To every one with FCB 1010;
The roland FC-200 is able to accomodate external expression pedals(5-6 if Im not mistaken). I know of the 2 input jacks at the back of the FCB 1010 for controlling amp foot switch. Can you plug in 2 expression pedals into theses jacks? Is there a modification that can be done to accomodate external expression pedals?

Thanks

I’m thinking of using this to improve my company’s work, which is: We get a digital audio of a radio show, and we output the text file. Currently, we’re using cool edit to play audio, and constantly alt-tab from cool edit to word. I’m trying to find a way to control Play, Stop, Rew and Fwd with pedals, so the person typing can only have Word in focus. Anyone has experience with such usage, or idea if that would be possible with this type of gear?

Thanx for any feedback! Cheers

Does anyone know if the FCB-1010 would be able to turn various effects in Live on and off (i.e. Ping Pong, Reverb, Saturator) by programming different Midi channels? Can you assign different effects to different channels? I’m thinking of picking one of these up. I can’t believe it considering I bought the Virtualizer Pro a few years ago. Oh my.

Hi,
last post march 05, ah well lets give it a try.

Has somebody experience controling ableton live with the fcb1010. IÂ´ve already set the buttons “1-10″ to send note on\off commands. Works great, but i have problems with the expression pedals. Live wont respond to any pedal movement.
Any clues?
thnx

i already wrote in about how great the FCB-1010 is.. glad to hear you’re going to eat that hat of yours and give it a try – however, M-Audio, if you ARE listening, STOP! we all know that the only thing that could result is a foot-controller made entirely of SILVER PLASTIC.

I’m with all the guys who use the FCB-1010. It’s a bit fiddly to program but it’s a great bit of kit. I’ve gigged it for over 2 years – dropping it countless times and it doesnt complain.

Well, I said I’d eat my hat before I’d buy another piece of Behringer gear. Consider it eaten; I’ll pick one of these up.

And it’s stunning to me that in this case, they’re the only vendor with a truly programmable foot pedal. Ableton Live is going to radically increase demand for this.

M-Audio, are you listening?

I’ll report back on my FCB-1010 experiences . . .
