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
