Sure. But not by the list I'm afraid, such attachment has to be sent
privately.

You're so right. However IMHO programming the pedal is part of the
"instrument" I play.

He, he... Well, I've been practicing some programming around here ;-) If 
you
mail me privately I could send you my sys ex file, so you can   try it (got
it backed up here on the computer). But my FCB1010 is not set up for only
the Repeater. I also use one bank to control my EDP and another bank for
changing the EDP programs by program change.

Anyway, here's my FCB specs (so you can see if it does at all apply to your
situation):


BANK 00: (Repeater)

Pad 01: Replace/Overdub
Pad 02: Record. Pedal 1=Overdub Feedback Level
Pad 03: Multiply
Pad 04: Undo
Pad 05: Slip track 4
Pad 06: Record select track 1, pitch -12. Pedal 1=level tr 1
Pad 07: Record select track 2, pitch -12. Pedal 1=level tr 2
Pad 08: Record select track 3. Pedal 1=level tr 3
Pad 09: Record select track 4. Pedal 1=level tr 4
Pad 10: Record select track 3/4 as a stereo track


BANK 01: (Repeater)

Pad 01: Reverse
Pad 02: Record. Pedal 1=Overdub Feedback Level
Pad 03: Multiply
Pad 04: Undo
Pad 05: Play
Pad 06: Loop 1
Pad 07: Loop 2
Pad 08: Loop 3
Pad 09: Loop 4
Pad 10: Loop 5


BANK 02: (Repeater)

Not programmed yet, but I'm planning to use it just as bank 01 but with the
access to Repeater Loop 6-10. That is, IF I ever find a need for using that
many loops for a performance.


BANK 03: (EDP) I'm also using the

Pad 01: Record
Pad 02: Overdub
Pad 03: Multiply
Pad 04: Undo
Pad 05: Next
Pad 06: Reverse
Pad 07: Half Speed
Pad 08: -
Pad 09: -
Pad 10: -


BANK 04: (EDP)

Pad 01: Program 01. 8th/cycle set to 1. Toggle.
Pad 02: Program 02. 8th/cycle set to 2. Toggle.
Pad 03: Program 03. 8th/cycle set to 3. Toggle.
Pad 04: Program 04. 8th/cycle set to 4. Toggle.
Pad 05: Program 05. 8th/cycle set to 5. Toggle.
Pad 06: Program 06. 8th/cycle set to 6. Toggle.
Pad 07: Program 07. 8th/cycle set to 7. Toggle.
Pad 08: Program 08. 8th/cycle set to 8. Toggle.
Pad 09: Program 09. 8th/cycle set to 4. Sustain.
Pad 10: Program 10. 8th/cycle set to 8. Sustain.


BANK 09: (set-up patches)

(don't remember exactly which pads)
Pad 01: Rptr Delete all loops.
Pad 02: Rptr panning tr 1 and 3 left, tr 2 and 4 right.
Pad 03: Rptr Dry Mute.
Pad 04: Rptr tr 3 and 4 to effect loop.
Pad 06: EDP - Long Undo
Pad 07: EDP - Reset
Pad 08: EDP - General Reset

Expression pedal 2 used for EDP feedback through all patches.
Repeater listening to midi channel 8.
EDP listening to midi channel 2.

I'm using an external mixer, hence the Repeater set-up as a "four mono out"
unit with the direct signal muted.

Best wishes
