A Little History
In 1983, Electro-Harmonix released what would become a legendary
and more importantly, revolutionary, musical instrument… the
16
Second Digital Delay . Aside from being the first looper ever invented,
it helped change the way music was created while presenting indi-
vidual musicians with a way to manipulate their creations instantly.
The concept of looping, as we know it today, was an entirely new
dimension in musical expression in 1983 and the 16 Second Delay
was an instant hit.
In 2004, the music public demanded the 16 Second’s re-release,
and it once again became an all-time classic.
The Legacy Continues
The uniqueness of the 45000 is the ability to layer multiple
tracks and manipulate them. A special mix down track
allows you to create a spatial stereo pair while freeing
up previous tracks to add more instruments. Very com-
plex interactive tracks can be completed quickly with
the ability to sound unique and totally original. This is
a very spontaneous instrument.
The Electro-Harmonix 45000 records at the industry
CD standard of 44.1 kHz /16 bit uncompressed
digital audio. What you record is what you get,
without the degradation or artifacts that com-
pressed audio usually presents.
Building upon the original concept of the 16
Second Delay, while taking into consideration
the demand for more complex possibilities, the
45000 is more of everything. True world stan-
dard audio fidelity, as much creative time as
any musician would need, and an ease of use
that is instantly familiar.
The 45000 uses world-class audio converters,
while offering uniformity in syncing and inte-
gration with any user’s current equipment.
Introduction
Storage is on popular and easy to obtain SDHC flash
cards that range from 4 to 32 gigabytes. All audio files
may be downloaded to your computer for backup as well
restoring to the 45000 for use at a later time. Additionally
musicians can import their own audio files and play them
back or manipulate them on the 45000 as if the 45000
itself recorded the files.
Electro-Harmonix then followed up in 2006 with the 2880 Super Multi-
Track Looper. It has since become a mainstay for many serious looping
enthusiasts, whether used on stage or in the studio. The 2880 was a
powerful and interactive instrument following a traditional recording
layout, so it felt instantly familiar. However, there were significant dif-
ferences that go well beyond the recording world. At the very least it
was a multi-track recorder but when viewed as a whole, it was a multi-
faceted performance instrument with significant advantages in both
live performance and as a personal recording instrument.
The
45000 Multi-Track Looping Recorder takes the 2880 and builds
upon it, adding key features such as the ability to store and recall up
to 100 loops on one SD card and an output dedicated to monitoring.
