I got 5 years of university education , but found the manually programming of fcb1010 to be more challenging .... that software was a life saver , thank you for the effort!!!!
The best .... without a solution after much searching, wish I came here first. Couldnt have been better, completely up and running. Thank you so much for this wonderful and necessary accompaniment to FCB1010. ....my issue complicated with Uno 1.0.4 chip but again, fully up and running, thanks again !!
Outstanding lessons! I abandoned the pedal for many years after using it with a Yamaha DG-80 Amp for guitar. Basically to select a preset of the amp. Last week I got back to my Line-6 POD HD500X and tried to do the same. The bid difference is, the HD500X has 8 banks that has 16 presets (divided into 1A,1B 1C 1d then 2A, 2B....16D). The HD500X uses about 10 footswitch and knobs. The presets can be programmed on PC via USB. Everything is not hard, EXCEPT 1 thing. The View of jumbo number can't be toggled back to show big fully legible from sitting or standing position. I have to bend down or kneel down with the guitar on my shoulder. It's the pain. So I got back to FBC-1010. Plugged it into the HD500X and started testing. It worked on few switces Then the PC CRASHED. I started looking on web and someone suggested FCB-1010. If you and anyone had instruction, please let me knows. Thanks a lot. What I have seen today is plenty already but more specific technics will be great. PS: I will try to insert only Midi-out from FCB-1010 to HD500X Midi-in and see if the Crash disappears.
This tutorial is a life saver! I've spent 4 hours so far waisting time with other people, their heavy breathing, studdering, camera shakes, etc just to understand this. Great production, excellent quality, direct and right to the point. I look forward to watching the other vids in this playlist. I'm really surprised this isn't the go-to channel for the FCB1010, it was actually kind of hard to find. I just happened to come across it. I'm really hoping this channel really takes off! You just got a sub outta me! Keep up the excellent work!
I agree with you. I hate videos that take too long not getting to the point and wasting people's time. Will this work as Blue Tooth? It looks like midi only.
The real FCB1010 does not have built-in bluetooth transmitter and receiver. You would probably need an a separate wireless. I've never tried it myself, so not sure if it'll work.
Yes something like that. I guess my concern would be the latency. I use the FCB1010 to change presets and sounds in real time, so when i hit a switch, the preset has to change instantly or else it worn't work. For transmitting back up files, latency won't be a problem.
Bought this thing ages ago around when it first came out. Took one look at the manual, which might as well been written in martian as far as figuring out how it works, and has been in the closet ever since. Nowadays I'd like to try using it with a DAW even if for simple play, stop & record.
good luck. got mine today and nothing in any of the videos is the same as how mine operates. when it says certain things should be lit, they aren't. makes it really useless in setting it up for ableton sadly.
@@jonnyfranc5375 That would be my guess. I know they had disappeared from most of the online retailers for a short bit and just came back. could be a new revision. My guess is in time it will do the job, I just gotta sit down with it.
Well, had a 4 month delay before could get back to this project. Rewatched the video several times dowloaded the Manager program as instructed no problem, followed the video and loaded 100 presets for my sound module KETRON SD2 Orchestral Wizard. I imput the module manul's CC 00 into CNT 1 as 0 and Val 1 put in value 0 or 1 or 10 correspoinding to voice banks a, b, and c on the module . Set EXP A to 7 for volume min 0 max 127 and EXP B dto 1 min 1 max 50 hooked up MIO i Connect and got it all sent over to the FCB1010, it said done in seconds (?) a little too quick I thought, then I turned all off, plugged in my CASIO P380 synth guitar to the module and was very surprised that nothing changed!! It all worked just like it did when I bought the pedal board after first watching these videos! In other words straight out of box the A pedal did nothing and the B pedal ( that now should be modulation) was still the volume pedal. I got the same sounds as before 1-100 from the list for the module out of Voice Bank A that has CC 00 and Value 0. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would just reset the unit back to the default factory settings and then reprogram the pedal. You can even dump the data in FCB1010 Manager and see what's assigned to the expression pedal.
thank you very much, I will try " dump the data in FCB1010 Manager and see what's assigned to the expression pedal...." That sound excellent. If by "reset the unit back to the default factory settings" you mean the KETRON SD2 I don't think you can. Manual says nothing, company in Italy no longer seems to support it. and it's just a little box with ins and outs an LED and a volume slider. Sounds I DO get are very cool though. Great string instruments, saxes and Miles Davis trumpet..
Yep! You pretty much bypass all that switch pressing drama. It’s nice to be able to program manually for small changes but for everything else this is perfect.
Hi Mario. Yes it's an amazing program indeed! It only supports the factory FCB1010. It doesn't support 3rd party EPROMS such as UNO at this time. I've been using it and it's awesome!
Hi, I have a question. I use the Behringer FCB with an eureka prom. Is it possible to use this program with it? I know that the uno prom, as you mentioned, does not work. Thanks for your answer. And yes, this video is very good!
Thanks for your instruction! Is there a way we can program the FCB1010 to play the chords on the Yamaha PSR, so and can play the styles for the backing track while I solo on the guitar? Could you please help? Thanks in advance!
That would be a Yamaha PSR question. Does that particular Device even support that feature? Can it be controlled remotely in this particular way? If yes, what are the midi commands associated with it? Without that info, it’d be hard to answer the question. Hopefully a PSR user could chime in.
I have FCB1010. I don´t want to have programchange. Only snippets on our BehringerX32 mixer and this is midi channel 2 on the mixer. Can you make a simple film about this configuration. Snippets on the mixer is 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06 and so on
Okay, so I can follow the procedure well enough. But I am wondering if this device will do what I need it to do. I am told that it will connect to a Boss Katana Mk2, which is what I have. The GA-FC footswitch for the Katana will allow you to turn on and off your various effects groups; Boost, Mod, FX, Delay, etc. But I cannot use it to turn on and off individual effects. If my Mod group is set to the chorus, I can turn that one and off. But I can't switch it to anything else in that group such as a phaser or flanger. Can this be done with the FCB1010? i.e. can one button be programmed to turn the chorus on and off, another to turn the phaser on and off, another to turn the wah expression pedal on and off, and another to turn one of the delays on and off? The problem with the GA-FC footswitch is that the mod effects button can only do the Mod effects group. I can't program another button to do the same group but a different effect. Can I do that with the FCB1010?
Thanks! This software is strictly made to program the FCB1010. That’s all it does. So you would need to study the midi specifications for your device and then use this software to enter those numbers into the FCB1010 hardware. Now if you have specific Kantana head questions, I highly recommend that you join the FCB1010 Facebook group. There’s always someone who owns the same device.
