This is incredible. I'm going to use this to trigger Zappa esque song segments with my band. Hold up hand signals and then trigger musical segments at the end of the count, going to create a completely dynamic and sick show
This is simply FANTASTIC, Tobi. Yes, someday I would love to know how to program the FCB1010 internally, not to mention learn how to make my own Max devices at some point, that must be pretty cool :) ... but that's a ways down the line, haha, and for now I am just SO thankful that you created this. You saved me *so* much time and frustration! I'm psyched to all of a sudden have this incredibly useful foot pedal be a part of my rig just like that! Glad I found you! 🙏
Excellent! Making a complicated pedal easy to use.. I use one all the time for live looping, I've programmed mine for mapping, I hear there's also a firmware flash for older pedals, and even a chip swap, tho I didn't need that. Flexiblity and routing can easily get confusing, your M4L plugin is by far the easiest way to map, good work!
Very nice tool Tobi! This made programming the unit so easy! I have spent way too muh time futzing with pedal programming. So nice ot be able to pull out from storage, plug it in, and program my stuff in 20 minutes which included the time to watch the video! This tool opens up lots of possibilities to experiment! Thank you!
Hey thanks for this! Got the fcb1010 foot controller program device from your gum road last night! It's awesome! Can't wait for your video on live looping with the fcb1010
Hey - thx for your feedback - there is no plan for making one for the Softstep but you could set up and use the same functionality yourself via the Advanced MIDI Control devices which you can find more info on here: blog.abletondrummer.com/advanced-midi-control-in-ableton-live/
@@abletondrummer hy Thanks a lot for your answer and the helpfull link. The thing i really like in your M4L device IS the ability to block some of the functions betwean different banks. It could be very si usefull for my Idea. Bank 1 select tracs and sounds and bank 0 loopers and play stop aller on bank 0&1..
Tobi I love this plug-in! But, is there a way to get the expression pedal that I have set to trigger the Master Volume to stop at 0db instead of going all the way to 6db?
Hey - I see 2 options for that: Use the native MIDI MAP and set the MAX value for this MAPing to "0". OR you could use the GAIN Audio effect on the Master track - group it/create an Audio Effect Rack where this is nested in - macro map the gain to a macro and set the max value of this to "0". Now you can MAP from the FCB1010 M4L plugin to that macro. Cheers
I just bought this and wanted to use it to map my FCB1010 to record specific clips with it (I'm a guitarist and use Ableton in Session view for live looping performances). This doesn't seem to be possible. What am I missing...?
Hey Annie - this device can be used in conjunction with my Live Looper which has the advantage of not 'being tied' to single clip slots but being able to record into multiple clips (up to 10 per looper) with the same button/stomp. (You will find more info on the looper here: th-cam.com/video/vOPHceAJEpg/w-d-xo.html ) - IF you want to map to single slots it would be possible to set up the FCB1010 device to send out MIDI notes via IAC routing (=its a virtual MIDI cable technique for MAC) and send those MIDI notes back in via a "In" - "Remote" to use the native MIDI MAP function in Ableton Live. Does this help?
Hey Edgar! Thx! It should - I can't provide Push3 support at this point as Ableton isn't providing developers support by the time speaking. This isn't set up for the Encoders on the Push though, this means you can't change the settings of the paras but you can set up the things on desktop Ableton Live and then transfer to Push3 stand-alone. (You where asking about Push3 stand-alone, yes?)
@@abletondrummer Yes, I was asking about standalone. About to purchase and use! I will reach out if there is any other questions. Thanx again for another great device!!!
Hey - it is a very similar approach BUT there are some things which are different and not accessible AND some things where Ableton Live has advantages over the RC 600 - so this is not a clear YES or NO and would depend on what exact functions you would need or want to expand on. That is why I have this full run-through video which will show all functions plus some more vids in this playlist: th-cam.com/video/hRpgHjGpSww/w-d-xo.html
Hi! I have been using your M4L device and I'm super grateful! I was wondering though, can I achieve a sustained MIDI note with the pedal? For now, the duration of the NOTE signal is quite short.
Hey thx for your support! Unfortunately the FCB1010 'only' sends a message when pressed down and not on release - so only options I see here would be using a pre-set longer note length (e.g. via "MIDI FX Note Length") OR using some M4L stuff to have a note start on first press and note off on second press
I want to set up different tracks with different effects and switch between them with this pedal, like a clean and distorted channel. Is that something I can do with this setup? I'm having a hard time figuring that out.
Hey there are many ways how this could be archived , my Max for Live plugin makes it possible that the FCB1010 ‚can talk‘ to Ableton Live out of the box. E.g. you could have different effects on one track and just mapped the On/Off button of each effect to a stomp via the „Map To“ function
Hey unfortunately Ableton implemented the MAP thing not for all parameters and some need to be addressed differently - it would be possible e.g. via my "Automate Arm" device which is part of this pack th-cam.com/video/iuZ1z8h3Iak/w-d-xo.html - I m happy to send you the Automate ARM device please send me an email via: blog.abletondrummer.com/contact/
Hello there ! I have a question : I followed every steps along the way. I just bought an FCB and even did a reset of it. But for a reason I ignore, my 1st expression pedal only deliver a message of "1" or "127", so it's either 0 or max Volume. Any idea of how I could sort it out ? Thanks a lot !

