FCB1010 question

  Hello,

As some of you may recall, I sent a message a few days back saying how 
I, a complete midiot, had no need for a sysex file for the FCB 1010 
since I had figured out how to program it all by myself.  Or so I 
thought (I grasp the theory at least).  What I discovered last night is 
that I don't seem to be able to program the expression pedals properly 
at all.  I'm using this to control the Repeater (or trying to) btw.  Now 
the problem is this, I go into programming mode, choose the expression 
pedal, select the controller number I want to send and then enter the 
range  0-127 or 40-75, etc).  Now this is all well and good until I try 
and actually use the pedal and then I find that is sending all kinds of 
commands to the repeater (multiply by 2, reverse, record select, start, 
loop select up and down).  It runs through all of these when I move the 
pedal up or down.  Do it fast enough and it will freeze the Repeater (I 
actually had it come up with the screen multiply by 1 (?!) and then it 
locked up).

After a little experimentation, it seems that the expression pedals 
primarily run the repeater through the loops (1' to 64 and back).  Move 
the pedal fast enough and then I can get the other commands (record, 
reverse, mult by 2, etc).  It really doesn't seem to matter what values 
I program in for the pedal (I can turn them on or off in a preset, but 
nothing else seems to stick).

So, anyone know what I'm missing or have any idea of why this might be?

Thanks

Kevin
