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
