The world is a better place because of people like you. Thanks!
Thank you @sweenetto
Thanks !
I've had The FCB for over a year now, just sitting on the floor collecting dust and dirt.. THANK YOU!
Now I can finally use it, it became from my worst enemy to my dearest friend within this 46 minute video tutorial.
So many options my mind is blown. I didn't even know what to do with it,, but now I am completely overwhelmed by the sheer number of possibilities this device can be used for.
So I will say it again, THANK YOU!
Thanks a lot. I'm glad this video helped you get back on track. This pedal is one of the hardest midi devices I've ever worked with. It's not user friendly at all...until you understand its structure and all that. Once you do, it's a wonderful pedal!
Wow, what an amazing tutorial! Well prepared, precise and to the point. Easy to follow. Really great work guys.
I've got one of these arriving in the next 24 hours with no experience of programming it I thought I'd try YT and see if anything would help - this video was excellent 10/10 - it explained all the steps clearly and the examples were shown at a perfect speed and with relevant content . Many thanks.
One of the best instructional videos I’ve ever seen! The graphics with the arrows and the inserts clearly direct attention where needed and show what’s happening. Clear, concise, and thorough. Brilliant job! My FCB1010 should arrive in a couple of days, and now I’m looking forward to diving in instead of dreading it. Thank you for this!
This is hands down the greatest youtube tutorial I have ever watched. Thank you so much. Thanks to you I now have the knowledge and power to switch from vegetarian industrial death metal to porn groove deep house with the push of a button. Now I just need to find a Midi compatible toaster and I'll be set for life. Definitely subscribing!
Thanks a lot for the compliments. Happy to hear about your positive experience.
My unit came without a proper manual. I could not have been started without your help. THANKS.
I watched this a few years ago when I got my FCB101, I am so glad I watched it again. Very helpful and much appreciated! Thank you!
So thankful for this tutorial. I greatly appreciate the time you took out of your life and schedule to make this video. Know that you have really helped someone and saved them a lot of frustration! Thanks again!
Thank you very much dear Dennis. Yes, it wasn’t easy to make this but I knew it had to be done.
Thank you super much! I have watched many other videos about using the FCB1010 and also read the manual, but only this video explained some critical details, which both the manual and other videos left out. Now finally it all makes sense!
You are amazing! This is a fantastic video and really shows off the power of the FCB1010. I just bought one after watching your video. Thank you so much for putting this together, I really enjoyed watching this and will surely keep coming back as I start to program my new FCB1010.
Thank you very much! Glad you found the video helpful. It's a very good pedal indeed! Definitely let me know about your new set up and all.
Such a great, well made video. Thank you! I hope others learn from what you do here.
Wow. This is a really really good, well prepared video. You are awsome for doing this. Detailed accurate and well thought out. You have a bright future.
Thanks a lot! Glad you found the video helpful.
I just got mines today. I've seen people talk about how complicated it was to use and realized today why. They ship these with literally no user manual and expect us to just know how to use it right out of the box. Thanks for helping us understand how this device works!
I used this video to help set up an FSB to control XR18 channel mutes. Awesome reference work and great narration. Thanks so much!
Wonderful! Glad to know you found these general information helpful.
it's amaizing how clear, calming and patient your naration is.
Thanks. Yes, we figured by the time people find this video, they're about to give up on life altogether...so a calm voice would do just fine. :)
The only thing motivating me to figure this thing out at this point is spite.
@@ericdodd4146 What's spite?
@@InTheMixReviews A desire to stick it to whoever invented this piece of gear by learning how to use it myself. I was being facetious. Neat tutorial!
@@ericdodd4146 It's ridiculously confusing indeed! I asked for a lot of help myself. Glad you found it useful.
Omg, this is so good. The choices of what is discussed, the explanations are so good. Thank you so much for this great video.
Thanks a lot
Great job, I just got mine haven't even plugged it in yet... I really can't wait to tear this thing up let's GO!
Congrats! What are you gonna use it with?
Thanks for making this thorough tutorial.
This is so perfect and clear. You have totally demystified this thing.
Thank you Caroline....Hopefully it will help the new users....or encourage those who have thrown it in the closet. It's a very good pedal!
This is exactly what I have been looking for. I do solo performances on keyboards and on many occasions I need both hands free and instead, I'm hoping to be able to change the chords of the styles with my foot. I have to try this. thanks a lot for this great tutorial.
Very helpful. Thanks for making this video!
