Re: 2880 midi control

[Charles Zwicky <cazwicky@earthlink.net>]

Hi Teddy,

  The 2880 will go in chromatic steps or change the pitch freely 
depending on the mixdown mode selected. If the 'mixdown track' is 
synched to the 4 basic tracks the slider is chromatic, if it is free 
then the tempo slider is continuous and had a finer adjustment near 
the center of the pot's physical range...   When synched to MIDI the 
pitch tracks tempo smoothly - identically to tape.  The slider has 
one octave up, one octave down range.
