Flexible punch in/out is available on any recording track, allowing the musician to achieve "Looper Perfection" with the 2880. Complex multitrack loops may be created and overlaid in a performance situation with ease

BEST LOOPER OUT THERE
Posted by Jefferstarship from Pittsburgh, PA on Jul 16, 2008
Experience w/product: I own it
Reviewer's Background: Multi-instrumentalist, make own recordings on comp
Reviewer's Play Style: all sorts
This thing is completely easy to use, and functions perfectly. No glitches, no troubles, and the ease of use is amazing.

You can literally have an infinite number of phrases and tracks on this thing. I haven't gotten the foot-pedal yet, but I'm about to. Even without it, recording bass, guitar, and keyboard tracks is easy even though I have to press the button with my hands. This function is awesome: - Fader controls allow you to stack phrases that slowly fade out as more are recorded, you can control how quickly they fade (or keep them all equal volume and stack dozens of phrases) - Also, the reverse function is amazing. You can record, reverse that track and record another track, then flip it back so you have two tracks playing in opposite directions, or the same goes for the octave function.

The only thing I would change about this machine is a LCD display for the tempo in BMP, and a tap tempo button. It just has a slider for the tempo, and no readout, so if you change the tempo, it's very difficult to find its original position and thus difficult to keep new tracks in tune with previous ones once you move the tempo slider. BUT I have a synthesizer with a BPM tempo control, tap tempo button, and a LCD screen, so I can just sync the 2880 to that, problem solved.

Aside from the tempo slider, there's not a thing in the world I would change about this thing. Well, I might add an XLR input with 48v phantom power and a bank of pre-set drum beats, but you can't have everything. The metronome click track is fine for playing. The whole looper is absolutely amazing. The audio quality is great and setting levels, pan left and right, input volume, dry volume and effects volume, it's all really easy to manage and use.

I tried out the Roland RC-50 looper at a music store, and everything they say is true: it's full of glitches. I played it for 5 minutes and every other time I started or stopped a track or re-recorded a track, it gave me this weird feedback and crunching noise, and then wouldn't record the next phrase properly.

DO NOT BUY ANY OTHER LOOP STATION. This thing is completely worth the money, very versatile, and the functions are great. It's the real deal.

Yes, I finally got this unit on the end of my midi link after a roland and a korg sequencer. All are link with the midi clock and running smooth. Best sampler and its changed my entire sound for the better. Much better!

Best Looper

Best looper with midi clock sinc! So awesome! I think the loop length is somewhat limited though and its time when sincing to an external clock doesn't seems to be adjustable and it loops to fast but it sends a solid clock out.

This thing has become the core of my songwriting methods. When I'm not using it, I wish I was using it. With Its pitch-bending tempo control, it has surpassed anything BOSS has put out In sheer expressive capability. I am greatly disturbed at the lack of attention this thing has gotten.

Great Looper
Posted by David H from New York, NY on Nov 29, 2006
Experience w/product: I own it
Reviewer's Background: Hobbyist and Semi-Active musician for 7 years
Reviewer's Play Style: Mostly Rock, Jazz, Funk, Alternative
This looper is all that one could ever want in a looper. It has 4 tracks and supports an infinite amount of overdubs. The reverse function on it is really cool; you can play solos backwards! It is pretty intuitive to use, it took me a few minutes to figure out all of the controls. The only two drawbacks are 1) it does not support multiple loops on one cf card 2) it does not come with the footcontroller, which is essential if one plans on doing anything live. Other than those, this is an amazing piece of equipment.
