FINALLY EXPLAINED! FCB1010 Assignments + MainStage Set Up - 2022 

Behringer really struggled to take the angle of the user when they wrote the manual... I love that you focused on CC number programming as 98% of the folks that would use this are going to use it exactly as such. Good on you for taking the time to make this!

I've had this thing for two years and gave up trying to program it to do anything but be expression pedals. The manual can show you how but if you don't know WHAT to do it doesn't matter if you know how. Thank your for this!

YOU ROCK! Thanks to your tutorial, I have been able to configure my new board to control REAPER on LINUX. I would have been LOST because the quickstart guide which came with the FCB1010 does not tell you a thing about setting this up. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

Really enjoyed your video .. and the comments from viewers. I thought I was losing the plot as I struggled to do even basic edits. This helps A LOT! Thank you.

Thank you so much. I looked at three other videos, but it wasn't until yours that I could get the FCB1010 working. I only have to hook it up with pure data on the laptop. Thanks again.

You should get a Nobel prize for this,.

I very much Liked and subscribed. I got this pedalboard around 6 years ago and promptly gave up on it and it has since been gathering dust in a cupboard. There simply isn't enough information on this thing anywhere.. ..until now when I stumbled across this video. thank you so much for taking the time to explain this. very much appreciated

You're video is ABC easy my friend! Kudos to you! I have finally mastered this damn board lol. Saved my quite a bit of heartache.

I ran into your lesson because I want to control Line-6 POD HD500X. It needs to select 8 main groups by PC or manual. Each group has 16 basic presets that are arranged in 4 groups 1A, 1B, 1C and 1D then 2A, 2B...all the way to 16C and 16D. Having a group that contains 4 sounds is very practical for each song or style. It has a pair of Up & Down switches also (1-16). The HD500X pedal has a Big Letter View window that show the activated preset. But if there is modification (by PC Editor program or manual buttons) the stupid View window will not return to Big Letter unless I bend down or kneel on the floor to press View twice. It is hard with the guitar on my neck. Also for setting the pedal, it is better to put on a tall rack or desk and adjust while sitting and playing guitar on a chair. Doing so I can't lift my foot or use finger to press the switches. I used FCB-1010 before with my Yamaha DG-80 Amp with out problems because the preset increased consecutively from 00 to 80 (I don't remember). I tried with Line-6 POD HD500X today and was able to activate about 20 presets. But I noticed that many sounds did not came out right. Some configurations changed and later the PC crashed. Please help. Thanks, PS: Please also show the initial conection to PC. Using Midi cable?

I had one of these and had some success programming it, but overall, it couldn't access a lot of my gear's features I wanted it for even though it was for the Behringer Virtualizer Pro 2024. *Fortunately, I don't really use modulation and time-based depth effects, and the new breed of floor processors often have midi controllers built into them.* I'm sure if I were running plugins on a PC with it, then it would be a beast of a unit. *There are, however, custom EPROMS you can buy for it that are specific to guitar gear, rack processors etc.* The guy I sold it to installed EPROMS programmed specifically for the Behringer Bass V-Amp, so you dropped it in, plugged it in and everything was custom tailored. Programming it for my gear hit a lot of dead ends, but I did get a fair bit of control out of it, just far from what anyone would expect.

Thank you very much for this tutorial. It saved a lot of time and a lot of confusion.

incredible video. thank you!

thanks for the video.. helped so much in setting my expression pedals to work with ableton. Great work

Now I just have to program the FCB 1010. I have ADD so it might take me a while but yes thank you for the great video!

thank you very much ! i am a belgian fan guitar and i use Mainstage. FCB 1010 was really hard to understand. Your video save my life !!!! Happy 2023 ;-)

thanks for this video , i almost send it back ... now it works !

thank you!

Thanks for making this video. I've been working through their manual and i still found assigning the pedals confusing. There was still one small thing i didnt understand in order to assign CC #s for the pedals.

I bought this for my digital Alesis Strike Pro SE drum set. I have the drum brain set for midi channel 2. Alesis says cc 118 and 119 will go forward and back through the drum kits. How do I get the 1010 to see midi channel 2 and 118 and 119? I would like 118 on one pedal and 119 on a different pedal. Thanks.

I have FCB1010. I don´t want to have programchange. Only snippets on our X32 mixer and this is midi channel 2 on the mixer. Can you make a simple film about this configuration. Snippets on the mixer is 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06 and so on

You need have have both the midi in and midi out? I bought this to use with my nueral dsp plugins and i bought a midi cable with it but i figured you would only need the one cable from the midi out to the midi in on the interface

How can bank change be achieved?

