Hi and thanks. Yes, it can control something like the NDLR, basically anything that has MIDI and responds to CC messages. Had a quick look at the NDLR manual and there’s a comprehensive MIDI Implementation table at the back showing what CC’s do what - any of these CC message could be sent to it from the FCB1010. Am presuming as well you could probably send note values from the FCB1010 to trigger chords with your feet if wanted 🙂. Cheers.
Hi, that was great! Another MIDI nerd. I am a drummer using edrums since 2019 and grabbed a FCB1010. I always became jealous of our guitarist who used this thing to go through his amp presets back in 2014. I switch hihat to cowbell to stack or change the MIDI routing through Cantabile 4.0. Anyway did you try to play notes, like kind of a bass pedal?
Thank you good sir for the sub and glad you found a use for the FCB1010. Tbh mine too sat under my desk for about 2 years until I finally worked this out ! 🙂
Great explanation of the controller. I have some questions please. I had to stop playing saxophone a very long time ago because of multiple joint issues. I have a Yamaha WX-5 MIDFI wind controller, with VL70m tone generator. If I had a pedal for my foot to replace what I do with my jaw and foot switches to replace octave up and down, I might be able to play my wind controller again. Being able to add in playing with filters or loops is exciting. How would I hook this all up? I can get a wireless MIDI dongle for the WX-5 as the WX-5 can be powered from 6 AAAs. I have zero experience with DAWs, I'm just starting to mess around with GarageBand on my iPad and I have a MacBook Pro. I'd ideally like to use the WX-5 as a MIDI controller with (hopefully nothing more complex than) GarageBand (for now). I'd appreciate doing that with my lovely earbuds, which when used with iPad GarageBand has no noticeable latency. I'm also wondering if there's enough space to use both pedals simultaneously, one per foot? Would I be ok operating the FCB1010 sat at armchair height? Many thanks for any advice from anyone.
Hi, not familiar with WX-5 or VL70m, however if for example the wx-5 transmits cc messages which I assume it does then you should be able to control/assign these functions on the FCB1010. Also in answer to some of the other points, the pedals are quite large - so yes you could use both at the same time and, using the FCB1010 sitting down would work fine. The only issue would be performing pitch bends, which as far as I understand are performed using the mouthpiece. The trouble is with pitch bend, is it isn’t a standard CC message and its values don’t run from 0-127 like standard CCs. Also it starts at a ‘mid-point’, e.g a pitch bend wheel on a synth springs back to the mid point so you can bend up or down and I assume pitch bend operates similar to this on the wx-5. Not sure what the solution to the pitch bend issue is, but the FCB1010 should be able to do pretty much everything you else you need alongside your wx5/vl70m and GarageBand. Hope that helps a little 🙂
PS There is a little box from a company called MIDI Solutions (I have few of their boxes) called a ‘Pedal Controller’ which you can program to enable an expression pedal to control pitch bend (costs about £100 GBP) It may be that this could work with the FCB1010 to enable pitch bending, or it could work with a separate expression pedal for pitch bend, leaving the pedals on the FCB1010 to control other parameters. Even with this box, it’s best set to either bend up or bend down, as otherwise it’s very difficult to find the mid point on an expression pedal to get back to the original pitch. Might be worth emailing the guys at MIDI solutions to see if this could be a possible solution ? 🙂
@@splootyvision Thank you so much for replying! I made a typo, the WX-5 is MIDI, it uses CCs, sorry if I caused a misunderstanding. The WX-5 does actually have a thumb wheel that can be assigned to either pitch bend or modulation, it's just really awkward to use when playing. You've given me an inspiration: pitch bend on a sax really is more about vibrato, so just a vibrato effect on a pedal should be enough for me there, control intensity with pedal position. I'm not sure I would have realised this without you, thank you so much. I think my next step is to spend some time with my WX-5, I think I can set it to make noise without blowing in it. If my hands are happy holding it and still work well enough to practise, then I'll look into hooking all the equipment up. If I can't, then maybe it's time to sell it, along with the tone generator. I'll be sure to watch your set up video, if I get the FCB1010. Thanks again.
@@splootyvision I missed your PS, as I was replying to you. Thanks so much for letting me know about the pedal controller, kind of you to take the time. As my other message says, I now realise it's not really pitch bend I was after, but a vibrato effect.
The only way I’m aware is using the assignable footswitch on the back of the MODX connected to Switch 1 on the back of the FCB1010. I currently have mine linked like this to control the ARP on/off, but if I go into Utility on the MODX I can change the assignable footswitch to start/stop the play button. Personally I have the FCB1010 set up to control all the transport functions in my DAW (Cubase) instead - I’ve got a video on that here: th-cam.com/video/uUy1o8sSxzA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DvWgxuKNboqJrMhP
Yes, you can 🙂. You just need to know the MSB, LSB and PC numbers for the patches (which are all listed in the ‘parameter manual’ for the DS). The FCB1010 can store 10 banks of 10 presets so you could effectively program it to trigger up to 100 different presets on your DS. For each preset on the FCB1010 you’ll need to program the CC messages as ‘00’ and ‘32’ which are the CC values for MSB and LSB and then assign the relevant values to these CCs as shown in the DS patch list and then program a ‘PC’ (program change) value, again as listed in the patch list. Then when you hit a footswitch on the FCB1010 it will load the relevant preset sound on your DS according to the MSB,LSB and PC values it receives. Hope that helps, let me know if need any further details 😊
@@splootyvision I used "Midi Read" software to visualize the FAV-2 Botton settings for my FAV-Split sounds, and this is what it appeared [all 3 messages for that button]: - Controller Bank Select:85 channel 16 value 85 HEX BF 00 85 - Cintroller Bank select [fine]: 0 channel 16, value 0, HEX BF 20 00 - Program Change:2 Channel 16, Hex CF 02 I have no idea as to whether Hex values should be programmed in the FCB 1010 or how, as its software only has MSB and LSB values.