Hey man, I just found your videos amazing. Let me ask you... would you be available to be hired for teaching me how to configure FCB 1010 for good? I mean, I need to understand the whole thing. I'm a musician and want to use it at the stage to control my playbacks and/or some VSTs, if it's possible. Please let me know if we can make some arrangements about it.
Hi Tobi. Nice work. Just one thing. I don`t know whats going on but session record does not work for me. It "arms" session record button, but clip record button never starts recording.
Hey - if I get you right you want to MAP to trigger a Clip Slot - unfortunately Ableton doesn't allow to MAP to all parameters via the technique I am using here - I am working on an update but haven't decided on the best way - so currently this would need a work around - please drop me an email - blog.abletondrummer.com/contact/
Can anyone advise me please: I'm pretty sure I can MIDI my wind controller to the FCB1010 without an issue, but if I want to use my tone generator for voices and the pedal for expression, am I limited to recording audio only? Thanks!
@@abletondrummer loving the device so far! One further question, is there a way to set the min and max parameter value? Atm if I set a parameter to a switch it’ll be either 0% or 100%. Is there a way that a parameter could be 0% when off and then e.g. 60% when switched on? Thanks again!
@@TessieT89 Yes the could be set up for all parameters of devices on tracks (only!) if you group those and MAP them inside this RACK to macros. Yo then would need to set the MACRO MIN + MAX of the macro-mapped parameter. THEN you map the FCB1010 MAP to this MACRO DIAL you just set up.
I bought your utility and am attempting to set it up. I have the FCB 1010 set up through my Focusrite USB MIDI/audio interface. The M4L device sees the FCB 1010 and responds when I push a button. It also recogizes simple changes with the MAP-PARAM selected (if I change the track volume, that parameter is noted in the MAP-PARAM field). HOWEVER, I want to be able to trigger a clip. How do you trigger a clip? I click a clip and there's no info next to MAP-PARAM. I try different options (SCENE-fire, SCENE-select, etc) and I get nothing. Please help!
Hey - when you select „Scene Select“ or Fire you get a menu just on the right to it where you are able to select the Scene you want to MAP. Clips firing is not supported via this device but I will release something in the future which can be used in between for making that possible
@@abletondrummer I appreciate the quick reply! So, it seems this setup with your M4L isn't going to work for me :( When you say you'll be releasing something in the future to make clip firing possible, do you mean a separate utility, or an update to this existing M4L device?
@@abletondrummer I'm using two separate tracks, one for keys and one for sax. I had the clips for each on the same scenes (I wasn't needing to fire a whole scene for this particular setup). If I fire scene 3 for example, it's going to select a keys patch AND a sax patch, even though I just need to select a differrent patch for my sax. What I did was, move all my sax triggering clips on lower scenes that don't have clips for the keys. That does in fact allow me to trigger the sax effects clip only by way of the Scene Fire option. An FYI for other folks looking for similar functionality.
My expression pedals are just instantly jumping from 1-127 the second i touch it with no inbetween. Is there something I'm missing? The other switches seem to read fine

I have tried several ways but apart from creating a huge list of scenes which will mess my set. Thank you !
Hey- so this thing is amazing. Kudos. However, prev locator and next locator will not work for me. I am able to easily assign a specific locator to a pedal but when I choose either prev locator or next locator option it does absolutely nothing for me.
@@abletondrummer Thanks so much, man. Does that go for all your other M4L devices? These tools are so incredible. Getting into looping with Ableton and the FCB1010. 👍
@@abletondrummerOk. Cool. It makes sense. The Ono is an expansion of the functionality of the vanilla firmware, plus some bug fixes. It wouldn't be logical to break the original functionally. I just bought it now. I have the Uno ROM ready to be installed, but I'll try the device without it first. I have to say I'm impressed with what you have made. It will make life with the FCB1010 and Live way easier for sure. 😊👍
So far I love this device, but when I assign the pedal say to the frequency of an auto filter it only goes from 0 to 127? no gradual sweep. What can I do to change this?
Hey - by pedal you mean the expression pedals on the right or one of the 10 stomp foot switches? (If you mean the stomps : Only the expression pedals can trigger graduate sweeps)
Hey unfortunately Ableton is not making ALL parameters available to be MAPable in the API for Max for Live developers. I included some 'major' function in my FCB plugin but some would need further M4L devices 'in between' for you to be able to access them. The Ableton Looper itself is even more tricky as just with the latest Ableton Live 12 update some more (but unfortunately not all important...) parameters are now being accessible and I m working some M4L device to control the Ableton Looper more flexible atm.
@@abletondrummerAwesome! That’s really great to know and I understand how tricky API stuff can be when the devs don’t make it easy. I’ll keep an eye out for new devices and look for a workaround in the meantime.
