I watched this a few years ago when I got my FCB101, I am so glad I watched it again. Very helpful and much appreciated! Thank you!

I've had The FCB for over a year now, just sitting on the floor collecting dust and dirt.. THANK YOU! Now I can finally use it, it became from my worst enemy to my dearest friend within this 46 minute video tutorial. So many options my mind is blown. I didn't even know what to do with it,, but now I am completely overwhelmed by the sheer number of possibilities this device can be used for. So I will say it again, THANK YOU!

I just got mines today. I've seen people talk about how complicated it was to use and realized today why. They ship these with literally no user manual and expect us to just know how to use it right out of the box. Thanks for helping us understand how this device works!

My unit came without a proper manual. I could not have been started without your help. THANKS.

Wow, what an amazing tutorial! Well prepared, precise and to the point. Easy to follow. Really great work guys.

This is hands down the greatest youtube tutorial I have ever watched. Thank you so much. Thanks to you I now have the knowledge and power to switch from vegetarian industrial death metal to porn groove deep house with the push of a button. Now I just need to find a Midi compatible toaster and I'll be set for life. Definitely subscribing!

I've got one of these arriving in the next 24 hours with no experience of programming it I thought I'd try YT and see if anything would help - this video was excellent 10/10 - it explained all the steps clearly and the examples were shown at a perfect speed and with relevant content . Many thanks.

You are amazing! This is a fantastic video and really shows off the power of the FCB1010. I just bought one after watching your video. Thank you so much for putting this together, I really enjoyed watching this and will surely keep coming back as I start to program my new FCB1010.

Thank you super much! I have watched many other videos about using the FCB1010 and also read the manual, but only this video explained some critical details, which both the manual and other videos left out. Now finally it all makes sense!

Wow. This is a really really good, well prepared video. You are awsome for doing this. Detailed accurate and well thought out. You have a bright future.

So thankful for this tutorial. I greatly appreciate the time you took out of your life and schedule to make this video. Know that you have really helped someone and saved them a lot of frustration! Thanks again!

it's amaizing how clear, calming and patient your naration is.

I'm glad I found this channel, One of the best UKposts channels there is.

Well, that was spectacular! I had no idea how powerful this thing was. Fantastic video presentation of it all ... except what's in the next video hahaha! Thanks for your work! Behringer should pay you!

Such a great, well made video. Thank you! I hope others learn from what you do here.

Omg, this is so good. The choices of what is discussed, the explanations are so good. Thank you so much for this great video.

This is so perfect and clear. You have totally demystified this thing.

Thanks for making this thorough tutorial.

Best tutorial so far. Should be promoted for more views.

Great job, I just got mine haven't even plugged it in yet... I really can't wait to tear this thing up let's GO!

Lifesaver!!! Thank you guys!!!

I used this video to help set up an FSB to control XR18 channel mutes. Awesome reference work and great narration. Thanks so much!

THANKS SO MUCH for including the info on programming and calibration of the expression pedals. I just received a brand new FCB1010, and was trying to set it up to use with my iPad. When trying to route the expression pedals to control an app, it showed the pedal going from 0 to 127 almost immediately, barely moving the pedal. I tried all kinds of stuff, but no change. Then I remembered the calibration procedure you described, and tried it… bingo! Works just right now. BOTH exp pedals were in this state, and the calibration fixed both of them. Once again, Extremely grateful that you included this info; not sure anyone at Sweetwater would have known… and absolutely disgusted with Behringer that they actually ship the FCB1010 in this condition…

This is such a great tutorial! Subscribed ✅️

very good instruction i love how easy your voice is to listen too

Thanks a MILLION... Had no idea I had to attend school to use MIDI footswitch but I'm glad I learned all of this.

Extremely professional! Many thanks

God bless you 🙏 idk how I was gonna program the fcb without your video.

Hidden gem - thanks a million!

You saved my life! Tutorial n. 1!🏆🎖🏅

Very clear tutorial. Great work

Very helpful. Thanks for making this video!

This is exactly what I have been looking for. I do solo performances on keyboards and on many occasions I need both hands free and instead, I'm hoping to be able to change the chords of the styles with my foot. I have to try this. thanks a lot for this great tutorial.

Excellent video. Very informative. Very well edited.

On point, very informative, this is an amazing product!!!

Fabulous video. Really informative, clear and well presented. I wish I'd had this when I first purchased by FCB1010!

Thank you - extremely well presented and very easy to follow! I could have never done this following Behringer's instructions.

OUTSTANDING!!!

Magnificent tutorial.. I set this pedal aside after reading the manual because the manual sucked and couldn't tell me what I needed to do! You made it simple. (I am not a novice with midi either this is just a confusing manual.) Thank you ever so much!!!