Hello; I just bought a FCB101 and want to set it up/ program it to work with my new Hughes and Kettner Black Spirit Combo Amplifier; TO BOTH Select 5 Presets (using FCB10101 buttons 1-5) and also turn 4-5 Amp Effects & Parameters On and Off (using Buttons FCB1010 ) and also controlling Amp Volume and Delay Volume (usiing FCB1010 Expression Pedal 1 & 2). THIS Program seems like it would save tons of time! But my 1st questions is; after you download this PROGRAM on your Computer; how does this program "communicate with your FCB1010". Aka do you use a wire? And which type of wire? And how/where do you plug in into the FCB1010???! (And any other tips) Thanks!
Hey, do you know if it's possible to get the not Stomp Box mode pedals to to perform CC functions without having to press them twice (with Uno installed)? I am having the worst time trying to get it to happen over here. I can get say, Pedal 6 on Bank 01 (not stomp box) to switch the CC I want to, but only after hitting the pedal once, then once again to get the command to send. I thought the only chip solved this with toggle mode? Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
I don't have UNO so I can't comment on that, but if you haven't tried the Facebook group already, you should totally join. There are many members who have UNO installed. Check the description for the link.
I don’t remember the details about everything, as it’s been years since I’ve recorded this video. You’re gonna have to view the video to see how it works.
Help needed! I programmed only Notes value and left the control value neutral in bank 1 so that I could midi map the looper in Ableton. But then when I played the keys, those notes were not played and didn't produced sound because those notes were mapped in the FCB1010. Is there a way that I could map the same notes value and also play the keys over same notes? Thank you for the help in advance.
I followed all the steps but it doesn't work. It's seem like FCB1010 manager cannot send the configuration to fcb1010. When I check at 23min38s like in your video, I still have the default configuration. I check and I have firmware 2.5
@@InTheMixReviews This is certainly due to the cheap usb-midi cable that I use. On the Behringer website it is mentioned that some cheap interfaces were unable to transfer data during programming.
@@InTheMixReviews For the moment this is the only cable I have on hand. I'll try later to confirm. But I followed the other video and I was able to program manually
@@InTheMixReviews A ridiculous thing, the cable, it is so bad that when the computer is connected to charge, it does not work, it does not route the information from the controller to amplitube. I thought it was Amplitube that was buggy, I reinstalled, I thought it was my FCB1010, but it's new. I accidentally unplugged the computer from the charge and it worked again, I plugged it back in and it no longer works.
Ok rebooted the FCB1010 to factory settings and that did let me send all the saved messages I entered into the Manager into the pedal, as I then checked it by dumping it back. However, the pedal B is the volume pedal and Pedal A does nothing, still. and then I tried the synth guitar and still no effect from just using the pedal strait into the module, so I made sure pedal was set to receive on channel 1 just like the guitar is set and still nothing. May be something about the signal from the guitar. Its says you can control other MIDI sources besides the on board synth module but noticed if I acciddentaly hit one of the onboard buttons the sound changes to somthing else. Also if I hit a command pedal on the FCB1010 I randomly get a second sound. Also if I use a choose a sound on the FCB1010 that matches an complex orchestral sound from the KETRON SD2 too quickly from a previous sound it will go into loopin feedback until I turn of the KETRON.... Well, heck, like I said before , with the FCB1010just out of the box I was getting the first 100 sounds in order off the KETRON but there are about 900 on there, some of which I may like.. will rewatch all your videos on the subject.
As far as the USB to PC MIDI adapter goes, being each MIDI cable on it is marked "IN" on one and "OUT" on the other, do they go in the same marked ports on the fcb 1010 or opposite? I saw in some video, where some other application, he put the "IN" to the "OUT" of his device and so on. What should the protocol be for the cables on the adapter, to the FCB 1010? Ultimately, I'm connecting FCB 1010 with my Korg Kronos and the PC. I'll be using the editor from Mountain Utilities.
Yes, they do go in the same marked ports on any midi device. So if one of the jacks on the midi cable/adapter is marked as MIDI IN, it will have to be connected to the MIDI IN port of the target midi device. That's the cable/adapter connection. I think you're confusing this with actual connectors on 2 different midi devices (not to be confused with marked jacks on a midi cable). Let's say you want to connect the FCB1010 directly to Kronos or whatever. The MIDI OUT jack(connector) of the FCB1010 needs to be connected to the MIDI IN connector of the Kronos. Essentially, you're pressing a pedal on the FCB1010, the midi signal travels OUT of the FCB1010 (MIDI OUT) into the MIDI IN port of the receiving target device ...in this case a Korg Kronos. So in that case, you always connect the midi out to the midi in. Maybe I misunderstood your question?
@@InTheMixReviews I think I got it, but if both the IN and OUT of the USB MIDI adapter are going into the FCB 1010 (to use the PC editor), how can I connect the FCB 1010 to the Kronos at the same time? (all 3 devices connect). There doesn't seem to be enough MIDI ports. What the configuration be? Sorry, I never could get the whole idea of MIDI in my head straight. What I'll be doing is controlling the Kronos from the FCB 1010, creating the settings by means of the PC editor program.
@@salmonella4u So the PC editor is only sending the programming info to the FCB. In other words, you only need to connect the MIDI IN jack of the FCB 1010. If you want to send sysex messages from the FCB 1010 back to the computer, than you will connect the MIDI OUT jack. This will take care of the computer/FCB 1010 connection. Does this answer part of the question?
@@InTheMixReviews Then from there, will it be from the OUT of the FBC 1010 to the Kronos IN? Then that should be all I need to know. Ultimately connecting all three.
@@salmonella4u Yes, but that brings me to the next question. Why do you want these 3 to be connected in the first place? After all the FCB 1010 is the master controlling the Kronos and not the editor. Once you have the FCB programmed, there's no need for the FCB 1010 to be connected to the computer at all.
Hi I am programming my FCB1010 with mainstage 3. I did follow all instructions not sure it's not working. Please help I have downloaded FCB manager. I am really about to give up and throw my FCB in trash.
It's hard to troubleshoot in the comment section. Have you joined the Facebook FCB1010 group? That would be a much better place to have a group discussion.
How can I use my newly bought FCB1010 with Amplitube 4 in my windows 10 PC? The User Manual is so complicated. Is there any easy way out there? I saw some editor videos but not sure which one should I use? Any help is much appreciated.
Hello, I am trying to run FCB1010 on mac but nothing happen. I am connecting the pedal board through a MIDI to USB cable, but I don't understand why I can't midi map with Ableton Live 10. If you have a sys file to configure the FCB1010 would be great. I don't know what else to do.
how can i program a single preset to hit 2 different midi devices with different addresses? my effects processor on midi channel 1 and amp on midi channel 2? i'd like to be able to send separate PC messages to each device based on a single preset press.
