If you press the REVERSE button during CT Mixdown, the 4 Recorded tracks will play backwards while the Mixdown
track records going forward. This enables you to reverse a track (on the Mixdown track) after you had recorded
it forwards.
Using Constant Tempo Mixdown:
While the 2880 is idle, press the MIXDOWN button until the MIXDOWN LED blinks rapidly.
You may also see the TEMPO LED blink rapidly. If you push the TEMPO slider to its middle position, the TEMPO LED
will go solid, meaning there is no change in tempo. Push the TEMPO slider up or down and you will see its LED
blink rapidly. When the TEMPEO LED blinks rapidly, the MIXDOWN track and 4 recorded tracks are at different tempos.
At this point you can press either the RECORD or PLAY buttons. Pressing RECORD jumps you right into Constant
Tempo Mixdown. Pressing PLAY lets you rehearse the Mixdown.
If you are rehearsing the CT Mixdown, you can press the RECORD button at anytime to overdub onto the
MIXDOWN track.
Keep in mind if you already have audio on the Mixdown track, you will want to raise the MIXDOWN fader so that
you do not lose the original audio.
While performing a CT Mixdown, move the TEMPO slider to hear the effects of the off-speed tracks.
To stop recording the CT Mixdown, press the PLAY button and the 2880 will go into Idle mode.
After Constant Tempo Mixdown:
To exit CT Mixdown mode, while the 2880 is Idle, press the MIXDOWN button until its LED shuts off.
Read the “After the Mixdown” section above for more ideas on what to do next.
Outputting MIDI Start and Stop Commands:
Along with sending out MIDI Clock signal to the MIDI OUT jack, the 2880 also sends out MIDI Stop and Start commands.
When a loop begins playing, the 2880 sends out a MIDI Start command. So if the 2880 is idle and you press
either the PLAY or RECORD buttons, it will send out a MIDI Start command. The 2880 also sends out a MIDI Start
command when you press NEW LOOP to enter Record-Ready mode. When in Quantize mode, it sends another MIDI
Start command when you press RECORD to begin the 4-beat count-in.
When you stop a loop and the 2880 goes into idle mode, a MIDI Stop command is sent out. So if the 2880 is playing
a loop and you press either the PLAY or RECORD buttons to stop the loop, it will send out a MIDI Stop command.
