Dear Rithma
OK, Lets fix this programming the FCB1010 issue
once and for all:
Its EASY OK... ?
First... what numbers do we wanna program for the
EDP???
MIDI NOTE NUMBERS. Which ones? (OK a little tricky)
HOW TO FIGURE THE NUMBERS
OUT
Its the notes stated in the manual PLUS the number
you have entered in Source# (Press Parameters 3 times and multiply
once)
The reason for this "offset" number is a little
obscure and esoteric and the reason why the default number is 36 is completely
mystifying, however it is, it doesnt matter and it could be any number
there.
So in the manual it says that RECORD is note number
2, SO.. if your offset number is 36, you need to program 38 into
the footswitch on the FCB1010.
(I realise Rithma that you bought your EDP off
someone in the street so prob dont have the manual, so I have pasted the numbers
at the bottom of this mail)
Simple!!!
SO now to the footpedal!
First we set the global midi
channel. Now this is where some people have some confusion. IT
IS NOT TRUE that the FCB1010 can only send on one midi channel, but that EACH
MIDI FUNCTION whether its the "send midi note" or "program change" etc...
each one can only be a set midi channel, and the foot pedal can send 5X program
changes (so therefore on 5 different midi channels if you want) 2X control
change messages, 2 Expression pedal messages (cos theres 2 expression pedals ha
ha) and BINGO (but Boo hiss gah that theres only one) ONE MISERABLE note
message... but thats fine... we only have ONE EDP ... right???
SO lets set the midi channel for NOTE.
1. Hold down the DOWN pedal while you power the
pedal up (now we are in GLOBAL SETUP)
2.Is the Green Direct Select Button lit? If not
press pedal 10 (Lets not worry what this does, who cares eh??) the Green light
is on...
3.Press pedal 10 (This is the pedal for NOTE
selection) The MIDI CHAN LED lights up, while the number in the display starts
to flash
4. Choose the midi number you want (the one that
the EDP is set to) by using the expression pedal 1.
5. Press UP pedal to confirm
6. Press Down pedal for MORE than 3 seconds to exit
Global mode.
Then we
program the
pedals... and yes this takes time...
1) First Select the pedal you wish to program. 6 for example is my RECORD
button (little tricky to press... yes.. but out of the way so i dont do it
accidentally)
2) Press the DOWN button for longer than 3 seconds (enters pedal programming mode) 3) We are now in "Switch mode", which we dont give a shit about so... PRESS
UP to continue...
4) We are now where we want to be. Are there any pedals lit up? Press
and HOLD to switch them on or off.
5) We want Pedal 10 lit (for a NOTE function), but all the others
off.
6) Now we press Pedal 10 quick, it starts to blink.
7) Press UP to confirm that you wish to Re program this pedal, and the
number display starts to flash.
8) Use the Expression pedal to choose YOUR RECORD (or whatever) button
number, remember 2 plus your Source # offset number, mine is 38
9) UP to confirm
10) Long press of DOWN to leave programming area.
Now program all your other EDP functions, and remember if you want a bank
set aside for changing your Presets THEN you will use Program Change numbers NOT
NOTE numbers.
Voila!!
