the FCB1010 sends note-OFF when you release the footswitch
(or an equivalent note-ON with vel=0)

Yes, I have a  MFC10, it's easy to program and got 
lots of nice features. However there's an incredible delay
between hitting the switch and getting a response,
almost 100ms!!!
This delay was confirmed by Yamaha UK tech support.
