Electro-Harmonix 2880 Has Us Feeling Loopy
PROMO GIRLS: You're watching Gearwire.Com.
ELECTRO-HARMONIX REPRESENTATIVE: Okay. So continuing with the demonstration, I will now demonstrate this beautiful gem right here which is the Electro-Harmonix 2880 Looper. This is a stereo digital multi-track looper and I would begin by selecting a new loop and I will get a four count. I have quantize on, and it'll give me a count before I start doing a loop. One, two, three, four.

There you go. So we finished up to the last bar, and automatically it goes to track number two, overdubbing.

And now I'm going to go stereo. Probably with another microphone you capture the stereo environment, and at any moment in time I can pan the tracks. I can continue to overdub. This is the third track. I think I want to create a bass line. Okay, we aren't punched yet. Okay, I've got that [SOUNDS LIKE] pretty soft when I punched in. I'm going to punch in. Here we go.

There you go. Okay let's say I have three tracks that I mixed together, and I want to do a bounce, I want to do a mixdown. So I start the mixdown track, press record and bounce tracks one, two, three, and four into a stereo mixdown track. There you go. As you can see, all has been mixed and I can free these four tracks and start recording again, or I can do a very cool thing which is a constant tempo mixdown which disengages the synchronization between these four tracks and the mixdown track. Let me show this to you. Yeah.

I cam [INDISCERNIBLE]. The reason why is I can move the speed of these.
[ELECTRO-HARMONIX REPRESENTATIVE MANIPULATING SPEED OF TRACKS IN THE ELECTRO-HARMONIX 2880]
I can play with this tempo, but the mixdown tracks' tempo remains constant. So, the moment I disengage [INDISCERNIBLE] from its normal tempo, I'll create flanging. And since it has MIDI in and out and it can set and receive MIDI clock which means I can hook it up with a drum machine or sync it with another [INDISCERNIBLE] MIDI. Okay, so let's see. We have a drum sound. I guess what we can do now is I'm going to [INDISCERNIBLE] this down.

Oh, and if I want a smaller version of the 20 -- of the Metal Muff, I have the Micro Metal Muff and the Pocket Metal Muff. Let's try soloing with that.

That can slowly fade away with confidence. Thanks to the [SOUNDS LIKE] hum people here, and these have been the Four Horsemen of Rock & Roll. It has been a pleasure to demo for you.
