behgr fcb1010 ftcontr. just sending pitchbend in live(only)

Post by sgreene » Sun Oct 07, 2007 6:11 pm

Behringer fcb1010 just sending pitchbend to live. Sending program changes to logic/mainstage works fine. The one midi note pedal on the 1010 works fine, as do the pedal cc controllers. Just seems to be a program change problem. 1010 is going into a 8x8 midisport unit, then to a mac running the latest osx.

Thanks for any guidance.
Sam :D

Just got an FCB1010 myself. You have to program all the pedals to send CCs rather than program changes. Program changes are no use in Live. Set all your pedals to CCs or notes.
The PCEditor makes this task easy.

Any explanation or rational ever given why Live doesn't allow you to map program changes?
Very common and basic control input.

It doesn't make sense to map a program change. Program changes are made for... program changes.

Actually, I think this might be a bug. You should be able to map a program change to a clip, because it is a trigger from a fixed number.
A program change to a dial doesn't make sense, since you need a continuous value.
It does not make sense that Live turns a program change into a Pitchbend message in the MIDI Learn window.
This is not an issue with the FCB1010, as the user states it works in other software. And I tested it with sending a PC from Max.

Bug report filed.