Well, that was spectacular! I had no idea how powerful this thing was. Fantastic video presentation of it all ... except what's in the next video hahaha! Thanks for your work! Behringer should pay you!
Thank you PinkPonyOfPrey. Yes this is a great pedal indeed! You said " except what's in the next video"? What's in the next video that you didn't like? ...I know! Behringer didn't bother to make a video. I guess I should've got paid for this. ha ha ha
I just haven't watched the next video, so I can't know what's in it yet, but I assume that unless you ran into something hard after the first one the next video is as good as this one hehe! :D
lol! I actually did run into a few obstacles but I was able to get in touch with Mark who's the genius behind FCB1010 software editor and he answered all of my questions. It's a very nice editor for sure.
Thanks a MILLION... Had no idea I had to attend school to use MIDI footswitch but I'm glad I learned all of this.
Glad to be of help. Yeah unfortunately Behringer does require university degrees for this pedal! 😆 but I tried to demystify it as best as I could.
very good instruction i love how easy your voice is to listen too
Thank you Chris!
Thank you very much for making this video. You are amazing! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is such a great tutorial! Subscribed ✅️
Extremely professional! Many thanks
definitely a video to add to the saved list :-) finally figured it out. I don't know who designs these things, they didnt have keyboard players in mind when they did. Not being able to change midi channels on the fly is a real pain.
Fabulous video. Really informative, clear and well presented. I wish I'd had this when I first purchased by FCB1010!
Thanks a lot Sound Sphinx. Hopefully I'll have something useful for you in the future.
Thank you. Great content! So much information, need to watch it many times! A little more space dead space between all of the points that you make would allow the listener time to (at least me!) to understand and retain all the gems! Thanks again. Best Steve
Thanks a lot. I figured if you guys want to go over something, you can just pause and repeat a section. If I put in dead space, it would've made the video a lot longer than already is.
Lifesaver!!! Thank you guys!!!
On point, very informative, this is an amazing product!!!
You saved my life! Tutorial n. 1!🏆🎖🏅
Magnificent tutorial.. I set this pedal aside after reading the manual because the manual sucked and couldn't tell me what I needed to do! You made it simple. (I am not a novice with midi either this is just a confusing manual.) Thank you ever so much!!!
I totally agree with you. That’s the most discouraging manual I’ve ever seen. It only makes sense for those who already understand the basics of this pedal which kind of defeats the purpose. Glad you found the video helpful. Thanks a lot!
Thank you - extremely well presented and very easy to follow! I could have never done this following Behringer's instructions.
I still have PTSD for making this video! 🤣… I’m glad I was able to put this video together.
I'm glad I found this channel, One of the best TH-cam channels there is.
Thank you William. You’re too nice.
Best tutorial so far. Should be promoted for more views.
Thanks a lot!
THANKS SO MUCH for including the info on programming and calibration of the expression pedals. I just received a brand new FCB1010, and was trying to set it up to use with my iPad. When trying to route the expression pedals to control an app, it showed the pedal going from 0 to 127 almost immediately, barely moving the pedal. I tried all kinds of stuff, but no change. Then I remembered the calibration procedure you described, and tried it… bingo! Works just right now. BOTH exp pedals were in this state, and the calibration fixed both of them. Once again, Extremely grateful that you included this info; not sure anyone at Sweetwater would have known… and absolutely disgusted with Behringer that they actually ship the FCB1010 in this condition…
Sweetwater products links are your best buddy! Sweetwater takes the time to do tutorial videos often, as they have done with this product! Check the product page to see their instructions.
Awesome awesome tutorial. Thanks guys for your time helping us!
Thank you Baba for acknowledging . I appreciate that!
Very clear tutorial. Great work
excellent and very thorough video, thanks
God bless you 🙏 idk how I was gonna program the fcb without your video.
Happy to hear that. What device did you program it for?

Thanks a lot for sharing!
This was extremely helpful tutorial thank you so so much. My friend and I would have been lost in the weeds trying to figure this out on our own. He bought one of these for 80$ at pawn shop
Really glad to be able to be helpful.
In The Mix more than helpful, a life saver. I would not have been able to figure it all out. You did an excellent job of being very clear and concise with your directions. Like someone else said Behringer should have paid you for this because you did such a good job
Thank you so much!!!! Excellent video!! So grateful!!
You're welcome Rockstar.
What a perfect tutorial
Thank you so much !
You're very welcome!
OUTSTANDING!!!
