![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Once you catch on, you will realize how quick and easy this is. I hope this makes sense to the FCB users. I usually set the TYPE parameter to ABSOLUTE. In Mainstage, go to the LAYOUT tab and select your on/off button for the 1st pedal and use the LEARN function. Press and release the DOWN button, then the UP button, then press and hold pedal 7 (CNT2) until it lights, the press and release so that it blinks. Now we assign it as CC#1 by pressing pedals 10 then 1. (note: if the pedal is previously assigned, the light will already be lit.) ![]() Confirm by pressing the Up button and release. Pedal 1 is the one we selected and so we want to tell the FCB that we want it to be a CC# so press pedal 6 (CNT#1) until it lights - press it again until it blinks. Here is where we assign the CC# to the pedals. The display goes blank except for a flashing green light. To do this, press a pedal ( use pedal 1 ) to be programmed. To turn a pedal switch on/off, the FCB will first have to be set up for such a thing. So in Mainstage, you assign a pedal to a patch. After the numbers count down, release the pedals. (power unit off, hold down pedal 1 & 6 and power ON the unit. (BTW i've never understood how multi level chess worked haha.)Ī factory reset on the FCB will reset the Program change numbers back to a chronological order. I'm not sure if this is the actual function of the up / down pedals, or even if the regular midi foot controllers are intended to work that way, but if there is any way I can get them to work with those settings, that is what I am going for. So when I hit the up pedal, I would move to the patch above the current, down would move down. I would also like the up / down buttons to function in a way that would let me move through my patches. Same for pedal 2 / 3 / 4 etc with reverb, delay, tremolo. If I click pedal 1 again, the distortion would go off. When I hit pedal 1 on the FCB1010, i would like it to trigger a stomp box in mainstage to say, turn on the distortion. Basically, i'm trying to get the pedal to act as an on/off button. Yikes ok that sounds really confusing lol. It gets confusing because there is really no feedback as to what you are doing, unless you know what to expect at each stage.Īre you doing this in Mainstage, or Logic? It took me months before having that ' AHA!' moment. The manual is actually dead on with programming the FCB, but the concept doesn't make any sense until after the light comes on (in your head). Pick a pedal/device and be specific with what you want and maybe I could give you a '101' on the basics. So stepping on pedal 1 could send out Midi channel 1 - Program change #1, CC#7 (volume control/wah control), Expression pedal value of 39 to 94. Yes, but you need to rethink the process as if you were playing a game of multi level chess.Įach pedal contains info for the program #, the CC#, and then the value for the expression pedals. Does anyone know how I could go about setting this up so it works? It seems that the volume pedals are configuring properly, but the 10 buttons it comes with and the up and down buttons are not configuring properly. I'm trying to configure my Behringer FCB1010 Midi Foot Controller to work as my stombox for effects / pedals, but I'm having trouble getting it to "learn" the functions. ![]()