My friend I am doing something wrong, can you help me by answerign my question? Why you assigned pedal01 to CC01? Because you want to trigger the command CC1 on a device or a software with pressing the first footpedal? So if I want to trigger the commad labeled CC26 with the first pedal I will press it and programm it by typing n 26 instead of 01? And then programm the values 00 to 127 on 6 and 7 accordingly?

Earlier versions you had to physically change the chip in the unit Can you update the firmware with USB cable? Thanks for the video

Hi i am trying to connect the FCB1010 to my roland stage piano do i have to have both the midi in and the midi out connected. Also my select green light i can't get it to flash. Stewart

Do the expression pedals have to correspond to a specific pedal, or can you set them up to be independent of the peddles. I am in the process of purchasing one so I have not sat down in front of it yet so I am sorry if this is a dumb question.

QUESTION, I got everything working now bud EXP2 does have a diffrent velocety curver then EXP1 , Like if I push exp 1 Frome heel to toe it goeas seemlesly from 0-127 bud if i do it with EXP2 nothing happens till I am at halfway, and from there on it transissions from 0-127. As ifthe previous owner had manupulated something to make it more sensitive. I dont think it is meant to be that way.. Has someone a IDEA??

Any idea how to assign a volume and was for dip with a Mac ?? every time I active the way and step on the pedal it shuts the way off and takes me to another preset ?!?!?! ready to chuck this thing out the window!! any help would be great!

Would it be possible to use the unit as a midi bass pedal, instead of a real one.

Thanks man, your video helped a ton. Now for whatever reason after I had it all set up the way I wanted and everything was working...It just stopped. Ive got no reason as to why. Ive factory reset a dozen times now and followed your vid to the T. Everything says it should work like it did but it wont. I'm using it with neural dsp stuff through ableton. Maybe you have some insight I dont?

I'm still not getting it. you're assigning CC values, but no CC number ? and whats 6 for?

Will it be possible to make a midi tutorial with the FCB 1010 and the Boss GT 1000 Core thank you

Enfin!!! exactement ce que je recherchai Merci beaucoup

Ive tried to follow these instructions and do it exactly as you describe but it doesn't do what yours does. Pedal one only does 00 doesn’t do 127

this is crazy. Is there a more modern plug n play version of this type of controller?

Will this board change midi channels?

How many midi cables need?i have a bossgt8 and wanna starting to pair with fcb1010 before i begin to use a digital application ..please telle how to mak it

This was a bitch to setup after countless reddit and youtube videos got it running as a pedal board through neural dsp using the element program. So worth it though

When is Behringer gonna update this controller out of the 90s. It looks like my PODxt Live.

Can you assign different values to CC other that on/off (127/0). Like #CC 42, value 5?

Does this midi work with mac m1? There are a lot of problems with midi and mac m1

I have a slight problem with my expressionpedal settings. At the first try I only got it working on switch number 8 (and9), and second time I set it to no number 41 and now It doesen,t work at all. For history I have 40 settings ready and working against My DMXGo app 40 presets in the app working perfect but I the last thing I want is to be able dim my light with the expressionpedal. To control it where ever I am on the preset settings....do I have to get in to global config to separate the pedal from the switches?

I got 4 years of university education, but met my demise in the FCB1010, however thee are at least one app you can use to program this box, worked for me

I followed the video step by step. Not working? I just want to change presets in Guitar riig 6 pro. I've been trying for 5 months now. It shows up in the preferences in Ableton. But dose nothing....

I just followed each step carefully but my FCB1010 cannot respond like that. I got frustrated 😢

@staytuned3068 Hello. I wanna know if I could hire you to take this from the very start and teach me how to make it work... controlling a keyboard or a VST, please? Let me know here so we can talk about it.

I would literally pay for someone to give the same instructions for controlling Helix Native in Logic Pro 😢

I'm so frustrated with this I'm getting 26 when you get 00

"Finally", but its late for me , i dont have it anymore :(

could this stupid pedalboard possibly be any more complicated? (and yes, you're awesome, man, thank you so much)

You didn’t hear all the white noise ? 👀 dude fix it care about your work.

I have FCB1010. I don´t want to have programchange. Only snippets on our BehringerX32 mixer and this is midi channel 2 on the mixer. Can you make a simple film about this configuration. Snippets on the mixer is 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06 and so on