Thank you very much for making this video. You are amazing! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you. Great content! So much information, need to watch it many times! A little more space dead space between all of the points that you make would allow the listener time to (at least me!) to understand and retain all the gems! Thanks again. Best Steve

Awesome awesome tutorial. Thanks guys for your time helping us!

very informative, thank you!

Thanks a lot for sharing!

excellent and very thorough video, thanks

Thanks! Brilliant.

What a perfect tutorial Thank you so much !

definitely a video to add to the saved list :-) finally figured it out. I don't know who designs these things, they didnt have keyboard players in mind when they did. Not being able to change midi channels on the fly is a real pain.

This was extremely helpful tutorial thank you so so much. My friend and I would have been lost in the weeds trying to figure this out on our own. He bought one of these for 80$ at pawn shop

THANK YOU!

Thank you so much!!!! Excellent video!! So grateful!!

What a great video, it was very informative!

Excellent job! Thank you very much!

Now thats a tutorial, thank you so much

Thank you!

Thank you thank you and THANK YOU!!!

Thanks! 💯

Wow! THE most comprehensive tutorial video ever. You should sell it to Udemy or the like.

Very good video thank you

this is must watch if your new to Midi and you buy one of these pedals

only half way through but this is so so useful, thank you

Thank you thank you thank you!

Thanks a lot!

A useful video thank-you. 🙏 The biggest limitation of the fcb1010 is that MIDI channel selection is only global, so it cannot be used to send control multiple devices. So disappointing. 😢

Thx very useful !

First and foremost, thank you thank you thank you. You are a wealth of sought after information. I have a question regarding preset configurations and whether you can upload along with program and control changes and sysex data?

I have the Behringer FCB1010. I bought this to change drum kit sounds on my Alesis Strike Pro SE set. The Alesis manual says cc 118 and 119 go forward and back through the kits. I need midi channel 2 with the 2 numbers on 2 different pedals so I can change sets during my drum solo. How is this done?

Looks like I'm two years late to the party and also new to the FCB1010, but I have to say this is absolutely the best tutorial I've seen on UKposts regarding Musical Equipment. In The Mix your thoroughness is second to none. Before I buy this there is one question. Will I be able to control 16 MIDI devices or up to 127?................ Thank you for a wonderful presentation and BTW you have a great voice.

This is very clear but I am new to controllers, midi, cc, pc, etc. I wish there were a video for beginners. If I understood what was being taught here, this video would be very helpful.

I would really love for you to do a video with just Mini controlling guitar amps that have Built-in effects as well as being Daisy chained to TC electronic's G force.

Hi! Thanks a lot for this great work. I was wondering if you covered CC commands in an other video (without expression pedals)

Awesome Video, Thank You. I am programming the footswitch to control Note on messages for a light controller, the switches are acting as momentaries....how to you program so it latches?

Thank you for this excellent tutorial. Do you know if it’s possible to cause the lights on the FCB1010’s switches to correpsond with the on/off states of VST effects pedals? In other words, to use the foot switches as toggles and have the LEDs reflect that?

Not sure if you mention since I only skipped around, but there is third-party software called iFCB that let's one edit the FCB1010 on a computer via USB. Pretty handy stuff! Also thanks for a great tutorial!

I love this video purely for making me realise that it's possible to mod the horrible firmware that this otherwise very powerful piece of hardware ships with!

First. Thanks for the video. High quality and clear. I have a question. I use keyboards of the type: Yamaha S X900 Do you know if it is possible to set the fcb 1010 to be in the role of multi pad or reset tap tempo and more? I would love for you to answer me. thank you very much.

Thanks for making such an amazing video for an older piece of gear ! I've bought mine some years ago but never really used it. Is there no way to have a preset send 5 PC messages but on different channels ? My guess is no. I'm trying to have a PC message to my midi controlled guitar amp, and a PC message for my fx rack on a different channel.

Hi, will this work if I change the switches that come with it which are "permanently open" circuit to "permanently closed" in order to match the action with Boss RC 505 pedal? Thank you for the good work

This IS rocket science for me :)) but well done 🤟

Could this video be done with a Yamaha Genos? I can't program the pedal for the Genos. Thanks

Wishlist, A video on guitar-in effects of the Korg PA700 using the FCB to switch from clean, chorus and distortion for my electric guitar. Thank you

Congrats & Thank You for such a comprehensive and detailed tutorial !!! I was wondering if there is a way to set a pedal for an "octave down" change. I believe this would require 12 "semitone down" messages stream programmed into one pedal. Another interesting challenge could be sending 12 "semitone up" messages to return to original octave when the pedal is released. I'm afraid these will not be possible.

