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..!
