mixer, computer, tape recorder or any other suitable device. The Output Impedance at each OUTPUT Jack is 400 Ohms.
HEADPHONE OUTPUT Jack: Plug your preferred headphones into the Stereo Headphone jack,
labeled . Each channel of the HEADPHONE Output jack can deliver 0.1W into 16 ohms.
HEADPHONES VOLUME Knob: The knob labeled adjusts the output volume for the Headphones.
The Headphones Volume knob is an analog knob after the D/A Converter, it has no bearing on the level of the
recorded or played back audio that is saved on the card.
B. Digital I/O and Power
FOOTSWITCH Jack: Using a standard 1/4" guitar cable, connect this jack to the 2880’s remote Foot Controller
(sold separately). The Foot Controller allows foot access to the following functions: NEW LOOP, RECORD, PLAY,
TRACK SELECT, REVERSE and OCTAVE. With the Foot Controller, the 2880 becomes a live/solo looper where you can
make loops on the fly, in time with your band, while playing your instrument.
MIDI IN Jack: Standard 5-pin DIN MIDI cables connect to this jack. When the EXT. CLOCK function is on, the
2880 can sync to MIDI Clock through the MIDI IN jack. You can use a drum machine, sequencer, beat box or any
device that outputs MIDI Clock as the MIDI Clock master; the 2880 will slave to the external device.
MIDI OUT Jack: Standard 5-pin DIN MIDI cables connect to this jack. When the EXT.CLOCK function is off, the
2880 constantly generates MIDI Clock and outputs it through the MIDI OUT jack. Using the MIDI OUT Jack, the 2880
is the MIDI Clock master; you can slave another device, such as a drum machine, sequencer or beat box, to the 2880.
The 2880 also uses the MIDI OUT jack as a MIDI Thru, passing whatever commands the MIDI IN jack receives back
out to the MIDI OUT jack. When EXT. CLOCK Mode is activated, the MIDI OUT jack will pass the MIDI Clock signal it
receives through the MIDI IN jack back out of the MIDI OUT jack.
9VDC/500mA Power Jack: Plug the supplied 9VDC/500mA AC Adapter into this jack. The barrel connector
dimensions required for the Power Jack are 5.5 x 2.5 mm. Use only the supplied AC Adapter or you may damage the
unit, injure yourself or a band mate.
C. Memory Card and USB
The 2880 records 16 bit audio at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz. One significant advantage is that all audio is uncompressed
and is not processed into a less professional format. What you hear is what you recorded and it is presented at CD qualit
y
.
Compact Flash Memory Card
All recorded audio is stored on removable Compact Flash (CF) memory cards. The CF Card slot is located on the
right side of the 2
880.
The 2880 comes supplied with a 1GB card which allows for a maximum loop length of 31 minutes. Just as the
original 16 Second Delay stood for the maximum amount of storage, the name 2880 stands for the number of
seconds that can be recorded with a 256MB card, 2880 seconds or 48 track-minutes of full bandwidth recording.
Using a 2GB flash memory c
ard, you c
an record over 37
2 tr
ack-minutes of full bandwidth audio. The real name
could be the 22,670.
The CF card c
an easily be removed when you record a loop, song or project that you do not want to overwrite
immediately. You may then reinsert a new CF card and continue working.