@@thephoenixchant In that example the MSB is 85, the LSB is 0 and the PC value is 2, those are what you need to program into the FCB1010. Believe I sent a reply on a previous comment of yours the other day with details of how you program those values into the FCB1010 🙂
Hi. Would I be able to control a Proteus 2000 and a Proteus Vintage Keys Plus to change sounds such as going from a Hammond B3 to let's say a flute, etc and out to a Roland Digital accordion that accepts MIDI? My accordion can only switch between 10 different sounds which isn't enough. I use a MRCC880 to switch between the different Proteus modules currently. I'm a MIDI newbie. Thank you
Hi , Short answer - yes that is possible. Long answer and hopefully this will all make sense: The FCB1010 can send out up to 5 program changes at once from each footswitch and you can have 10 banks so that's effectively 100 foot switches each sending up to 5 program changes simultaneously. Program changes can be MIDI channel specific, so you could with one press of a footswitch for example send one program change on Channel 1 and another on Channel 2 at the same time. If you are using an MRCC just plug the FCB1010 into it so it can talk to the other connected gear and you should be good to go. The programming is done using MSB, LSB and PC (Program Change) values which starts to sound fairly complex but once you've got your head round it is fairly simple (and best programmed on the FCB1010 using one of the available software editors). Basically your sounds will be organised in the synths in say banks, then within each bank will be a 'sub bank' and then in that sub bank a number of different sounds (sort of like a folder/subfolder system on a computer). The MSB is the Bank, the LSB is the Sub bank and the PC (program change) is the Sound. Having a quick look at an old Proteus 2000 manual finding out these values is fairly easy, if you press the audition button for a sound it will give you all the information. Taking the example from the manual, along the top it will say 'Bank Sel' followed by 0:00 which is the MSB, 32:3 which is the LSB and then on the second row of the display the preset number (002 in this case) and the type and name of the sound (Pad: RifTrippin'). On the FCB 1010 for a given sound you would then program a footswitch with CC1 set to 00, with a value of 0 and then CC2 set to 32 with a value of 3 and then the PC value to 002. (CC numbers 00 and 32 are the CC numbers for MSB and LSB) When you then press that footswitch the corresponding preset/sound on the Proteus will be loaded. Effectively you could have 100 presets programmed on Channel 1 and 100 presets programmed on Channel 2 and dependant on the routing from the MRCC could then change patch in either of the Proteus or both at the same time. Hope that all helps. Cheers 🙂