You posted the same question under the FCB1010 Full Video Manual, and I responded: "If you have the stock e-prom you might want to review this section of the video @35:37 (midi assignment)." Did you do that?
Hi I would like to just program the fcb1010 to select user instruments , so each pedal number would be assigned to a user instrument/sound. is that possible ??
The question should be, what are the midi commends used to select those presets remotely. If your target device responds to those commands then you program the FCB accordingly. I recommend that you watch my other fcb1010 video.
Can I use this editor to send the following data out of the FCB? 11111010 This is a real-time midi message, and I'm aware that the FCB1010 cannot send real time messages, but is there a hack where I can send multiple controller messages to generate this chunk of data? Background - I'm trying to use the FCB with a Novation Circuit. The Circuit contains a sequencer and I'm using the FCB to select sessions on the Circuit. Each session contains a song segment, l like session 64 is the first verse, session 65 is the first chorus. It all works fine... except I can't START the song (the first session's sequencer) with the FCB, as the Circuit, and most all midi hardware sequencers, only start and stop via real-time messages, which the FCB1010 does not send. But I believe it can be hacked to send the data: 11111010 Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, because I'd like to get back to writing this song, and stop wondering about the most and least significant bits of midi messages!
I don't think you can, as you can only use this software to program the FCB1010 hardware. In other words, instead of programming the hardware pedal manually, you would use this to manage your presets and things of that nature. As far as the pedal itself, I have a separate video for that. I've used FCB1010 to control arranger keyboards. They're also sequenced based but in a different way. Every sequence (variation) CAN be triggered with a single PC message in real time. So what is this string of data 11111010 exactly? Is it possible to use PC change messages to trigger sequences instead?
I'm trying to change the FCB1010's buttons from PC's to CC's. In the software I set "CNT 1" from 1 incrementally up to 100. Value for all left at 0 and didn't change anything else. When I try to send that to the FCB1010, the config light doesn't go off for one second as it's supposed to. Something else flashed quickly. I saved it, but then nothing on the FCB1010 seems to do anything... This video says to unplug the cable going to MIDI OUT when sending from computer to FCB1010, the program says unplug the other cable... but I've tried both. Not sure what I'm doing wrong... maybe everything? I need to get the FCB1010 to send control change messages rather than program change messages as I was told that would be better for switching instruments (PC changes from the FCB1010 don't seem to work).
Sorry, just saw this post. Did it figure out the issue? As far as the midi connections go, it's recommended that you unplug the MIDI OUT (on the hardware), if you're sending data from the computer to the FCB1010. If you're sending data from the hardware pedal to the computer, you unplug the MIDI IN on the pedal. This way you won't experience any type of midi feedback. It's just a precaution.
Hello again, ok now this seems like it will make it super easy! Additional question. So if I am programing "bank A" for my module that contains the 128 PCs do I then name and save that file i.e. bank A on the manager, then program the next "bank B" also 128 on to the manager. Then load the set of banks I am going to use that day on the FCB1010 from the manager , say bank B, then if I need bank A delete the settings from the pedals and load the next bank etc... or can I just leave the manager on the whole time and pick and choose?
With FCB1010 Manager everything is going to be super fast and easy. First of all when you're programming FCB1010 Manager (software editor) you don' t have to be connected to the real FCB1010. At this point, you're only putting entries into the program. It's kind of like using Microsoft Word. You don't need to be connected to a printer in order to write and save a document on the computer so it's the same concept here. The only time you want to have a working connection is when you want to "send" or "receive" a SysEx file which is how the FCB1010 sends or accepts data. As far as making entries for various banks? It's totally up to you. If you program one single PC message, that's what the FCB1010 will receive. If you program 3 banks each with various presets, that's what the FCB1010 is going to get as well. Say you use the editor to program Bank 1 for Bank A of your midi device. Give it a descriptive name and same the file on your computer. Later on you decide you want to add more entries to THAT set up file. Just load/import that particular set up file that you've already saved and add to it. You can either save this as a new set up file or just overwrite the original set up file. If you send this set up file to the real FCB1010, this new modified set up will overwrite the current set up on the hardware. So now you'll have the updated setup on the pedal. Let me know if I misunderstood the question?
No, I think you got it. Of course I just realized I was making it harder than it was. My weird brain somehow got on a track that I needed to put all the possible MIDI files at my fingertips any time. That is absurd of me! When will I need in a composition to call up Cello> Shakuhashi> Banjo> Glokenspiel> Sitar!?! All I need to do is set up a pedal configuration choosing what I think will use and then if that changes modify my file or as you say just call up the file I have saved on the editor and reconfigure the pedal. Yikes! as my father said: " Ignorance can be cured, but stupid is terminal" ha ha!! Thank you very much and thank you for a great service you do. I think Behringer needs to give you a cut because this set of videos should help sales!!!
ha ha ha...You should see my failed DIY home projects! Yeah I've been using the editor for a while and no problem so far. The fact that you can actually see EVERYTHING inside a setup file helps a lot. You can give a descriptive name to each preset as well as a bank so as long as you keep those 2 files together (as mentioned in the video) you'll be able to see all your notes for a given set and take it from there. Use it a few time and you'll know what I mean. In the mean time don't hesitate to post questions, as they could help others as well.

this is great, one Q: I'm trying to load an artist's shared & mapped settings as a .fcb file and can't figure it out. He instructed to 'upload the (.fxb) template file into the software, then transfer the embedded sysex file to the pedal' - I can;t seem to upload the .fcb file - how can I do that please?
there was another file that was in fact the .syx file but it was missing the file extension! added it manually and it worked, just in case anyone had the same issue
It looks interesting. I got in touch with them a few months ago. It seems like a nice pedal, though they market it for Guitarists primarily. I didn't look up the details to see how powerful the midi programming features are.
I'm not sure if I understand the question correctly. You do NOT and can NOT connect FCB1010 Manager software to your DAW at all. This software is strictly an editor to be used with the FCB1010 hardware pedal.
If you want to control a programmable function(s) remotely using a button or any number of buttons on this pedal, you would need to assign the relevant parameters. If you only assign a note, that’s all that button is going to send. If you assign 3 parameters, that button will send out 3, right? by the way, if you’re kind of new to the FCB1010, I strongly recommend that you watch the main tutorial just to have a better grasp on the whole thing and then using the editor will make a lot of sense.
I mean, when I use exp pedal B that is not working in all preset configuration or global configuration , but when I calibrating the signal exp B is on calibrating it is working, may I know the solution? thank you
@@madewirasa2661 Now I understand. Are you sure 'for certain' that when you move Pedal B nothing gets transmitted at all? Have you checked the midi output with a software? Also what exactly are you trying to control with pedal B? What is it assigned to do?
