To help me out with all this midi stuff I installed MidiMonitor to keep track of all the messages going in and out of the computer. Great little program. I also used it to generate a detailed list of all the messages I'm sending on each bank...it's gotten complicated enough that I've started forgetting what is where... Anyway...what's been pretty enlightening, watching the midi messages scroll by, is noticing a few bits of "extra" data being sent along with my patches.... occasionally. I also I noticed that the Repeaters don't wig out so much when controlled by the computer as they do when controlled by the FCB1010. I think quite a few of my long-standing midi problems are about the foot controller, not the Repeater. (with one exception: every now and then I can still make the Repeater speed by pressing the Multiply button on the front, and if I send too many messages at once, or messages in rapid succession the unit will get stuck with a "Not Ready" message on the LCD...but these problems are my old friends now and we're used to each other) So back to those "extra", messages from the FCB1010... has anyone ever noticed them??? In my case, it's always "hidden" Control data from CNT1, that is turned off in a patch, but about every 2nd press, gets sent anyway! I can make it happen consistently every other time by sending a Note message. To test, I turned off every single switch in a bank of patches, EXCEPT for the Note switch (switch 0). The "bonus" Control message sent with the Note message is always what WOULD be sent if CNT1 switch (switch 6) were on. Very interesting.... I'm going to take this up on the FCB1010 forum, but since there are a few people who use this pedal, I thought I'd mention it. Wish those Ground Control buttons weren't those little metal doo- dads....or I'd use that...