Hi, depends really on what parts of the KS Pro you want to control, but from what I've read it gets very complicated (and above my pay grade 😂). The main problem would be that the FCB can't send MMC messages (MIDI machine control), which are used to trigger things like start, stop, record etc. There's probably a way of doing it with additional software and midi translators, but as I say would all get very complicated and not something I know how to resolve I'm afraid. Sorry couldn't help further.

@@wichischannel2910 Hi, think I mentioned that in one of the other videos, but in case I didn't: In simple terms you just need a midi cable from the MIDI Out of the FCB1010 to the MIDI In on the MODX and then a standard jack cable from the 'Foot Switch 1' on the back of the FCB 1010 to the 'Assignable Switch' Input on the back of the MODX. You can then program the FCB manually and it will 'talk' to the MODX. If you want to use the software editors then you need to plug the MIDI In & Out from the FCB into the opposing MIDI In & Out on a MIDI interface so it can talk with your PC (my audio interface has midi ports that serve this purpose). Once you've loaded stuff to the FCB you can then disconnect it from the PC and re-establish the connections to the synth. Hope that helps, thanks.

Can this control the transpose/octave function?
Hi - unfortunately it can't however there is a workaround.
You can store 'pitch' settings for each part in an individual performance on the MODX and then use the FCB1010 to switch between those performances.
In order to change pitch settings, go to a performance on the MODX, go into edit mode, choose the part (e.g. Part 1) , then choose part settings and pitch. You'll see a box called 'Note Shift' that can be changed +/- 24 semitones.
If you change this value and then click the store button it will be saved with that performance. If your performance has more than 1 part, you would need to change the pitch settings for each part to match.
So.......effectively what you can do is save separate performances for the octave/transpose settings you want and then either:
Save them in your Live Set in the order you want to play them, set the Assignable foot switch to 'Live Set+' and use a footswitch on the FCB1010 to advance through the different performances (which will all be at different pitch/octave settings)
OR
Program footswitches on the FCB1010 to send a Program Change Message to change to the relevant performance which has the pitch/octave setting you want.
I think the second option here is best as if you accidentally press the footswitch twice it will keep advancing through the live sets and you'll lose your spot, but with the program change it takes you direct to the performance you want with all the correct settings.
Hope that helps. Cheers.

The main problem would be that the FCB can't send MMC messages (MIDI machine control), which are used to trigger things like start, stop, record etc. There's probably a way of doing it with additional software and midi translators, but as I say would all get very complicated and not something I know how to resolve I'm afraid. Sorry couldn't help further.
Please tell me, will the controller work with Korg KronosX?
It certainly will 🙂
@@splootyvision Thanks for the quick response! Such a controller will help me a lot, since my hands are busy with a guitar, and my voice is a microphone on stage. I'm ordering from Ebay today! Thanks again!
@@sergeyushakov8064 Also, if you go to @narfsounds he’s done a couple of videos on the FCB1010 and the Kronos, things like triggering chord pads with the foot switches, changing parameters and effects etc.

Could you please show us all the connections and which cables you pluged in?
@@wichischannel2910 Hi, think I mentioned that in one of the other videos, but in case I didn't:
In simple terms you just need a midi cable from the MIDI Out of the FCB1010 to the MIDI In on the MODX and then a standard jack cable from the 'Foot Switch 1' on the back of the FCB 1010 to the 'Assignable Switch' Input on the back of the MODX. You can then program the FCB manually and it will 'talk' to the MODX.
If you want to use the software editors then you need to plug the MIDI In & Out from the FCB into the opposing MIDI In & Out on a MIDI interface so it can talk with your PC (my audio interface has midi ports that serve this purpose). Once you've loaded stuff to the FCB you can then disconnect it from the PC and re-establish the connections to the synth. Hope that helps, thanks.