What a great video, it was very informative!

Now thats a tutorial, thank you so much
Glad I was able to help.
this is must watch if your new to Midi and you buy one of these pedals
Thank you Robert. That's exactly what the purpose of this video is.
THANK YOU!
Thank you thank you and THANK YOU!!!
You’re welcome! 🤣
Wow! THE most comprehensive tutorial video ever. You should sell it to Udemy or the like.
Ha ha ha . Thanks a lot. Yes it has helped many users. 🙏
Thanks! 💯
I love this video purely for making me realise that it's possible to mod the horrible firmware that this otherwise very powerful piece of hardware ships with!
Thx very useful !
Thanks a lot!
This is very clear but I am new to controllers, midi, cc, pc, etc. I wish there were a video for beginners. If I understood what was being taught here, this video would be very helpful.
This video would answer some of your basic midi questions: th-cam.com/video/xs62GSaP51A/w-d-xo.html
I would really love for you to do a video with just Mini controlling guitar amps that have Built-in effects as well as being Daisy chained to TC electronic's G force.
As far as the connection goes, the principles are the same. The only thing different would be the actual Program Change messages and Controller numbers that are specific to each individual device. As far as using an editor, I'm recording a follow up video for the Mountain Utility Editor by Ed Dixon at the moment. Will eventually do device specific videos as well.
Not sure if you mention since I only skipped around, but there is third-party software called iFCB that let's one edit the FCB1010 on a computer via USB. Pretty handy stuff! Also thanks for a great tutorial!
Yes, there are multiple editors available. There is no USB connection on the FCB1010 so you would need to use a 5pin to usb interface such as M-Audio UNO. I also have a full tutorial for FCB1010 Manager which is a free editor.
First and foremost, thank you thank you thank you. You are a wealth of sought after information. I have a question regarding preset configurations and whether you can upload along with program and control changes and sysex data?
only half way through but this is so so useful, thank you
You're welcome! What are you going to use the FCB1010 with?
@@InTheMixReviews mainly for controlling mainstage, and in my max patch for some very inefficient non synced loops setup i made :)
Thank you thank you thank you!
You're very welcome! What device(s) are you going to use it with?
A useful video thank-you. 🙏 The biggest limitation of the fcb1010 is that MIDI channel selection is only global, so it cannot be used to send control multiple devices. So disappointing. 😢
True. That setting is global.
Awesome Video, Thank You. I am programming the footswitch to control Note on messages for a light controller, the switches are acting as momentaries....how to you program so it latches?
Please visit the FCB1010 Facebook group. There are users with 3rd party chips that might interest you.
This is the best tutorial for the fcb1010 but oh the boring monotone voice - you can visualise the finger moving under the script
Thanks! Behringer has a professional FCB1010 video though. You should totally check it out!
Hi! Thanks a lot for this great work. I was wondering if you covered CC commands in an other video (without expression pedals)
Hey Max. Thanks a lot. No, I don't have a separate FCB1010 video besides this one. The other one I have is for the FCB1010 Manager.
Looks like I'm two years late to the party and also new to the FCB1010, but I have to say this is absolutely the best tutorial I've seen on TH-cam regarding Musical Equipment. In The Mix your thoroughness is second to none. Before I buy this there is one question. Will I be able to control 16 MIDI devices or up to 127?................ Thank you for a wonderful presentation and BTW you have a great voice.
Thank you Robert! I tried to demystify this pedal the best I could . So are you trying to control all these devices in real time? FCB1010 CAN transmit over 16 midi channels. So you could potentially daisy chain 16 midi devices and control something on each device independently for simple configurations. For anything complicated, you'll run into limitations pretty quick. For one thing, certain parameters are Global like mentioned in the video, so you won't be able to assign the same parameter to a different switch and transmit over a different channel. In other words, you would need to know what it is you're trying to control on additional devices...and then figure out what midi messages are going to be used to trigger those parameters. Is it just a simple PC message? Is it a string of midi data? If you run into issues, then you might have to use additional hardware/software to re-channelize messages...etc. There's no simple answer for this. Most likely you'll need multiple FCB1010s to control a big network of midi devices.
