Can we take this discussion to the loopers forum?

Comments? >I'm aware some things may have changed with the firmware mentioned >in another thread. > > > >Notes on Electro Harmonix 2880 looper > > >Manual pp 10: >Feedback control is partly possible. While overdubbing, previous >contents can be set to fade out with each loop. >No direct way of simply activating a 'loop fade-out' function is >available, but can maybe be emulated using overdup without actually >recording new material. > > >Manual pp 13: >The designated 2880 Foot Controller provides buttons for: >New Loop, Record, Play, Track Select, Reverse, Octave >Most buttons and faders et al.. still needs to be operated before being >possible to use the Foot Controller. > > >Manual pp 19: >In punch-in mode, hitting Record will immidiately start overwriting >a track at the location where Record is hit.