This software is simply a computer based editor for the FCB1010 hardware. Instead of spending a lot of time programming the unit manually, you can use this editor to manage things a lot faster. That's all there's to it. I don't know anything about Bias Fx 2 unfortunately to be able to make a specific comment. Try the FCB1010 Facebook group, if you want feedback from Bias FX users. To answer your question though, if the stock FCB1010 is not compatible with your unit in a certain way, this editor won't make that problem go away.
Ended up buying one second hand for 40 euros with all the cables, setting it up with this nice program just as someone said in this post: forum.positivegrid.com/topic/2655/help-with-fcb1010-and-bias-fx2 Best investment in a long time, the sound options are endless. For the cc signals you just have to set on the cnt 1 and choose a value for controller to choose the cc number. You can also set the tap tempo, looper... And use the expression pedals for wah and volume. Hope this helps somebody, if you have any question just ask me. Cheers.
When I open the manager it defaults to the first and only saved setup file I have made for the Ketron SD2. How do I start and scave a fresh set up file so I can set the FCB1010 for another module i.e. one for my Kurtweil Micro Piano one for my Roland M-OC1 Orchestra Sund Expansion module. I assumed would just hit FILE and find NEW llike in WORD but do not see that option. By the way have you had chance to try FCB1010 with your Ketron SD1000 ?
I haven't got a chance to work on the SD1000. How do you start a fresh set up? There's a restart option under the file menu. I think I covered that towards the end of this video. (25:00 ish)
@@InTheMixReviews Thanks. Is there a way to convert the sysex (or whatever the "F0 41..." is) to MIDI so that the FCB can send the equivalent MIDI message?

It’s baffling… I got the iPad app FCBFF, and same thing, all the connections are right, but not getting transmitted… so I don’t think it’s anything “mac”… I think I’m following the directions correctly, all the “Hold the DOWN button and turn on the power, etc… should the 7 (SYSEX RCV) button LED be flashing when I do this? I’m waiting for it to go off when I send to the FCB1010, but that never happens…
It’s been a long time since I’ve done this. I think there’s a section in this video where you can test the connection. If that test is not passing, then clearly something’s wrong.
@@InTheMixReviews OK, solution has been found, everything is working correctly now. The problem was in my MIDI setup, and since you have a very detailed explanation of that process for Windows, but NOT for Mac, there was no way for me to know to do it. Through lots of searching through menus, and lots of trial and error, I found the problem with my MIDI setup, and corrected it. SYSEX save and load are now working fine. You should get someone familiar with Macs to do the MIDI setup portion of the tutorial for Mac.
@@gtrgeorge348 Just saw the comment right now. Glad you were able to find the issue. Well, the purpose of this video is not the midi set up for mac or even pc. That would be a totally different tutorial, because, it would be the same for all software. It tried to include as much info as possible. Glad you got it working nonetheless.
Check the description above for additional links and useful information.
I got 5 years of university education , but found the manually programming of fcb1010 to be more challenging .... that software was a life saver , thank you for the effort!!!!
Thanks to me, even high school dropouts can now use the FCB1010! 😂
Hello, i just purchased this. So you mean, I don’t need to upgrade the chip? I will use for MainStage3 and Logic X. Thanks!
Lol glad I'm not alone in this. Such a needlessly complicated setup.
It is an awkward set up indeed!
The best .... without a solution after much searching, wish I came here first. Couldnt have been better, completely up and running. Thank you so much for this wonderful and necessary accompaniment to FCB1010. ....my issue complicated with Uno 1.0.4 chip but again, fully up and running, thanks again !!
Outstanding lessons! I abandoned the pedal for many years after using it with a Yamaha DG-80 Amp for guitar. Basically to select a preset of the amp. Last week I got back to my Line-6 POD HD500X and tried to do the same. The bid difference is, the HD500X has 8 banks that has 16 presets (divided into 1A,1B 1C 1d then 2A, 2B....16D). The HD500X uses about 10 footswitch and knobs. The presets can be programmed on PC via USB. Everything is not hard, EXCEPT 1 thing. The View of jumbo number can't be toggled back to show big fully legible from sitting or standing position. I have to bend down or kneel down with the guitar on my shoulder. It's the pain.
So I got back to FBC-1010. Plugged it into the HD500X and started testing. It worked on few switces Then the PC CRASHED. I started looking on web and someone suggested FCB-1010. If you and anyone had instruction, please let me knows. Thanks a lot. What I have seen today is plenty already but more specific technics will be great.
PS: I will try to insert only Midi-out from FCB-1010 to HD500X Midi-in and see if the Crash disappears.

The best tutorial on this site. You really helped a lot.
“The Riverdance”…that’s awesome and so are you! Thank you!!
This tutorial is a life saver! I've spent 4 hours so far waisting time with other people, their heavy breathing, studdering, camera shakes, etc just to understand this. Great production, excellent quality, direct and right to the point. I look forward to watching the other vids in this playlist. I'm really surprised this isn't the go-to channel for the FCB1010, it was actually kind of hard to find. I just happened to come across it. I'm really hoping this channel really takes off! You just got a sub outta me! Keep up the excellent work!
Thank you very much Miko. Glad you were able to use the video. I'll definitely add more FCB1010 content in the future.
I agree with you. I hate videos that take too long not getting to the point and wasting people's time. Will this work as Blue Tooth? It looks like midi only.
The real FCB1010 does not have built-in bluetooth transmitter and receiver. You would probably need an a separate wireless. I've never tried it myself, so not sure if it'll work.
Yes something like that. I guess my concern would be the latency. I use the FCB1010 to change presets and sounds in real time, so when i hit a switch, the preset has to change instantly or else it worn't work. For transmitting back up files, latency won't be a problem.
I see what you mean In The mix.
Bought this thing ages ago around when it first came out. Took one look at the manual, which might as well been written in martian as far as figuring out how it works, and has been in the closet ever since. Nowadays I'd like to try using it with a DAW even if for simple play, stop & record.
good luck. got mine today and nothing in any of the videos is the same as how mine operates. when it says certain things should be lit, they aren't. makes it really useless in setting it up for ableton sadly.
@@JaredGritzmaker Could depend on what rom version perhaps?
@@jonnyfranc5375 That would be my guess. I know they had disappeared from most of the online retailers for a short bit and just came back. could be a new revision. My guess is in time it will do the job, I just gotta sit down with it.