@@InTheMixReviews ... Got it, 16 channels in relatively simple work flow.... Digital mixer, 2 to 5 synths, 2 guitar effects pedals, channel switching on MIDI amp, perhaps 2 recording consoles, yes less than 16 at the moment. Looking simply to start with being able to set song lists where program changes would sync all gear in real-time and build into more elaborate schemas.... I was initially concerned with how many channels could be sent out at one time. Despite the limitations, as you have pointed out, some of the workarounds could be setting up scenes per device and just triggering them from MIDI. I did stumble on a new software based package, if you hadn't seen it already.....not a trusted secure site, but I had no problem there. You may wish to scan it first thru Kaspersky. www.muckuper.com/
Thanks Again! & Best Wishes

I have the Behringer FCB1010. I bought this to change drum kit sounds on my Alesis Strike Pro SE set. The Alesis manual says cc 118 and 119 go forward and back through the kits. I need midi channel 2 with the 2 numbers on 2 different pedals so I can change sets during my drum solo. How is this done?
Hola, que tal? Me gustaría saber se además de todas las configuraciones de cambios de efectos, volumen, etc. se podría también tener acceso a la sección de grabación como: PLAY, REC. ADELANTAR, RETROCEDER, MONITOR, BORRAR TRACKS ETC. Seria posible con el FCB 1010, para poder tener las manos totalmente libres para estar siempre en la guitarra? Esto para mi seria
Super. Muchas gracias.
is it possible to have multiple keys turned on at the same time ? like for example let' say you have a clean guitar sound on key 1 , a distortion guitar on key 2 ..but you want to toggle on and off a delay assigned on key 6 .. i can do this but when i hit the key 6 to activate or desactivate the delay ..it turns off the red light of the key 2 i still have the distortion but visually it's confusing ...i would simply like to stay on key 2 and turning on/off the key 6 ..if that makes sense :)
Wishlist, A video on guitar-in effects of the Korg PA700 using the FCB to switch from clean, chorus and distortion for my electric guitar. Thank you
Honestly you have all the instructions you need in this video. You just have to look up the manual for your target device, and see what midi parameters are assigned to that particular feature. Then, you program the FCB1010 with those values. You can also try the Facebook group. Many different users who use all kinds of gears in there.
@@InTheMixReviews Thank you for the response, I have followed your instruction. I can use all of the Korg commands: variations, fills, stop, etc..on my PA700
Choosing a Voice/Guitar Preset for my electric guitar plugged in the guitar/mic input. Trying to access the patches by default, the book states:
Voice/Guitar Presets can be selected by sending a series of messages on the MIDI channel assigned to the Guitar Processor.
▪ Control Change #00 (Bank Select MSB) message with value ‘0’. (CNT1)
▪ Control Change #32 (Bank Select LSB) message to choose the type of preset. (CNT2) and add the preset CC32 Value (one of the three : Factory: 0, User : 1, Local 2)
Using the voice/guitar effects
▪ Program Change message to choose the preset. Preset PC Number (PC5) Preset 1…64 0…63
If your controlling device can only send Program Change messages, manually select the type of preset (Factory, User, Local).
Works, but it also it changes the style on the keyboard. The coding is very similar for styles.
FCB1010 works great after looking at the video and follow the instructions. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks
Can you control an HX stomp AND ableton at the same time? Also I saw something about a new chip… would it be worth getting a new one vs an older used one?
Hi, will this work if I change the switches that come with it which are "permanently open" circuit to "permanently closed" in order to match the action with Boss RC 505 pedal? Thank you for the good work
I recommend that you post this question in the FCB1010 Facebook group. There are users with DIY skills in there
Awesome & Recent !
If you happen to make a similar Tutorial on "Controlling a DMX Device" such as an Obey70 or anything else.
You'd be the Hero of many out there ! [Controlling Blackouts with Exp Pedal A, Strobe Effect with Exp Pedal B, & such things]
I hope you'll consider adding this to your Playlist of Tutorial. You guys are great !
Thank you very much Dex Games. Are you talking about controlling a lighting system through midi?
Absolutely ! I've been browsing the Web/Forums for few days now, and it happens that many, (like A LOT,) of people have built a Setup, (A DMX Controller that has MIDI In + the FCB1010), that allows them to :
- Control their Lighting Fixtures directly from the Stage, (So, no "Light Guy" behind a Console), via the FCB1010 Footswitch.
- They manage to jump from Scene to Scene via Pedals 1-10.
Let say : [Bank 1 = Song 1] with 10 Scenes in it. When song 2 comes up, they press the UP Pedal to call [Bank 2 = Song 2] - so on & so forth.
- They can use the Exp Pedals for all sorts of things : Global Dimming over all Fixtures, Strobe Effect on the Fly, trigger their Hazer, & many other things.
