Behringer FCB1010 Foot Controller difficulties

Post by live4live » Fri Dec 17, 2004 8:16 pm

Hi,
I'm using a FCB1010 with Ableton Live 4 and Reason 2.5. My question would be: Can both expression pedals be used at the same time? I cannot seem to get pedal B to work. Pedal A works just fine but when I try to program pedal B it programs fine but Live and Reason do not receive MIDI from the pedal. Any thoughts?

Thanks

works correctly for me...
triple check all yer settings... for every preset program you have to assign both expression pedals individually-the led's above them should be on if both are activated.
hope this helps

calibrating the pedals might help. how to do it is in the manual.

I am having a very difficult time getting my FCB 1010 to work with Live 4. Would you guys be willing to give me some suggestions? (I am reading the manual, but it is quite confusing still).

Thanks.

Hello Livies

I too use the FCB with Live, !great combo!, was wondering if someone with a little more experience could tell me if the expression pedals can work on more than one assignment...that is to say if I assign the pedal A to a function and pedal B to another function and then jump to another preset set can the expression pedals change to another assignment too.

At this point I can only assign the pedals to one function each...

This probably doesn't make sense...my MIDI speak very not much...if you know what I mean.

Thanks for your consideration!!!

It can be done.

I've basically just learned to use the editor on a PC to set up the foot controller and then download the settings to it using sysex.

There is a yahoo group where you can get this editor and more help.

The question is not whether or not you are influenced, but rather what it is that influences you.
