Re: BOSS RC-50 vs EH2880
Title: Re: BOSS RC-50 vs EH2880
What I dont't get with this looper is
the footswitch control! There is no specification on that?
stephane
The 2880 foot controller has 6 buttons:
"New Loop" sets up the unit to begin a new loop.
It continues to play the old loop until you press the record button.
Pressing the new loop button makes three lights flash rapidly on the
footcontroller, as a warning. Pressing "New Loop" again
cancels it.
"Reverse" pretty obvious. Works equally well in
record and play. Whan synched to MIDI it has a fantastic ballistic -
exactly like a tape machine!
"Octave" Drops the loop by one octave... at any
tempo. It also halves the tempo of the MIDI clock, I wish it
didn't...
"Track Select" steps through the 4
available mono tracks, enebling recordon them. In stereo mode it
selects one of the 2 pairs. Because it sequentially steps through the
tracks, the LED lights when track 1 is selected.
"Record" When stopped, pressing this will begin
recording at the beginning of the loop, when playing it acts as a
punch in / out button
"Play" starts and stops the loop.
I've modified mine a bit, swapping the position of the 'New Loop"
and "Track Select" functions and changing the LED colors
(red=record, green=play).
The foot controller contains a microcontroller and is powered by
the 1/4" mono cable connecting it to the 2880.
