Title: Re: eh 2880 midi capabilities...!!!

Raul,

Kelly has it wrong, happy to say!!!

The 2880  (rev 1.5) has great MIDI implementation. Here is the list:


   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.

hi friends,

just wanting to know from some owner out there if it's
possible to control features such as pan, pitch shift, reverse, etc
on the EH 2880 from a MIDI controller, since it seems to have
MIDI I/O.

thanks in advance,

raul.