Well, had a 4 month delay before could get back to this project. Rewatched the video several times dowloaded the Manager program as instructed no problem, followed the video and loaded 100 presets for my sound module KETRON SD2 Orchestral Wizard. I imput the module manul's CC 00 into CNT 1 as 0 and Val 1 put in value 0 or 1 or 10 correspoinding to voice banks a, b, and c on the module . Set EXP A to 7 for volume min 0 max 127 and EXP B dto 1 min 1 max 50 hooked up MIO i Connect and got it all sent over to the FCB1010, it said done in seconds (?) a little too quick I thought, then I turned all off, plugged in my CASIO P380 synth guitar to the module and was very surprised that nothing changed!! It all worked just like it did when I bought the pedal board after first watching these videos! In other words straight out of box the A pedal did nothing and the B pedal ( that now should be modulation) was still the volume pedal. I got the same sounds as before 1-100 from the list for the module out of Voice Bank A that has CC 00 and Value 0. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would just reset the unit back to the default factory settings and then reprogram the pedal. You can even dump the data in FCB1010 Manager and see what's assigned to the expression pedal.
thank you very much, I will try " dump the data in FCB1010 Manager and see what's assigned to the expression pedal...." That sound excellent. If by "reset the unit back to the default factory settings" you mean the KETRON SD2 I don't think you can. Manual says nothing, company in Italy no longer seems to support it. and it's just a little box with ins and outs an LED and a volume slider. Sounds I DO get are very cool though. Great string instruments, saxes and Miles Davis trumpet..
Oh no....I meant resetting the FCB1010.
Pure gold, excellent video guys!
Excellent, thank you!
Wish I would've found this earlier lol. Huge time saver.
Yep! You pretty much bypass all that switch pressing drama. It’s nice to be able to program manually for small changes but for everything else this is perfect.
Excellent !!!
So good !!! Thanks
thanks for your work!
so amazing progam and a time and life savier!!!! does it work with the fabric chip of the fcb1010???
Hi Mario. Yes it's an amazing program indeed! It only supports the factory FCB1010. It doesn't support 3rd party EPROMS such as UNO at this time. I've been using it and it's awesome!
Really great thank you.
FYI I have this working just fine on Ubuntu using wine.
Nice! That's good to know. I don't think anyone mentioned it here before.
Hi, I have a question. I use the Behringer FCB with an eureka prom. Is it possible to use this program with it? I know that the uno prom, as you mentioned, does not work.
Thanks for your answer. And yes, this video is very good!
Thank you John. I believe this program only works with the factory chip.
Thanks for your instruction!
Is there a way we can program the FCB1010 to play the chords on the Yamaha PSR, so and can play the styles for the backing track while I solo on the guitar? Could you please help?
Thanks in advance!
That would be a Yamaha PSR question. Does that particular Device even support that feature? Can it be controlled remotely in this particular way? If yes, what are the midi commands associated with it? Without that info, it’d be hard to answer the question. Hopefully a PSR user could chime in.
I have FCB1010. I don´t want to have programchange. Only snippets on our BehringerX32 mixer and this is midi channel 2 on the mixer. Can you make a simple film about this configuration. Snippets on the mixer is 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06 and so on
Okay, so I can follow the procedure well enough. But I am wondering if this device will do what I need it to do. I am told that it will connect to a Boss Katana Mk2, which is what I have. The GA-FC footswitch for the Katana will allow you to turn on and off your various effects groups; Boost, Mod, FX, Delay, etc. But I cannot use it to turn on and off individual effects. If my Mod group is set to the chorus, I can turn that one and off. But I can't switch it to anything else in that group such as a phaser or flanger. Can this be done with the FCB1010? i.e. can one button be programmed to turn the chorus on and off, another to turn the phaser on and off, another to turn the wah expression pedal on and off, and another to turn one of the delays on and off? The problem with the GA-FC footswitch is that the mod effects button can only do the Mod effects group. I can't program another button to do the same group but a different effect. Can I do that with the FCB1010?
Hi, wonderful video! Will this software work to control a katana 100 head mark 2? Thank you
Thanks! This software is strictly made to program the FCB1010. That’s all it does. So you would need to study the midi specifications for your device and then use this software to enter those numbers into the FCB1010 hardware. Now if you have specific Kantana head questions, I highly recommend that you join the FCB1010 Facebook group. There’s always someone who owns the same device.
@@InTheMixReviews thank you very much! I'll join the Facebook group then
Hello; I just bought a FCB101 and want to set it up/ program it to work with my new Hughes and Kettner Black Spirit Combo Amplifier; TO BOTH Select 5 Presets (using FCB10101 buttons 1-5) and also turn 4-5 Amp Effects & Parameters On and Off (using Buttons FCB1010 ) and also controlling Amp Volume and Delay Volume (usiing FCB1010 Expression Pedal 1 & 2). THIS Program seems like it would save tons of time! But my 1st questions is; after you download this PROGRAM on your Computer; how does this program "communicate with your FCB1010". Aka do you use a wire? And which type of wire? And how/where do you plug in into the FCB1010???! (And any other tips) Thanks!
Hi Dave, I’ve covered all that in this video. I’ve even showed examples of sending data both ways
Hey, do you know if it's possible to get the not Stomp Box mode pedals to
to perform CC functions without having to press them twice (with Uno
installed)? I am having the worst time trying to get it to happen over
here. I can get say, Pedal 6 on Bank 01 (not stomp box) to switch the CC
I want to, but only after hitting the pedal once, then once again to
get the command to send. I thought the only chip solved this with toggle
mode? Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
I don't have UNO so I can't comment on that, but if you haven't tried the Facebook group already, you should totally join. There are many members who have UNO installed. Check the description for the link.
what if i click on the soft FCB1010 button and it only displays one button and not the. whole pedal
I don’t remember the details about everything, as it’s been years since I’ve recorded this video. You’re gonna have to view the video to see how it works.
Help needed!
I programmed only Notes value and left the control value neutral in bank 1 so that I could midi map the looper in Ableton. But then when I played the keys, those notes were not played and didn't produced sound because those notes were mapped in the FCB1010. Is there a way that I could map the same notes value and also play the keys over same notes? Thank you for the help in advance.
I followed all the steps but it doesn't work. It's seem like FCB1010 manager cannot send the configuration to fcb1010. When I check at 23min38s like in your video, I still have the default configuration. I check and I have firmware 2.5
Not sure why would that be. I used it many times then. No issues!
@@InTheMixReviews This is certainly due to the cheap usb-midi cable that I use. On the Behringer website it is mentioned that some cheap interfaces were unable to transfer data during programming.
But did you try another cable?
@@InTheMixReviews For the moment this is the only cable I have on hand. I'll try later to confirm. But I followed the other video and I was able to program manually
@@InTheMixReviews A ridiculous thing, the cable, it is so bad that when the computer is connected to charge, it does not work, it does not route the information from the controller to amplitube. I thought it was Amplitube that was buggy, I reinstalled, I thought it was my FCB1010, but it's new. I accidentally unplugged the computer from the charge and it worked again, I plugged it back in and it no longer works.
