Thanks for the walk through. At this point I am even more confused than I was before. It appears that my Behringer is sending CC messages very strangely (expression pedal or not). For example, I go to program a preset with nothing in it, choose pedal six (CC) and select a command number and a value. Now the really strange thing is, neither of these seem to match ANYTHING in the Repeater midi command list. I can enter CC #03 and a value of 127 and it sends the Repeater into record. I can send CC#14 and a value of 03 and it sends the Repeater into record. I can send CC#14 and a value of 02 and it starts and stops the Repeater. The really frustrating part of this is not being certain enough of what I'm doing midi wise to troubleshoot this and rule out user error versus a defective unit (Repeater or FCB). I have a software upgrade on the way so perhaps that will solve the problem. Or perhaps I could simply scrap it all and go back to being happy. sigh Kevin SRice wrote: >I'm just back from a week away; two things caught my attention >skimming LD digests(and deleting every other one.)
