I'm just back from a week away; two things caught my attention skimming LD digests(and deleting every other one.) First is the Doepfer midi controller, which is available "guts only" so I can (try to)attach my own pots. Second was a question on programming the expression pedals of a fcb1010. Here is an example of the latter. I'll start by assuming that is already connecting and working with PC messages. The steps below will program the 1010 so that whenever a switch is pushed, an expression pedal will transmit tempo change midi CC commands to a Repeater. 1) Tap the UP and DOWN switches to select a bank. >Each bank must be programmed separately. 2) Pick a switch which will put the expression pedal into change tempo mode. Any of the switches from 1 to 10 may be used. Tap this switch. >Note that within a bank an ex-ped may have more than one function. 3) Depress the DOWN switch for several seconds. > You are down in programming mode. 4) Deselect every switch, and select switch 8. To select and deselect a switch, depress it for several seconds. > At this point switch 8 should be the only switch with an illuminated LED. >NB: Each switch can send several midi commands, this example uses only a single CC command. 5) Tap switch 8. Switch 8 should now be blinking. 6) Tap the UP switch. > This confirms your selection. 7) Raise and lower ex-ped A until the numeric LED shows "9" 8) Tap the UP switch. 9) Raise and lower ex-ped A until the numeric LED shows "0" 10) Tap the UP switch. 11) Raise and lower ex-ped A until the numeric LED shows "127" 12) Tap the UP switch. 13) Depress the DOWN switch for several seconds. > You are now out of programming mode. So, in order to send a tempo change to the repeater, tap the switch you chose in step 2, then use ex-ped A. If you get unexpected or inconsistent results, the reason is probably that another switch is reprogramming the ex-ped. Either go through every other switch on every bank you use and disable the ex-ped, so that it never gets reprogrammed, or program the desired function for every switch. The ex-peds stay in the last state they were configured by one of the switches. By programming some(often the same) ex-ped function for every switch you can both maintain a given midi cc function for the ex-peds and change their function as desired. For my 1010 I have two banks set up for recording, and on one I use ex-ped A and B for levels on track one and two, and the other bank users A & B for levels on three and four. On two more banks most switches don't send any PC commands, but define the ex-pedals to access the many repeater parameters accessible only by midi CC.