Just to give an Exemple : This man created his Scenes on his Obey70 DMX Controller.
Once done, he plugged an FCB1010 directly to his Obey70, and as you'll see in his "Comments Section", it worked Straight Out of the Box, he didn't program anything on the FCB1010 !
Here the link to his youtube Video : goo.gl/S9sxCd
(Many more did this with tons of different DMX Controllers [Operator 1, Magic 260, Etc...)
So, if it worked without any Programming, I can only dream about the Possibilities there could be using this Pedalboard. Thanks for paying attention ! Hope this helps.
Oh & Hit me up, if you need more informations, I'm gathering informations on how to achieve that.
I'm sure you're way more capable than me at this point, but I'll be happy to help if I can.
Yes that helped a lot. So all those features get assigned to certain midi messages (probably a single PC message or a string of messages) and then a single effect or a number of them get triggered by a switch on the FCB. Unfortunately I don't have access to those devices at the moment, but I'm totally adding your suggestion to my to do list. Awesome suggestion it is!
Indeed ! It's definitely Awesome, now just have to figure out how ! Ahah :)
There's a great opportunity here to provide a very good in depth Tutorial, as there are no such thing anywhere on the Web. And especially given the insanely High Quality / Professionnal Look of this one. It's Perfect !
[Great Multi-Cam, Clear Mic, Good Explanations, Etc]
Keep it up !
PS : I give you this just in case. It's a Forum Link, [one of the only few Active Forum left], we"re trying to figure out this things. If its of any help, that's great.
Forum : goo.gl/Ld5Hyx
Could this video be done with a Yamaha Genos? I can't program the pedal for the Genos. Thanks
V good tq
i was going to buy this controller for my digitech rack effect (i am justy getting into MIDI and rack stuff) i have also a mesa studio pre that needs a footswitch to change channels. do buttons 6 to 10 dont allow program changes? and can i set the switch to momentary latchins ( so if i touch one preset it just changes channel on the amp?)
Like it was mentioned in this video, all 10 pedals CAN be programmed the same way. Anything switch 1 can do, switch 10 can do as well. I know there's a 3rd party chip 'UNO' that adds a lot more interesting functionalities like what you're looking for. There are a lot of guitarists in the FCB1010 Facebook group. You might want to post your question there as well.
nice
Studied this while waiting for my new FCB1010 to control my new KETRON SD2 . When I got the pedal, just for grins went ahead and plugged it in without programing( CASIO PG-308 Synth guitar > FCB1010> KETRON SD2 sound module) was pleased that out of the box it controlled the first 100 sounds of the KETRON! The FCB1010 bank 00 and footswhitch 1 matched KETRON 1 Grand Piano..etc; bank 01 footswhitch 1 = ketron 11...etc. So cool, QUESTION IS: WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER SOUNDS ON THE MODULE? The match out of the box was to what KETRON calls "VOICE BANK A (control change 00, Value=0)" and that has 128 sounds, so as described above I can call up the first 100. This module has 3 voice banks with 128 sounds each plus a "Preset Bank" of 128 plus "Live Drum sets" x 82! Thank you so much for this, had a Behringer FCB1010 a few years ago and sold it in desperation!
I hear you! For a lot of people the FCB1010 end it up in the closet! I don't see why you shouldn't be able to call those patches located in additional banks. Most controllers default to the first bank which is why you don't have to do additional programming. Did you look through the manual to see if these extra bank have anything assigned to them? You probably need 3 entries for those presets : CC00/CC32/PC
Thanks for the reply, am a super old and a nube at this, Well, the default bank I mentioned says : VOICE BANK A (control change 00, Value=0)". The next one says Voice Bank B(control change 00, Value= 1). Next Voice Bank C( Control Change 00, Value = 10 ) Next one ( Control Change 00, Value = 2 )..etc. Ok so need to watch your viedo again figure out how to change that VALUE #...
You CAN do this. It's not as hard as it looks. Yes, you'll find all that visual help in the video. (Pay attention to 19:24 mark) .
Does adding the chip for being able to use a Boss RC-505 remove any of the standard features of the foot pedal, or does it simple add more features?
I'd like to be able to use this for guitar, synths, and also the Boos RC-505 mk2, without removing any of the stock features.
I highly recommend that you post this question in the Facebook group. Many experienced users there who use non-factory chips
Thank you for this excellent tutorial. Do you know if it’s possible to cause the lights on the FCB1010’s switches to correpsond with the on/off states of VST effects pedals? In other words, to use the foot switches as toggles and have the LEDs reflect that?
