Cool mod, FunKey.

Someone has come out with a mod for the FCB1010 that fixes bugs and adds a bunch of new features to it... check it out at

There's also a whole users group for it at

Awesome mod with the sustain pedal!

http://www.lg-fcb.com/lgfcb_software.php

It looks like the new editor for the UnO offers momentary control so you can use any one of the switches as a momentary "sustain" pedal or similar depending on what cc# you are affecting. So no cutting, soldering, etc necessary!

Thought anyone who is interested in getting a all-in-one pedal board with 2 exp pedals and 5 stompboxes, 5 other switches would think this is interesting...

Hello TomAlm,
Welcome to the forums!

Tom,
It isn't possible to switch programs by any of the NS2's pedals.
However, it is possible by using the MIDI Solutions' Footswitch controller:

Hi I have this midi controller but I can't understand how to program it. Could you or Anyone who uses it write down the complete programming code?
thank You so much
Andrea

Hi Andrea,

Your best solution will be to contact Midi Solutions about that.

BLess,

Pablo

Is this still the only option for momentary control on the FCB1010? Or can I do this without the UNO chip?

Hi there,

I have bought an FCB1010 to change programs on my Nord Stage 2 EX, but I am having difficulty understanding what's going on. I have the MIDI Implementation page from the Nord Stage, and the instructions from the FCB10101 manual - but I can't seem to find out how to do what I'd like to do! What I'd like is to increment through the Nord's programs, using one pedal - is that possible?
Clicking the pedals of the FCB1010 does change the programs on the Nord, but always starting at Bank A, Page 3, Program 1... why Page 3, I don't know.

Could anyone tell me, is there a MIDI command I could enter in the FCB1010 to make the Nord Stage 2 increment through it's programs? I don't see anything like that on the Nord MIDI Implementation page.

Many thanks! Jonathan

Nord Stage does not support a MIDI Cc message to just increment its Programs, it requires the exact Bank and ProgramChange every time, so either the Foot Controller has mode so that it can manage the increment and generate the correct Bank/PC messages autonomously (as for example the MidiMouse can, not sure the FCB can) or you can only associate each of the FCB switches to a specific NS2 Program.

Thanks Maxpiano, that's good to know.
Cheers, Jonathan

Hi Jonathan, I think I also answered this in the FCB Uno forum but you did not indicate there that you are also on the wrong bank. In order to get to bank A you need to set CC #32 (LSB of bank select) to 0 before you do a PC.

The FCB implements in this order so the CC change has to come before the PC

PC1
PC2
PC3
PC4
CC1
CC2
PC5

So you would probably need to use PC5 for your program change after using CC1 or CC2 (whichever global channel you are using) or controller 32

I just have a pedal (Init) to ensure I set up bank 0 before I use any other pedals. You can also do this on a stompbox (if you use FCB Uno)

I think probably best place for future answers on this is on the FCB1010 forum as it is more related to programming the FCB1010. Now if anyone knows of a program increment/decrement Midi function on the NS2, that would be a different story.

Regards,

That's brill Jack, thanks so much for that info. I'm normally not too bad with this sort of thing, but this time, I'm out of depth!
Thanks, Jonathan
