Behringer FCB1010 [10/16] Controller toggle function

10 MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER FCB1010 User Manual

The NOTE function will be particularly useful for so-called tap-tempo

applications. Many of today’s multi-eects devices allow the user to enter the

delay time by means of an on-board TAP button. The device measures the time

between two TAP button presses and uses this interval to adjust the delay time.

Often, this function can be remotely controlled via MIDI. In this case, “tapping”

isthe transmission of two subsequent NOTE ON commands, which is what

the NOTE function of your FCB1010 does for you. For example, this is how a

sequencing software can be launched or closed.

◊ If you program the NOTE function with a PRESET, a NOTE ON command

will be sent each time you select the PRESET. Getting your foot off the

switch transmits the NOTE OFF command.

◊ To “tap” the tempo, simply press the PRESET switch several times in the

rhythm of the music.

◊ CNT 1 is always transmitted together with the note on command.

For example, it can be used for sending a volume value (number 07)

together with a note to trigger a sound. When the controller’s

operation is not desired, it can either be relayed to an unused MIDI

channel in GLOBAL CONFIGURATION (this channel is then valid for

all presets) or an unused controller number can be assigned to the

controller (can be done for each individual preset).

2.5 Controller toggle function

This function allows you to congure one controller so that it alternately sends

two dierent values, e.g. eect bypass, drive on/o, etc.

• In order to enable the controller switch-over function, you need to

globally select the same MIDI channel for CNT1 and CNT2 (see chapter 2.2),

and enter the same controller number for CNT1 and CNT2 in the preset

(NUMBER,seechapter 2.4.4).

The rst time you recall the preset, it will send the controller value of CNT1

(VALUE 1), with each additional key press you can alternate between CNT2

and CNT1. Example: Select preset 1 without DRIVE function on the BEHRINGER

V-AMP—each time you press the same button again, DRIVE will be switched

on or o respectively: PROG CHG 1 = 1, CNT 1 NUMBER = 26, VALUE 1 = 0,

CNT 2 NUMBER = 26, VALUE 1 = 127.

2.6 TAP-TEMPO function

In addition to the NOTE function, which is used by many eects devices to

“tap” the song tempo, the FCB1010 oers you another way to reach this goal:

the TAP-TEMPO function also allows you to enter the song tempo, however,

transmitsa FCB1010-generated controller value to the controlled eects device,

in order to adjust the delay time. Advantage: you can also control devices that

cannot process NOTE commands, but only allow for changing the delay time by

means of a MIDI controller.

◊ The TAP-TEMPO function does not work with DIRECT SELECT enabled.

The TAP-TEMPO function has no dedicated switch, but is activated as follows:

• Select the PRESET you wish to edit.

• Keep the DOWN/ESCAPE key pressed longer than 2.5 sec. to get to the

programming mode. The green SWITCH 1/SWITCH 2 LED in the display

startsashing.

• Use the UP/ENTER key to get to the next page. The SELECT LED in the display

is lit.

◊ To program a MIDI function, you have to first activate it. Individual

MIDI functions are activated by keeping the corresponding keys

pressed for a few seconds. Active MIDI functions are indicated by a

permanently lit footswitch LED.

• Select the NOTE function you wish to edit by keeping the 10/0 key

pressed for a few seconds and then consequently tap it once again briey.

Thefootswitch LED blinks.

• Conrm your selection with UP/ENTER. The NUMBER LED lights up.

• Enter the maximal possible delay time value for the equipment you wish to

control. Calculate the value that is to be entered for NOTE by dividing the

maximum delay time value by 10 ms. Conrm your selection with UP/ENTER.

The SELECT LED lights up.

◊ Please note that the FCB1010 allows for a maximum delay time of

1,270 ms, which is due to the MIDI standard’s maximum resolution of

7 bits (= 128 values).

• Activate control change 1 (CNT 1) by keeping the footswitch 6 pressed for a

few seconds. The footswitch LED lights up and is activated by briey tapping

the footswitch (the LED blinks).

• Press UP/ENTER again. Now the FCB1010 prompts you to enter a controller

number. The NUMBER LED lights up. Enter the controller number which

the manufacturer of your eects device has preset for delay time changes.

Conrm your selection with UP/ENTER. The VAL1 LED lights up.

• The VALUE to be entered now corresponds to the upper limit of the

parameter range determined by the controlled device. That might sound

a bit confusing, but it’s quite easy: the manual that came with the device

usually contains an eects table listing the parameter range to be input via

MIDI in order to control the delay time. For example, the device might use

the entire range from 0 through 127; or a limited range from 0 through 63,

and so on. So, the VALUE parameter simply determines the resolution with

which the delay time can be programmed. The higher the value, the higher

the resolution.

• Conrm your entry with UP/ENTER. The SELECT LED lights up.

• Disable Control Change 1 (CNT 1) by means of a long foot- switch press on

footswitch #6. This is necessary because otherwise each time you select the

PRESET used for tempo tapping, the FCB1010 would transmit the controller

dened here (including the adjusted VALUE parameter), instead of the

FCB1010-generated value.

• Quit PRESET programming mode by means of a long press on DOWN.

Now,the TAP-TEMPO function is ready for use.

To use the tap-tempo feature, press the footswitch (which selects the PRESET

just programmed) twice in the rhythm of the music, e.g. every crotchet or quaver

note. The FCB1010 will calculate the delay time and send it to the receiving

device, by means of the controller you selected before. If the interval between

the two footswitch presses is greater than the maximum NOTE/NUMBER value,

the FCB1010 will divide the time by 2 until it is equal to or smaller than the

maximum value. Thus, a crotchet delay becomes a quaver or semiquaver delay,

depending on which value can be processed in the receiving device.
