Control Surface Options
Some applications specifically offer a selector to choose one or more connected “Control Surface” or
“MIDI Controller” devices, and you should first look to see if your software offers this type of option.
You should see 4 selectable options for your connected FBV MkII device - one for each MIDI Out Port.
Note the slight differences for how your FBV MkII MIDI Out ports appear within computer operating
systems (for FBV Express MkII, you’ll see “Express” in place of “Shortboard” in these titles):
Mac OS® X Windows® 7 & Vista® Windows® XP
MIDI Out Port 1
FBV Shortboard Mk II (Port 1) FBV Shortboard Mk II USB Audio Device
MIDI Out Port 2
FBV Shortboard Mk II (Port 2) MIDIIN2 FBV Shortboard Mk II USB Audio Device [2]
MIDI Out Port 3
FBV Shortboard Mk II (Port 3) MIDIIN3 FBV Shortboard Mk II USB Audio Device [3]
MIDI Out Port 4
FBV Shortboard Mk II (Port 4) MIDIIN4 FBV Shortboard Mk II USB Audio Device [4]
MIDI In Port 1
FBV Shortboard Mk II (Port 1) FBV Shortboard Mk II USB Audio Device
TIP: Also see “Ableton Live® - FBV MkII Setup Tutorial” on page 6•4 for examples of how FBV MkII
appears as a selectable MIDI Controller in the Live Preferences dialog.
You’ll want to select the FBV MIDI Out Port to which your FBV Controls are transmitting. By default,
all FBV MkII Control assignments are configured to transmit to the FBV MIDI Out Port 1, but you can
change this MIDI Out Port setting per Control within the Line 6 FBV Control application’s Control
Properties List (see page 3•3).
Note: You do not need to select the FBV MIDI In Port within any of your MIDI/DAW software, since you
will not want to feed MIDI from your software to the FBV device. (The Line 6 FBV Control and Monkey
applications utilize the FBV MIDI In for communication, but no settings are necessary for this.)
In many cases, this is all the configuration needed, and the MIDI/DAW software will then receive your
FBV MIDI commands. Some applications, however, offer additional options to choose the brand or
type of MIDI controller device to communicate properly with it. For applications that offer this, you’ll
want to look for the option to choose a “generic” controller device. Further, some applications also
allow you to rename your MIDI Device port names, giving them more “friendly” titles. See your MIDI
software’s Help documentation for specific instructions. You can also check the following sections to
see examples of a few popular MIDI application examples.
MIDI Input Options in your Software
In some MIDI and DAW applications’ Preferences or MIDI Options, you may see only a set of “MIDI
Input” settings (rather than a specific “Control Surface” or “MIDI Control” option, as described above).
If your MIDI/DAW software’s documentation instructs you to use this for selecting MIDI controller
devices, then you’ll want to select the FBV MIDI Port to which your Controls are transmitting. By
default, all your FBV MkII Control assignments are transmitted to the FBV MIDI Out Port 1, but
you can change this MIDI Out Port setting per Control within the Line 6 FBV Control application’s
Control Properties List (see page 3•3).