Thanks a lot. That I’m not sure about. It’s been a while since I’ve used the pedal. Try the Facebook group. Maybe one of the 3rd party chips does that.
@@InTheMixReviews Yes, someone on reddit said it's possible with the uno chip.
That’s what I was thinking. Especially with the latest version, there’s all kinds of stuff you can do.
Very nice and comprehensive video. Wondering if you know of how SysEx commands could be sent directly to devices using the Mountain Utilities FCB1010. There are specific functions that my gear only receives SysEx commands for, not PC or CC commands. Thanks for the video.
Thanks! I could be wrong, but I don't think you could do that. I mean the program does send and receive SysEx, but that pretty much includes PC and CC settings.
Thanks for the response.
I have had one for years. Never used it. Now I want to use it with an FX2000 3D. I simply want to assign each button to toggle on and off a single effect on the FX2000 I am watching your video right now to figure out how to do this.
Congrats & Thank You for such a comprehensive and detailed tutorial !!!
I was wondering if there is a way to set a pedal for an "octave down" change. I believe this would require 12 "semitone down" messages stream programmed into one pedal.
Another interesting challenge could be sending 12 "semitone up" messages to return to original octave when the pedal is released. I'm afraid these will not be possible.
Thanks, glad you found the video useful. If 'Octave up/down' change feature has an actual program change or some type of CC# assigned to it (on your device), then it's only a matter of programming the FCB1010 to transmit that data. The FCB1010 never knows what it is you're actually controlling. As long as that or any other particular feature CAN be remotely controlled with a program change or CC#, you'll be able to make that happen. Now the 2nd part of your question is interesting. It's been a long time since I've used this pedal, so can't give you the answer for certain, but if I remember correctly, the UNO chip (3rd party) has interesting capabilities that do things like that. I recommend that you check out the Facebook group, and post this question on there. There are many users that use this pedal for a wide range of devices. You may get better suggestions, especially if you give more details about the midi device you're trying to control...etc.
@@InTheMixReviews so many thanks for your fast and crystal clear detailed reply, truly appreciated. Just as a minor contribution, I thought of a more generic than specific interest. Quite a few midi implementations seems to handle octave up/down compared to semitone transpose support. So, the idea would be to check the chances of sending a stream of -/+12 semitones down/up to make an octave shift. Would it be possible to store a stream of CCs (rather than a single one) in one pedal?
In anyway, thank you again for being so kind and bring extra reinforcement to all these details for us. I enjoyed your warm reply and will follow your advise to check with user groups. Cheers!!!
@@dakoiaa A stream of CCs? I don't think that's a possibility. I see why you would need a number of them to make the Octave shift possible (if there's no single midi commend available for this feature), but what would be an example for such a stream? Would that be a string of the same CC#?
@@InTheMixReviews Hi, thanks for this wonderful interaction 😃 !
Yes, it would be a string of the same CC#. The example I thought of is a stream of 12 semitone-shifts to comprise an octave, since most synths' midi do not offer a single CC# for that. I'm about to buy a 1010 and I realize you think that's not possible with it. That's what I was afraid of.
Yes, I don’t think that’s a possibility.
or maybe even using the windpwss editor software and what best midi to usb adapter to use. And showing how that makes life much easier in the set up I'm very new at this and I just got this board and a new Hughes and kettner amp had and I'd like them to be able to talk to each other but obviously I need a video for dummies because I have no midi experience
This video should get you started for midi ports and connectors. I tried to make it as easy as possible. Once you understand how the midi signal flow works, you should be able to make the connections. th-cam.com/video/xs62GSaP51A/w-d-xo.html
This IS rocket science for me :)) but well done 🤟
It is complicated but I did my best to help. :)
Does the stock firmware.. allow for the Led's to remain on after changing to another preset? like the function of toggle switch(while in midi)?
Try the FCB1010 Facebook group to get more info.
Hi I managed send NPRNs by sending MSB and LSB through CNT 1 & CNT 2 (pads 6,7) together with sending program change (pad 5) with the desired value. Can the value be sent by the expression pedal instead (pads 6,7,8)? If so what should be the the first parameter of the expression set to (pad 8)? Many thanks!
Hi. If I remember correctly, Expression pedals are meant to be used for CCs only. Volume, expression, mod wheel and anything that can be assigned to a CC #.
