Re: New EHX Multi-Track Looping Recorder announced !
Title: Re: New EHX Multi-Track Looping Recorder announced
!
Hi Jeff,
I was in pretty close communication with EX for the later OS
updates to the 2880, almost entirely about MIDI, though I was more
interested in the bugs that would cause the device to freak out while
bouncing to the "stereo" track.
I tend to use mine with the factory foot controller, though
the midi options open up some other possibilities.. My mindset these
days is pretty minimalistic, and I find the 2880 well suited to less
manipulative forms of looping. One great application is to set
the loop length very very short and use it as a delay, as you switch
tracks, the delay is "frozen", and the faders allow you to
blend the textures of these frozen tracks. It's a 4 track DDL
with infinite hold..!

Agreed Chuck! I didn't mean to sound like
I didn't like my 2880! Just that the "new" looper from EHX
is a bit misleading and this caused me to be disappointed :) If I
broke down and got a midi controller for the 2880 it would do even
more of what I want it to.
It's just that some of us had suggested
upgrades for so long in the forum and none of them came about.

I agree to a point.. I absolutely LOVE my 2880, especially
because of the physical control over speed, mix and feedback.. but
only one loop per card is pretty stupid. I have to use a
computer to save and recall loops.

I am disappointed by it. It is just the
same as the 2880 except that you can store your loops for editing and
reloading. For me a non interest. It also has an added mono mix
monitor output. whoopie! lol
Maybe some specs are different but I didn't notice
anything else from a brief look at the manual.
Next please!
Jeff