Does adding the chip for being able to use a Boss RC-505 remove any of the standard features of the foot pedal, or does it simple add more features? I'd like to be able to use this for guitar, synths, and also the Boos RC-505 mk2, without removing any of the stock features.

Hi! Thank you very much for this amazing tutorial. I have some questions if you don't mind. 1) I have 4 synthesizers that can receive CC from external expression pedals. The Moog one is actually 3 synths in one, so a total of 7 synths. I can set all synths to receive midi on different midi channels, for instance, I can set all synths from midi channel 1 to 7. The question is: Can I program the FCB to send expression to different channels? An example of what I want to achieve is to send volume to the Pa4X, panning to the Montage, cut off and resonance to the Moog, etc. Is that possible? 2) Something similar about program change. Can I send PC to all 7 synths in their individual midi channels? What I want to avoid here is problems due to specific MSB and LSB values that mean different things to each instrument. For instance, if I send MSB 62 LSB 0 to the Montage on midi channel 1 and my Fantom is also receiving midi on channel 1, this will probably mean something totally different to the Fantom. The question is: Can MSB and LSB be sent to different midi channels all at once? I have a Nektar Pacer pedal and I can achieve these needs with it so I wonder if the FCB can do something similar. Thanks!

Very nice and comprehensive video. Wondering if you know of how SysEx commands could be sent directly to devices using the Mountain Utilities FCB1010. There are specific functions that my gear only receives SysEx commands for, not PC or CC commands. Thanks for the video.

Hola, que tal? Me gustaría saber se además de todas las configuraciones de cambios de efectos, volumen, etc. se podría también tener acceso a la sección de grabación como: PLAY, REC. ADELANTAR, RETROCEDER, MONITOR, BORRAR TRACKS ETC. Seria posible con el FCB 1010, para poder tener las manos totalmente libres para estar siempre en la guitarra? Esto para mi seria Super. Muchas gracias.

i was going to buy this controller for my digitech rack effect (i am justy getting into MIDI and rack stuff) i have also a mesa studio pre that needs a footswitch to change channels. do buttons 6 to 10 dont allow program changes? and can i set the switch to momentary latchins ( so if i touch one preset it just changes channel on the amp?)

Thank you so much!!!!!!

is it possible to have multiple keys turned on at the same time ? like for example let' say you have a clean guitar sound on key 1 , a distortion guitar on key 2 ..but you want to toggle on and off a delay assigned on key 6 .. i can do this but when i hit the key 6 to activate or desactivate the delay ..it turns off the red light of the key 2 i still have the distortion but visually it's confusing ...i would simply like to stay on key 2 and turning on/off the key 6 ..if that makes sense :)

This is the best tutorial for the fcb1010 but oh the boring monotone voice - you can visualise the finger moving under the script

Hi great video, how do I get the 1010 to control parameters in my AmpliTube 4 Daw?

I’ve recently bought this to use on my ElevenRack and am totally stumped on how to set it up. 😅

Studied this while waiting for my new FCB1010 to control my new KETRON SD2 . When I got the pedal, just for grins went ahead and plugged it in without programing( CASIO PG-308 Synth guitar > FCB1010> KETRON SD2 sound module) was pleased that out of the box it controlled the first 100 sounds of the KETRON! The FCB1010 bank 00 and footswhitch 1 matched KETRON 1 Grand Piano..etc; bank 01 footswhitch 1 = ketron 11...etc. So cool, QUESTION IS: WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER SOUNDS ON THE MODULE? The match out of the box was to what KETRON calls "VOICE BANK A (control change 00, Value=0)" and that has 128 sounds, so as described above I can call up the first 100. This module has 3 voice banks with 128 sounds each plus a "Preset Bank" of 128 plus "Live Drum sets" x 82! Thank you so much for this, had a Behringer FCB1010 a few years ago and sold it in desperation!

V good tq

On minute 8:32 on the video, you said that there is absolute no difference between the switches, implying that, for instance, switch 1 to 5 could also be used to send CC messages. How do I change the midi function of the switch? In my case, I need to send CC98, CC99, CC06 and CC38 to my Pa5X, but I found nothing showing how to do that with this pedal. Can a switch really be configured to send CC instead of PC?

This is a really good comprehensive tutorial - but dang it, my head is still spinning trying to remember all of the functionality and how it can be used. Currently, I just use it in its most basic of operations just to step through banks of program changes on connected MIDI devices

or maybe even using the windpwss editor software and what best midi to usb adapter to use. And showing how that makes life much easier in the set up I'm very new at this and I just got this board and a new Hughes and kettner amp had and I'd like them to be able to talk to each other but obviously I need a video for dummies because I have no midi experience
