MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER FCB1010
s Enter the maximum delay time of the controlled device. Calculate this time value by dividing the time in
milliseconds by 10, then enter the NOTE value. Confirm your entry with UP/ENTER. The SELECT LED
lights up.
+ Please note that the FCB1010 allows for a maximum delay time of 1,270 ms, which is due to
the MIDI standards maximum resolution of 7 bits (= 128 values).
s Press foot switch #6 to activate Control Change 1 (CNT 1).
s Press UP/ENTER again. Now the FCB1010 prompts you to enter a controller number. The NUMBER LED
lights up. Enter the controller number which the manufacturer of your effects device has preset for delay
time changes. Confirm your selection with UP/ENTER. The VAL1 LED lights up.
s The VALUE to be entered now corresponds to the upper limit of the parameter range determined by the
controlled device. That might sound a bit confusing, but its quite easy: the manual that came with the
device usually contains an effects table listing the parameter range to be input via MIDI in order to control
the delay time. For example, the device might use the entire range from 0 through 127; or a limited range
from 0 through 63, and so on. So, the VALUE parameter simply determines the resolution with which the
delay time can be programmed. The higher the value, the higher the resolution.
s Confirm your entry with UP/ENTER. The SELECT LED lights up.
s Disable Control Change 1 (CNT 1) by means of a long foot switch press on foot switch #6. This is necessary
because otherwise each time you select the PRESET used for tempo tapping, the FCB1010 would transmit
the controller defined here (including the adjusted VALUE parameter), instead of the FCB1010-generated
value.
s Quit PRESET programming mode by means of a long press on DOWN. Now, the TAP-TEMPO function is
ready for use.
To use the tap-tempo feature, press the foot switch (which selects the PRESET just programmed) twice in the
rhythm of the music, e.g. every crotchet or quaver note. The FCB1010 will calculate the delay time and send it
to the receiving device, by means of the controller you selected before. If the interval between the two foot
switch presses is greater than the maximum NOTE/NUMBER value, the FCB1010 will divide the time by 2 until
it is equal to or smaller than the maximum value. Thus, a crotchet delay becomes a quaver or semiquaver
delay, depending on which value can be processed in the receiving device.
2.5 Data storage
2.5.1 Saving the FCB1010 memory with the help of SysEx dumps
The FCB1010 allows you to transmit PRESETS in the form of system-exclusive data to a sequencer or other
MIDI recorder. In this way, you can save your data or manage several MIDI set-ups (e.g. studio equipment,
guitar equipment, etc.).
If you wish to save your data on an external sequencer/computer, please follow the instructions below:
s Connect the MIDI OUT of your FCB1010 to the MIDI IN of your sequencer/computer.
s Keep the DOWN switch pressed during power-up to enter the GLOBAL SETUP menu.
s Press UP until the CONFIGURATION LED lights up. Now the unit is in CONFIGURATION mode.
s Start the RECORD function on your sequencer/computer. Then press foot switch #6 to dump the FCB1010
data. Quit the GLOBAL SETUP menu by means of a long press on DOWN.
2.5.2 Receiving SysEx dumps
To send back FCB1010 data stored on a sequencer/computer before, please follow the instructions below:
s Keep the DOWN switch pressed during power-up to enter the GLOBAL SETUP menu.
s Press UP until the CONFIGURATION LED lights up. Now the unit is in CONFIGURATION mode.
