Re: 2880 midi control

["Jeff Duke" <echohead@embarqmail.com>]

Yeah the tempo slider is it, other than octave down for pitch shift. its 
also very easy to return the pitch to its original state after messing 
with 
it. It has a light that comes on when you hit the tempo exactly.
you can't use octave down or the slider when it is synced to an external 
midi clock. however if you change the tempo of the drum machine it alters 
the pitch and it goes crazy for a bit then settles down. Real fun.
peace out,
Jeff
