How well does the FCB 1010 works with the Tonelib GFX?

Hi,

Mostly unusable for me because of no program change support https://tonelib.net/forums/threads/midi-program-change-support.8119/
Maybe it worth vote for that feature.

 

Haven't tried my FCB1010 with ToneLib yet, but I've gotten that controller to send both PCs and CCs. Kinda a PIA to program the thing, in my experience

 

Actually I am thinking of buying a second hand FCB1010. Nn my guess FCB means Foot Controller Booth or Behringer. By the way Iin my opinion this unit cann't be used as comfortably as modern midi controllers, as it uses very old technology.

I have a project for this board, to remove the orjinal PCB with ruins processor inside and replace it with a modular one. In this way, I guess that I can perform data processing more suitable or compatible with the interface.

 

If you could Frankenstein new, more-efficient guts into the FCB's framework, that would be prime. Its steel chassis could beat off an attack, which is about the best thing going for it.

 

I am probably going to get that midi board. Right now i have a ART X-15 midi board but i can't get it to work right.
my biggest problem is on the X-15 ,ART set the up and down arrows as a "knob" or a "dial" they both have the same CC# so if i set the up arrow to "previous preset" i can't set the down button to "next preset" it tells me that the CC# is already being used.

did you run into anything like that on the FCB?

thanks.

 

hello Candelaria! With FCB it is also possible to manage (start) the battery (time) and the recording? I activate these two functions with a USB pedal but if you could do everything via MIDI it would be convenient to use ONLY 1 pedal board (maybe the FCB that I intend to buy)
Thanks

 

thanks, I checked and it seems we can .. as well as in the "hot keys" section it seems there is also the possibility to assign it via "MIDI"
I was hoping you had already tried!

 

Surely I'm interested! I though about converting PC to CC with some midi tools, but haven't had time yet.

 

@Kott what software are you referring too?

 

I use Linux, so https://github.com/royvegard/qmidiroute can do that, I think.

EDIT: Actual page http://alsamodular.sourceforge.net/

 

Ok, it works. Translating PC to CC is quite easy with qmidiroute, yes you need to keep it running and connected.
Of course there should be the same programs for Win/Mac.

 

great i use Linux too. thanks

 

Hi Angel Candelaria

Just got the FCB 1010, any chance you could share the SysEX file from your 1010 so I can see how you have managed to get this to work. I can't seem to get my head around this midi stuff so if I see yours I may be able to work it out from there.
Thanks
Ric

 

Yes
