- FBV MkII Setup Tutorial
Apple GarageBand uses its own proprietary protocol for controlling most of its software parameters,
therefore, the FBV MkII MIDI controllers unfortunately cannot access all GarageBand functions
directly. However, there are a few Pedal assignments that will allow you to control the current
GarageBand track’s Volume and Pan parameters. Additionally, there are some 3rd party software
utilities you can install on your Mac
®
that will allow you to utilize FBV’ footswitch buttons to control
GarageBand’s transport functions.
To configure FBV’s Pedals, launch the Line 6 FBV Control application and load the “FBV-Default.
fbv” preset.
Set the Pedal Wah controller’s Value to CC 010.
Keep the Pedal Vol controller settings as is (MIDI CC 007).
Note that the pedals are also set to transmit to the FBV USB MIDI Out port 1. Your settings
should appear like this:
Now simply open GarageBand and load one of your Songs. When you move your FBV Pedal you
should see that the Pedal, when set to “Volume” adjusts the selected track’s Volume level, and when
the Pedal is set to Wah, it will control the track’s Pan setting. If you have a Shortboard and an optional
Expression pedal connected, you can alternatively set Pedal 2 to MIDI CC Value 010 and then dedicate
your Pedal Volume to control the track volume, and Pedal 2 to control the track Pan.
In order to control the Transport functions in GarageBand with the FBV you will need to have version
2.0.1 of Garageband or later. You’ll also need to use the Line 6 FBV Control application to set whatever
FBV footswitches you want to control the GarageBand transport to send MIDI CC values, and likely
their Switch Type settings to “Momentary”. As noted above, the Garageband software does not offer
control of transport or most other functions natively, so you will need to download add-on software
that permits MIDI messages to control the parameters within GarageBand.
GarageRemote is one such 3rd party software and is available here: http://www.muratnkonar.com/

Once GarageRemote is installed and set up, start GarageRemote’s ‘Listener’ (it is off by default) so that
it can relay MIDI notifications to GarageBand. GarageBand responds to MIDI CC’s 007 and 010 for
current track volume and pan. You can use the Line 6 FBV Control application to create these MIDI
CC settings, and save this as an FBV Preset so you can load the settings to your FBV at any time.
