5 MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER FCB1010 User Manual (1) FOOTSWITCHES 1 through 10/0. These keys are used for changing the presets, programming, entering values in programming mode and activating the DIRECT SELECT function (10/0 only). (2) UP/DOWN keys. These keys are used to navigate through different banks and programming layers. When in programming mode, use the UP key for ENTER (confirm) and the DOWN key for ESCAPE (cancel). ◊ When DIRECT SELECT mode is activated (see chapter 2 "Programming the FCB1010"), the UP/DOWN switches are no longer needed for BANK selection and are free to perform a special function: in the GLOBAL CONFIGURATION menu you can program them to control the SWITCH RELAYS (UP: SWITCH 1 RELAY, DOWN: SWITCH 2 RELAY). In this case, you can toggle between the preprogrammed SWITCH settings, each time you step on these switches. (3) EXPRESSION PEDAL A. Allows you to change controller values continuously. In programming mode, the pedal is used for data entry. (4) EXPRESSION PEDAL B. Allows you to change controller values continuously. (5) STATUS LEDs. The yellow LEDs display the current status of the PRESET programming or GLOBAL CONFIGURATION functions. (6) LED DISPLAY. Informs you about the currently selected BANK/PRESET number. In programming mode, it displays any value changes. 1.3.2 Rear panel (7) (10) SERIAL NUMBER. Please take the time to have the warranty card filled out completely, and return it within 14 days after the date of purchase, so as to be entitled to benefit from our extended warranty. Or use our online registration option available on the World Wide Web under behringer.com. (11) (12) (13) Fig. 1.3: Rear panel connectors (11) SWITCH 1 and 2. Use these jacks to connect your amplifier for channel selection (mono or stereo phone jack cable). (12) MIDI IN. The MIDI IN of your FCB1010 connects to a sequencer or similar device, in order to download the memory data saved before with the help of the MIDI SysEx function. Additionally, data can be looped through the FCB1010 and merged with other data using the MIDI MERGE function. Subsequently, the combined data are available at the MIDI OUT/THRU connector. (13) MIDI OUT/THRU. Use this jack to connect the devices you wish to control from your FCB1010. The SOFT THRU circuit allows you to loop through any signals present at the MIDI IN of your FCB1010, merge them with the unit's own data stream, and finally output the combined data at the MIDI OUT. (8) (9) (10) Fig. 1.2: Rear panel connectors (7) FUSE HOLDER / VOLTAGE SELECTOR. Please make sure that your local voltage matches the voltage indicated on the unit, before you attempt to connect and operate the FCB1010. Blown fuses may only be replaced by fuses of the same type and rating. Some models allow for inserting the fuse holder in two different positions, in order to switch over from 230-V to 120-V operation, and vice versa. Please note that for 120-V operation outside Europe, you need to use a fuse of a higher rating (see chapter 6 "Specifications"). (8) IEC POWER CONNECTOR. Use the enclosed power cord to connect the unit to the mains. (9) Use the POWER switch to power up your FCB1010. Always make sure the POWER switch is in its "Off" setting when you connect the FCB1010 to the mains. ◊ Attention: The POWER switch does not physically disconnect the unit from the mains. Always unplug the unit from the mains when you do not plan on using it for prolonged periods of time. 2. Programming the FCB1010 In this chapter you will learn to program your FCB1010 and adapt it to your specific MIDI set-up. But don't worry, you won't have to learn a programming language before you could give your FCB1010 a single MIDI command. The unit will perform all functions for you, one after the other. Simply make and confirm your choices. If particular functions prompt you to enter a parameter, this will be covered specifically. 2.1 Selecting BANKS and PRESETS There are two options to select a BANK and the PRESETS it contains. Which one you use depends on the DIRECT SELECT parameter in the GLOBAL CONFIGURATION menu. If DIRECT SELECT is on, you can use the PRESET footswitches to directly select the BANK number followed by the PRESET number. If DIRECT SELECT is off, you need to step through the various BANKS (using the UP/DOWN switches), then select a PRESET from a bank. The default setting is OFF. The illustrations below show the two options.