Thing sucks I hit send and the 1010 just powers off
Ok rebooted the FCB1010 to factory settings and that did let me send all the saved messages I entered into the Manager into the pedal, as I then checked it by dumping it back. However, the pedal B is the volume pedal and Pedal A does nothing, still. and then I tried the synth guitar and still no effect from just using the pedal strait into the module, so I made sure pedal was set to receive on channel 1 just like the guitar is set and still nothing. May be something about the signal from the guitar. Its says you can control other MIDI sources besides the on board synth module but noticed if I acciddentaly hit one of the onboard buttons the sound changes to somthing else. Also if I hit a command pedal on the FCB1010 I randomly get a second sound. Also if I use a choose a sound on the FCB1010 that matches an complex orchestral sound from the KETRON SD2 too quickly from a previous sound it will go into loopin feedback until I turn of the KETRON.... Well, heck, like I said before , with the FCB1010just out of the box I was getting the first 100 sounds in order off the KETRON but there are about 900 on there, some of which I may like.. will rewatch all your videos on the subject.
I have a small Ketron SD1000 module. I'll give it a try sometimes this week.
What you don't explain is how we SEND that data to the unit. From what I could see, we need to turn off/on the unit and send sysex data
What exactly are you trying to do? Maybe you don’t realize it but your comments are confusing and not clear.
As far as the USB to PC MIDI adapter goes, being each MIDI cable on it is marked "IN" on one and "OUT" on the other, do they go in the same marked ports on the fcb 1010 or opposite? I saw in some video, where some other application, he put the "IN" to the "OUT" of his device and so on. What should the protocol be for the cables on the adapter, to the FCB 1010? Ultimately, I'm connecting FCB 1010 with my Korg Kronos and the PC. I'll be using the editor from Mountain Utilities.
Yes, they do go in the same marked ports on any midi device. So if one of the jacks on the midi cable/adapter is marked as MIDI IN, it will have to be connected to the MIDI IN port of the target midi device. That's the cable/adapter connection. I think you're confusing this with actual connectors on 2 different midi devices (not to be confused with marked jacks on a midi cable). Let's say you want to connect the FCB1010 directly to Kronos or whatever. The MIDI OUT jack(connector) of the FCB1010 needs to be connected to the MIDI IN connector of the Kronos. Essentially, you're pressing a pedal on the FCB1010, the midi signal travels OUT of the FCB1010 (MIDI OUT) into the MIDI IN port of the receiving target device ...in this case a Korg Kronos. So in that case, you always connect the midi out to the midi in. Maybe I misunderstood your question?
@@InTheMixReviews I think I got it, but if both the IN and OUT of the USB MIDI adapter are going into the FCB 1010 (to use the PC editor), how can I connect the FCB 1010 to the Kronos at the same time? (all 3 devices connect). There doesn't seem to be enough MIDI ports. What the configuration be? Sorry, I never could get the whole idea of MIDI in my head straight. What I'll be doing is controlling the Kronos from the FCB 1010, creating the settings by means of the PC editor program.
@@salmonella4u So the PC editor is only sending the programming info to the FCB. In other words, you only need to connect the MIDI IN jack of the FCB 1010. If you want to send sysex messages from the FCB 1010 back to the computer, than you will connect the MIDI OUT jack. This will take care of the computer/FCB 1010 connection. Does this answer part of the question?
@@InTheMixReviews Then from there, will it be from the OUT of the FBC 1010 to the Kronos IN? Then that should be all I need to know. Ultimately connecting all three.
@@salmonella4u Yes, but that brings me to the next question. Why do you want these 3 to be connected in the first place? After all the FCB 1010 is the master controlling the Kronos and not the editor. Once you have the FCB programmed, there's no need for the FCB 1010 to be connected to the computer at all.
Hi I am programming my FCB1010 with mainstage 3. I did follow all instructions not sure it's not working. Please help I have downloaded FCB manager. I am really about to give up and throw my FCB in trash.
It's hard to troubleshoot in the comment section. Have you joined the Facebook FCB1010 group? That would be a much better place to have a group discussion.
How can I use my newly bought FCB1010 with Amplitube 4 in my windows 10 PC? The User Manual is so complicated. Is there any easy way out there? I saw some editor videos but not sure which one should I use? Any help is much appreciated.
i just got a fcb1010 to control my guitar plug-in. do i need to download "manager" software to use the foot controller?
Not at all. You can look up the manual programming video as well.
Hello, I am trying to run FCB1010 on mac but nothing happen. I am connecting the pedal board through a MIDI to USB cable, but I don't understand why I can't midi map with Ableton Live 10. If you have a sys file to configure the FCB1010 would be great. I don't know what else to do.
hello! thank you for this tutorial! do you know if you can assign different midi channels for each button?
No. Here's a better explanation . Watch this video starting from 35:00 . th-cam.com/video/SYNND5nMWhc/w-d-xo.html
how can i program a single preset to hit 2 different midi devices with different addresses? my effects processor on midi channel 1 and amp on midi channel 2? i'd like to be able to send separate PC messages to each device based on a single preset press.
You posted the same question under the FCB1010 Full Video Manual, and I responded: "If you have the stock e-prom you might want to review this section of the video @35:37 (midi assignment)." Did you do that?
Hi I would like to just program the fcb1010 to select user instruments , so each pedal number would be assigned to a user instrument/sound.
is that possible ??
The question should be, what are the midi commends used to select those presets remotely. If your target device responds to those commands then you program the FCB accordingly. I recommend that you watch my other fcb1010 video.
Can I use this editor to send the following data out of the FCB? 11111010
This is a real-time midi message, and I'm aware that the FCB1010 cannot send real time messages, but is there a hack where I can send multiple controller messages to generate this chunk of data?
Background - I'm trying to use the FCB with a Novation Circuit. The Circuit contains a sequencer and I'm using the FCB to select sessions on the Circuit. Each session contains a song segment, l like session 64 is the first verse, session 65 is the first chorus. It all works fine... except I can't START the song (the first session's sequencer) with the FCB, as the Circuit, and most all midi hardware sequencers, only start and stop via real-time messages, which the FCB1010 does not send. But I believe it can be hacked to send the data: 11111010
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, because I'd like to get back to writing this song, and stop wondering about the most and least significant bits of midi messages!
I don't think you can, as you can only use this software to program the FCB1010 hardware. In other words, instead of programming the hardware pedal manually, you would use this to manage your presets and things of that nature. As far as the pedal itself, I have a separate video for that. I've used FCB1010 to control arranger keyboards. They're also sequenced based but in a different way. Every sequence (variation) CAN be triggered with a single PC message in real time. So what is this string of data 11111010 exactly? Is it possible to use PC change messages to trigger sequences instead?
