SV: Electro Harmonix 2880

["Thomas Wingren" <thomas.wingren@bredband.net>]

Hi Bobby,

I have the 2880 and use it to loop percussion in sync with a laptop running
Ableton Live. Midi out from the 2880 is connected to a Roland 404. Both the
2880 and the 404 is in perfect sync with Ableton.

But I have had problems with other equipment when the midi network is very
long. Do you have the same problem if you connect the ER-1 direct into the
2880?

Has anyone had any luck running the 2880 slaved to another device?   
I've tried a few configurations but nothing's working.

My band plays live with a Midi network on stage.  The midi chain is as
follows:

<master> Korg ER-1 Drum machine (Drummer sets song tempo and listens to
click) <midi out>----> <midi in> Echoplex (git loops) <midi thru> ---->
<midi in> Korg MS2000B (arpeggiator or tempo delay with bass fed through
audio in of keys.)<midi thru> ----> <midi in> Electro Harmonix 2880<end>

If you record in the first bank it stretches the audio all over the place.
I tried leaving that bank 1 empty and starting the loop in bank 2 .  That
worked once but it eventually lost sync with the other devices and I
couldn't make it happen again.

I'm about to sell it and get an Echoplex if nobody has any ideas.   
I'm no "Midiot".   I just think this little machine is trying to be  
smarter than it needs to be.
