Quick Start Guide

How to Record a Multi-Track Loop:
1. Plug your instrument into either the LEFT or RIGHT Inputs and adjust the corresponding Input Knob so
that the Clip LED (Light Emitting Diode) barely lights up on your loudest notes.
2. Connect the LEFT and/or RIGHT Outputs to an amplifier or mixer.
3. Raise the DRY OUT Fader so that you can hear your instrument.
4. If you are using Headphones, turn up the HEADPHONE knob.
5. Make sure the QUANTIZE LED is off.
6. If you do not want to hear the CLIX metronome, turn the CLIX LEVEL knob down to zero.
7. Set the TEMPO slider to 50%.
8. Press the NEW LOOP button to put the 2880 into Record-Ready mode. You should see the RECORD LED
blink rapidly.
9. Press the RECORD button to immediately start recording. Play your instrument. The 2880 will record onto
TRACK 1.
10. When you are finished playing, hit either the RECORD or PLAY button to stop recording. Pressing RECORD
will stop recording and stop the 2880. Hitting PLAY will loop the 2880 back to the beginning, put the 2880
into OVERDUB mode and automatically continue recording onto TRACK 2. To exit OVERDUB mode, press
the RECORD button.
11. Raise the TRACK 1 Fader to hear the track you just recorded.
12. To record on another track, hit the TRACK SELECT button, you will cycle through the 4 tracks. Whichever
track LED is lit, is the track you will record on.
