Tab. 2.2: Assignment of footswitches in CONFIGURATION setup menu ◊ External equipment, for example guitar or bass amps, can be controlled by using SWITCH 1 and 2 outputs of the FCB1010. If the FCB1010 triggers this function, you should first check if the piece of equipment you are trying to control reacts to connection state (contact open or closed) or current feed (contact closed as long as the switch is depressed). BEHRINGER guitar and bass amps react to current feeds. Therefore, when you wish to remotely control channel change on a BEHRINGER guitar amp not via MIDI but via switch outputs (because you have no MIDI cable at your disposal), you have to power off switch 1 & 2 LEDs in GLOBAL CONFIGURATION menu under CONFIG. These LEDs are on in the default setting and indicate that programmed connection state is kept. Basically, CONFIGURATION mode functions are active as long as the corresponding footswitch LED is lit. 2.3 Quick start guide for PRESET programming UP NUMBER UP VALUE 1 UP VALUE 2 SELECT UP UP DOWN SWITCH Fig. 2.4: PRESET programming For each of the 100 PRESETS you can determine which MIDI functions shall be transmitted as soon as you select the respective PRESET. For instance, you can send five different program change commands, two controller commands, two different controller values (using the expression pedals) and a Note On command to the connected equipment at the same time (menu structure as in fig. 2.4). It is up to you to determine, which commands are stored in a Preset. Do as follows to program the functions to be sent with each PRESET: • Select the PRESET you wish to edit. • Press DOWN for more than 2.5 sec to enter PRESET programming mode. The number in the display disappears while the green SWITCH 1/SWITCH2 LED in the display starts flashing. • Use footswitches 1 and 2 to edit the status of the SWITCHES. The current status is indicated by the foot- switch LED and the corresponding SWITCH LED in the acrylic display. For further details see chapter 3.3 "Connections (general)". ◊ Please note that the status of the SWITCHES can also be toggled with UP (SWITCH 1) and DOWN (SWITCH 2) if DIRECT SELECT is enabled. The only prerequisite is that this function has been enabled for both SWITCHES in the CONFIGURATION menu. • Confirm with UP/ENTER. The SELECT LED in the display lights up. • Activate individual MIDI functions by keeping the respective footswitch depressed for roughly 1.5 sec. Footswitch LEDs indicate the activated footswitches of the respective MIDI functions. As long as the display indicates SELECT, you can activate MIDI functions and select them for editing by briefly pressing the corresponding footswitch.

For each of the 100 PRESETS you can determine which MIDI functions shall be
transmitted as soon as you select the respective PRESET. For instance, you can
send five different program change commands, two controller commands,
two different controller values (using the expression pedals) and a Note On
command to the connected equipment at the same time (menu structure as in

LED in the display starts flashing.
Use footswitches 1 and 2 to edit the status of the SWITCHES. The current
status is indicated by the foot- switch LED and the corresponding
SWITCH LED in the acrylic display. For further details see chapter 3.3
