0 to 127 Live signals 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 There must be at least 300mS between each button push message. MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE MESSAGES The 2880 also interprets certain Program change messages as button pushes and mute/unmute commands. 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. P0 P1 2880 Parameter 80 81 Push PLAY button 81 82 Mute/unmute track 1's play ** 82 83 Mute/unmute track 2's play ** 83 84 Mute/unmute track 3's play ** 84 85 Mute/unmute track 4's play ** 85 86 Push REC button 86 87 Select track 1 for record (or 1 and 2 if stereo) 87 88 Select track 2 for record (or 1 and 2 if stereo) 88 89 Select track 3 for record (or 3 and 4 if stereo) 89 90 Select track 4 for record (or 3 and 4 if stereo) 90 91 Push NEW button 91 92 Push QUANTIZE button 92 93 Push REC button 93 94 Push PLAY button 94 95 Push REVERSE button 95 96 Push TRACK SELECT button 96 97 Push STEREO button 97 98 Push PUNCH-IN button 98 99 Push EXT SYNC button 99 100 Push OCTAVE button 100 101 Push PLAY button 101 102 Mute/unmute track 1's play ** 102 103 Mute/unmute track 2's play ** 103 104 Mute/unmute track 3's play ** 104 105 Mute/unmute track 4's play ** 105 106 Push REC button 106 107 Push MIXDOWN button 107 108 Mute/unmute mix track'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 most recently effective. *** 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. MIDI OUT (MIDI THRU) 2880 generally relays all received MIDI messages at its MIDI out connector. But in Internal sync mode it does not relay the sequencer commands: STOP START CONT CLOCK Sorry for the long post, someone try it and let me know!