@@abletondrummerOh, something I thought of- I’m able to use Ableton’s native key mapping feature with the Looper quite easily. If a future version of your FCB M4L device included a KEY option along with NOTE and MAP-PARAM for programming the individual pedals, this could potentially support users who want to access those features of Max that are trickier to get to through the API.
The device I got in the pipeline is much 'cleaner' and more accessible for more users (I hope haha) - just in case: You are aware of my One Button Live Looper? blog.abletondrummer.com/live-looping-with-ableton-live/
@@abletondrummer Sorry I'm very late to reply- yes, I'm aware of it just trying not to buy another of your devices if I can help it- may end up doing so anyways
I'm experiencing a weird bug that only seems to apply to the "Note to MAP - two values" device. If I open the project, and press the correct button on my FCB1010, nothing happens and the signal stays dry. The second time I press it, the desired effect works. I don't have to press the button twice to trigger the changes from that point onward as long as I don't close the project. Why do I have to press the button twice to trigger the change when I first open my project?
Hey - this is not a bug but intended behaviour. You are toggling between two values regardless of the state of the MAPed parameter. e.g. IF MAPed to a track activator button and sending "0"+"127" (On/Off) : IF the button is already "Off" and you send it a "0" it will stay off. Are you aware of my "FCB1010 Foot Control" plugin and the "MAP To" function on there? This will observe the MAPed parameter and trigger the opposite value. blog.abletondrummer.com/fcb-1010-with-ableton-live/
@@abletondrummer Yes, I have the plugin and I've used that function, I just have some macro values that I'm mapping back and forth between during my set, so not quite an 0/1 situation. It sounds like what you're describing is exactly what's happening though, and I can find a workaround now that this is confirmed. Thank you!
You can place it in front of the looper (or send the Midi To from the track it is sitting on the track the looper is on) and set it to send Midi Notes. You then need the Looper Functions to receive those Midi notes
I guess it's only possible with Scenes, but you can delete all "Stop" buttons on a scene and only place one clip you want to play into the whole lane, then it only plays this single clip, while others are still running (because you removed the STOP buttons) :-) hope that helps
I was JUST dusting my FCB off, trying to get into programming it and was about to give up again. Coding MIDI is definitely NOT my favorite use of time. Thanks!

If a future version of your FCB M4L device included a KEY option along with NOTE and MAP-PARAM for programming the individual pedals, this could potentially support users who want to access those features of Max that are trickier to get to through the API.
The device I got in the pipeline is much 'cleaner' and more accessible for more users (I hope haha) - just in case: You are aware of my One Button Live Looper? blog.abletondrummer.com/live-looping-with-ableton-live/
@@abletondrummer Sorry I'm very late to reply- yes, I'm aware of it just trying not to buy another of your devices if I can help it- may end up doing so anyways
I'm experiencing a weird bug that only seems to apply to the "Note to MAP - two values" device. If I open the project, and press the correct button on my FCB1010, nothing happens and the signal stays dry. The second time I press it, the desired effect works. I don't have to press the button twice to trigger the changes from that point onward as long as I don't close the project. Why do I have to press the button twice to trigger the change when I first open my project?
Hey - this is not a bug but intended behaviour. You are toggling between two values regardless of the state of the MAPed parameter. e.g. IF MAPed to a track activator button and sending "0"+"127" (On/Off) : IF the button is already "Off" and you send it a "0" it will stay off. Are you aware of my "FCB1010 Foot Control" plugin and the "MAP To" function on there? This will observe the MAPed parameter and trigger the opposite value. blog.abletondrummer.com/fcb-1010-with-ableton-live/
@@abletondrummer Yes, I have the plugin and I've used that function, I just have some macro values that I'm mapping back and forth between during my set, so not quite an 0/1 situation. It sounds like what you're describing is exactly what's happening though, and I can find a workaround now that this is confirmed. Thank you!
how can I use your device with the looper ?
You can place it in front of the looper (or send the Midi To from the track it is sitting on the track the looper is on) and set it to send Midi Notes. You then need the Looper Functions to receive those Midi notes
a new Tuto would be a great idea ....@@abletondrummer
Does this work the same as I have modded my fcb with a Eureka chip?
Please write me an email
I did but you haven't replied @@abletondrummer
@@shawnmorgan7839 Hey I replied and just sent it again - Please check your spam folder.
how do you trigger individual clips?
I guess it's only possible with Scenes, but you can delete all "Stop" buttons on a scene and only place one clip you want to play into the whole lane, then it only plays this single clip, while others are still running (because you removed the STOP buttons) :-) hope that helps
I was JUST dusting my FCB off, trying to get into programming it and was about to give up again. Coding MIDI is definitely NOT my favorite use of time. Thanks!
ha great! that's why I made this
@@abletondrummer Ok, I know this just came out, but are you doing any Black Friday sales? Just curious. Thanks!
@@MrStephanAinley I m not doing the black Friday ‚game‘…
