World-Class Sounds
A remarkable new collection of top-quality, custom sounds
was created for the DR-880. But we didnít stop there;
some of the most famous sounds from our renowned SRX
library were added to the DR-880ís sound-set, as well
as electric and synth bass sounds. From rich, sparkling
studio drums and deep-dish electronic kits to standard
and exotic percussion instruments, a world of rhythm
and groove is at your fingertips.
EZ Compose
You can get microscopic with the DR-880, but you also
have the option of taking the simple route with its
three EZ Compose buttons on the front panel, which allow
original patterns to be constructed without note-by-note
programming hassles. Using the Pattern mode, you can
select and combine pre-programmed phrase combinations
to create new patterns. Press the Chord Progression
button to select chord-progression templates. With the
Fill-In button, you can select phrases from the Fill-In
library, and insert them into the pattern. The library
contains a variety of phrases, ranging from simple fills
to bombastic breaks.
Groove Modify
Take your grooves even deeper with the Groove Modify
feature, which applies various groove and triplet feels
to your patterns. Simply select the templates that are
included, and inject realistic feels to static patterns.
Ghost notes can also be added automatically by selecting
the ghost-note phrases that are preset in the DR-880.
Direct Guitar/Bass Input
Guitar and bass players can join the action by plugging
directly into the DR-880ís Guitar/Bass Input jack. Guitarists
can play through the built-in COSM Drive/Amp models,
and multi-effects such as chorus/flanger/phaser, delay,
and reverb. For acoustic guitar, the DR-880 offers an
Acoustic Processor, chorus, and reverb. For bass players,
the compressor/limiter, chorus/flanger/phaser, delay,
and COSM bass amp models will help you cook up extra-tasty
bass lines.
Connectivity
Play through headphones or route your signal from the
DR-880 directly to your choice of recording input or
amplification, including outboard guitar amps. Quick
output adjustments can be made in the Output Select
mode to facilitate proper connection to the outside
world. Two individual Outs allow independent output
of backing tracks and guitars, or independent output
of kick and snare. The DR-880 has two stereo footswitch/controller
inputs; a maximum of four footswitches can be connected
using stereo
1/4" cables (sold separately). One of the footswitch
/ controller jacks supports expression pedal input,
so you can connect an EV-5 (sold separately) to control
guitar volume, or play wah effects. The DR-880 also
has a S/PDIF digital out and a USB port for MIDI interfacing
and SMF Data import.
