Moving the TEMPO slider while in the process of recording a
New Loop will not change the pitch of the recording,
although it does change the pitch after you have recorded the initial loop.

To end a New Loop press either the PLAY, RECORD or NEW LOOP buttons. Each of the three buttons will put the
2880 into a different mode upon completing the loop.
By pressing the PLAY button: the 2880 will automatically enter OVERDUB mode, the loop will cycle back to its
beginning and you will hear what you just recorded on Track 1. Both the RECORD and PLAY LEDs light up. When
pressing PLAY, the active track will jump to Track 2, so that you can immediately start recording onto Track 2.
By pressing the RECORD button: the 2880 will go into idle mode and stop Record and Playback. Track 1 will remain
the active track. The audio you recorded on Track 1 is in memory; you need to press PLAY to hear it.
By pressing the NEW LOOP button: the 2880 will automatically enter Play mode, the loop will cycle back to its beginning
and you will hear what you just recorded on Track 1. The PLAY LED lights up. The active track will jump to Track 2.