I'm trying to change the FCB1010's buttons from PC's to CC's. In the software I set "CNT 1" from 1 incrementally up to 100. Value for all left at 0 and didn't change anything else. When I try to send that to the FCB1010, the config light doesn't go off for one second as it's supposed to. Something else flashed quickly. I saved it, but then nothing on the FCB1010 seems to do anything... This video says to unplug the cable going to MIDI OUT when sending from computer to FCB1010, the program says unplug the other cable... but I've tried both. Not sure what I'm doing wrong... maybe everything? I need to get the FCB1010 to send control change messages rather than program change messages as I was told that would be better for switching instruments (PC changes from the FCB1010 don't seem to work).
Sorry, just saw this post. Did it figure out the issue? As far as the midi connections go, it's recommended that you unplug the MIDI OUT (on the hardware), if you're sending data from the computer to the FCB1010. If you're sending data from the hardware pedal to the computer, you unplug the MIDI IN on the pedal. This way you won't experience any type of midi feedback. It's just a precaution.
@@InTheMixReviews Ah I see. I ended up just programing it manually, rather than using software.
Hello, does it work with eurekaprom chip?, thanks for your response.
I don’t think so. You might want to check the official website but I doubt it.
Hello again, ok now this seems like it will make it super easy! Additional question. So if I am programing "bank A" for my module that contains the 128 PCs do I then name and save that file i.e. bank A on the manager, then program the next "bank B" also 128 on to the manager. Then load the set of banks I am going to use that day on the FCB1010 from the manager , say bank B, then if I need bank A delete the settings from the pedals and load the next bank etc... or can I just leave the manager on the whole time and pick and choose?
With FCB1010 Manager everything is going to be super fast and easy. First of all when you're programming FCB1010 Manager (software editor) you don' t have to be connected to the real FCB1010. At this point, you're only putting entries into the program. It's kind of like using Microsoft Word. You don't need to be connected to a printer in order to write and save a document on the computer so it's the same concept here. The only time you want to have a working connection is when you want to "send" or "receive" a SysEx file which is how the FCB1010 sends or accepts data. As far as making entries for various banks? It's totally up to you. If you program one single PC message, that's what the FCB1010 will receive. If you program 3 banks each with various presets, that's what the FCB1010 is going to get as well. Say you use the editor to program Bank 1 for Bank A of your midi device. Give it a descriptive name and same the file on your computer. Later on you decide you want to add more entries to THAT set up file. Just load/import that particular set up file that you've already saved and add to it. You can either save this as a new set up file or just overwrite the original set up file. If you send this set up file to the real FCB1010, this new modified set up will overwrite the current set up on the hardware. So now you'll have the updated setup on the pedal. Let me know if I misunderstood the question?
No, I think you got it. Of course I just realized I was making it harder than it was. My weird brain somehow got on a track that I needed to put all the possible MIDI files at my fingertips any time. That is absurd of me! When will I need in a composition to call up Cello> Shakuhashi> Banjo> Glokenspiel> Sitar!?! All I need to do is set up a pedal configuration choosing what I think will use and then if that changes modify my file or as you say just call up the file I have saved on the editor and reconfigure the pedal. Yikes! as my father said: " Ignorance can be cured, but stupid is terminal" ha ha!! Thank you very much and thank you for a great service you do. I think Behringer needs to give you a cut because this set of videos should help sales!!!
ha ha ha...You should see my failed DIY home projects! Yeah I've been using the editor for a while and no problem so far. The fact that you can actually see EVERYTHING inside a setup file helps a lot. You can give a descriptive name to each preset as well as a bank so as long as you keep those 2 files together (as mentioned in the video) you'll be able to see all your notes for a given set and take it from there. Use it a few time and you'll know what I mean. In the mean time don't hesitate to post questions, as they could help others as well.

@@PatrickStefan I was about to write you right now but saw your second post. Glad to hear you worked it out.
what do you think of the Nektar Pacer?
It looks interesting. I got in touch with them a few months ago. It seems like a nice pedal, though they market it for Guitarists primarily. I didn't look up the details to see how powerful the midi programming features are.
In application, it mean I open this first before using daw or in my case MainStage? How did you plug in midi to pc? Is there an interface in between?
I'm not sure if I understand the question correctly. You do NOT and can NOT connect FCB1010 Manager software to your DAW at all. This software is strictly an editor to be used with the FCB1010 hardware pedal.

M-Audio UNO midi to USB cable
Hello
great video
i have a question
How can i just assign a midi note to a preset?
Thank you. It's in the preset window...like shown in this video.
@@InTheMixReviews so, i have to program the other setting also??
The other setting? Not sure what you mean.
@@InTheMixReviews the PC, CNT, and switch settings
I want to use it so send midi notes to ableton for the midi mapping
If you want to control a programmable function(s) remotely using a button or any number of buttons on this pedal, you would need to assign the relevant parameters. If you only assign a note, that’s all that button is going to send. If you assign 3 parameters, that button will send out 3, right? by the way, if you’re kind of new to the FCB1010, I strongly recommend that you watch the main tutorial just to have a better grasp on the whole thing and then using the editor will make a lot of sense.
Can I use this for eurekaprom v3.1, or is there other better alternative? Use it for pc amp sims and effects
I believe this software only supports the factory eprom.
my question, why the exp pedal B can't function during normal start, but it's function during calibration, what the solution? thank you
I’m not sure what you mean during normal start. What are you trying to do?
I mean, when I use exp pedal B that is not working in all preset configuration or global configuration , but when I calibrating the signal exp B is on calibrating it is working, may I know the solution? thank you
So you programmed EXP B to do something but when you’re trying to get it to transmit data in performance mode, it doesn’t do anything?
@@InTheMixReviews yes that right, exp pedal A is working, only exp pedal B not working, but that ok, I can use only one exp pedal
@@madewirasa2661 Now I understand. Are you sure 'for certain' that when you move Pedal B nothing gets transmitted at all? Have you checked the midi output with a software? Also what exactly are you trying to control with pedal B? What is it assigned to do?
Will this make an stock fcb compatible with bias fx 2? I've read that the fcb sends pc signals and bias fx only receives cc signals
This software is simply a computer based editor for the FCB1010 hardware. Instead of spending a lot of time programming the unit manually, you can use this editor to manage things a lot faster. That's all there's to it. I don't know anything about Bias Fx 2 unfortunately to be able to make a specific comment. Try the FCB1010 Facebook group, if you want feedback from Bias FX users. To answer your question though, if the stock FCB1010 is not compatible with your unit in a certain way, this editor won't make that problem go away.
Ended up buying one second hand for 40 euros with all the cables, setting it up with this nice program just as someone said in this post: forum.positivegrid.com/topic/2655/help-with-fcb1010-and-bias-fx2
Best investment in a long time, the sound options are endless. For the cc signals you just have to set on the cnt 1 and choose a value for controller to choose the cc number. You can also set the tap tempo, looper... And use the expression pedals for wah and volume. Hope this helps somebody, if you have any question just ask me. Cheers.
When I open the manager it defaults to the first and only saved setup file I have made for the Ketron SD2. How do I start and scave a fresh set up file so I can set the FCB1010 for another module i.e. one for my Kurtweil Micro Piano one for my Roland M-OC1 Orchestra Sund Expansion module. I assumed would just hit FILE and find NEW llike in WORD but do not see that option. By the way have you had chance to try FCB1010 with your Ketron SD1000 ?
I haven't got a chance to work on the SD1000. How do you start a fresh set up? There's a restart option under the file menu. I think I covered that towards the end of this video. (25:00 ish)
@@InTheMixReviews Oh, ok I see File> restar with default setup ....got it.
I need to send the hex equivalent "F0 41 10 00 00 00 20 12 70 01 0F 00 00 F7" from the FCB1010. Is this possible? How to do this?
FCB1010 can send the following midi messages: 1) Program Change (PC) messages 2) MSB/LSB/PC 3) Note numbers
@@InTheMixReviews Thanks. Is there a way to convert the sysex (or whatever the "F0 41..." is) to MIDI so that the FCB can send the equivalent MIDI message?
@@CCESCAVS That I'm not sure. Try the FCB1010 Facebook group. Someone's probably done it or knows a thing about it.
I can't program 6 through 10 I don't know why?
They're all the same. There's no difference between them at all.
@@InTheMixReviews THen there is something wrong with my unit, or I am doing something wrong although I have no problem program 1-5.
Does the manager work with MacOS Catalina ?
There was an update a while ago, but I can’t remember the OS compatibility specs. I took a look at the official website just now real quick but didn’t see the latest specs.
@@InTheMixReviews OK. Thanks. I'll download it and see what comes up.
Please let me know if you were able to install
@@InTheMixReviews Well, the thing is that I haven't installed Catalina yet, I'm on High Sierra, preparing to update to Catalina. It works on HS, and interestingly, the "about" of it says "copyright 2009-2021". That it says 2021 could well mean that it's up to date, yet I'll only know when I move to Catalina. I asked about Catalina because getting ready to move to it means bringing up to date a lot of things-software, plugins, et al.
@@BernardGuy Generally I don't like to upgrade the OS on my work computers, because there's always something that goes wrong, or something that is not supported ..etc. I have a 2014 MacbookPro in excellent condition as I only used it to track vocals from time to time...and some light internet browsing. Can't remember what the last OS upgrade was on that machine, but all icons and folder disappeared from the desktop. They're still on hard drive, but I can't seem to get the icons back. I won't be upgrading again, unless it's truly necessary.
Program easy to use but actually sending and receiving has never worked for me even though using the utilities to see data is being sent shows up, its never happened
Interesting! I've used it many times in the past and it always worked for me. You were never able to even transmit a simple PC message ?
@@InTheMixReviews when sending from pc to fcb1010 it said it had been done but nothing changed on the fcb1010. When sending from fcb1010 to pc the light on the midi/usb adapter lit briefly but nothing was changed on the pc screen.
When using input and output meters it shows activity
You definitely have a working midi connection. I wonder if there’s a midi feedback loop going on. Have you tried unplugging the midi out cable on the hardware when sending data from the computer?
@@InTheMixReviews yes tried one cable then both, swapped them around, but seeing as i was getting visual notification i thought the screen would fill up with the fcb1010 preprogrammed info, but no. Maybe i am doing something wrong but i feel i have watched the video many times and followed correctly. The actual fcb1010 works perfect for my needs which is changing preset scenes for lighting via ipad and mydmx go interface
@@nealepitts Midi feedback does some strange things at times. Just wanted to eliminate the possibility. How is FCB1010 connected to the computer by the way?
how can I configurate latch or momentary??
Jose, are you asking how to configure settings using this software, or in general?
maybe this tutorial is the best solution to my problem but, i cant understand the english languaje u.u

If you want learn what midi means...
Are you asking a question?
Pronounced Bey Ringer like Uli says it !!
Big deal!
Doesn't and won't work with Uno prom.
Uno has its own editor I think. This one only supports the factory chip. It’s clearly mentioned in the pdf manual and this video as well.
NOOOOOO
"Error: Error sending MIDI System Exclusive message
Undefined external error."
The most useless error notification in the world.
I’ve never seen that error message. You might want to contact the programmer. He has a website and a forum.
@@InTheMixReviews I just closed the program and reopened and it worked. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this and still keep track of the comments. I was just trying to make a sustain pedal, but ended up finding out this is a very powerful device.
Glad everything worked out. Oh yes, you can go way more than that. You’re very welcome.
I'm sure this is a great product; the tutorial is truly HORRIBLE!
Your sense of entitlement is horrible. You need a tutorial for that!!!
@@InTheMixReviews What entitles you to say that. Fuckn Tw@!
Help, please. Having trouble sending the date to the FCB1010. Using a Mac, OS 10.12. I appear to be connected correctly, and a MIDI Monitor program shows that data is coming in, so I am connected. Just can't get the FCB1010 Manager to send data to the unit. Any help will be appreciated!
George, I’m a PC owner so unless a Mac user responds, I won’t be able to help. If you get in touch with the developer through his website, you could receive official help as well.
@@InTheMixReviews Yeah… thanks anyway! It’s baffling… I got the iPad app FCBFF, and same thing, all the connections are right, but not getting transmitted… so I don’t think it’s anything “mac”… I think I’m following the directions correctly, all the “Hold the DOWN button and turn on the power, etc… should the 7 (SYSEX RCV) button LED be flashing when I do this? I’m waiting for it to go off when I send to the FCB1010, but that never happens…
It’s been a long time since I’ve done this. I think there’s a section in this video where you can test the connection. If that test is not passing, then clearly something’s wrong.
@@InTheMixReviews OK, solution has been found, everything is working correctly now. The problem was in my MIDI setup, and since you have a very detailed explanation of that process for Windows, but NOT for Mac, there was no way for me to know to do it. Through lots of searching through menus, and lots of trial and error, I found the problem with my MIDI setup, and corrected it. SYSEX save and load are now working fine. You should get someone familiar with Macs to do the MIDI setup portion of the tutorial for Mac.
@@gtrgeorge348 Just saw the comment right now. Glad you were able to find the issue. Well, the purpose of this video is not the midi set up for mac or even pc. That would be a totally different tutorial, because, it would be the same for all software. It tried to include as much info as possible. Glad you got it working nonetheless.
