Behringer FCB1010 Manual De Usuario

MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER FCB1010

Keep the switches 1 and 3 pressed while powering up the

unit. This puts your FCB1010 into self-test mode, and all

LEDs are being tested.

Please wait until all switch LEDs light up. Then press all the

switches, including the UP/ENTER and DOWN/ESCAPE keys,

so that all LEDs are turned off.

Wait for a moment while the relay test is completed (four

quiet cliking sounds are heard). The display shows F1 if

no MIDI connection is present. If you connected MIDI Out to

MIDI In, the display shows A1. In this case, the MIDI

connections operate correctly.

Press DOWN/ESCAPE once.

Move the expression pedal A to the lowest value possible

(pedal open). The VALUE 1 LED lights up. When the value

is adjusted, press the UP/ENTER key.

Move the expression pedal A to the highest value possible

(pressed down all the way). The VALUE 2 LED lights up.

When the value is adjusted, press the UP/ENTER key.

Move the expression pedal B to the lowest value possible.

When the value is adjusted, press the UP/ENTER key.

Move the expression pedal B to the highest value possible.

When the value is adjusted, press the UP/ENTER key.

Both pedals are now correctly calibrated.

3. APPLICATIONS

Several application examples that should help you with the

MIDI setup are described in this chapter.

As long as your equipment features MIDI connectors, you can

control it entirely via the FCB1010. All you need is a MIDI IN

connector at the other end.

No audio signal pass through the FCB1010 and consequently

no signal processing takes place in it either. The FCB1010 merely

transmits control data to your MIDI equipment, so it can for example

call up presets, turn effects on or off, or adjust volume. You can

find more detailed information on this subject in chapter 4

MIDIA STANDARD, A REVOLUTION.

3.1 Basic setup

Fig. 3.1: Basic setup with a guitar amp

Here, the FCB1010 is used to control a guitar amp that is

equipped with a MIDI interface.

Connect the MIDI OUT jack of your FCB1010 to the MIDI IN of

your amp (see fig. 3.1), using a standard 5-pole MIDI cable.

Program your FCB1010 as described in chapter 2.4. Please refer

to the users manual of your amp to find out what functions can

be controlled via MIDI.

3.2 Expanded setup (using the switch function)

Fig. 3.2: Guitar setup (using the switch function)

Here, the FCB1010 is used to control an effects device via

MIDI. In addition, the switch function is used to toggle between

the two channels (clean/overdrive) of the guitar amp. Please

connect your effects device via the FX send/return loop of your

amp. Now connect the SWITCH 1 connector with the footswitch

input of your guitar amp. Use a standard jack cable for this

purpose. Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the FCB1010 to the

MIDI IN connector of the effects device using a standard MIDI

cable.

The effects processor is controlled via MIDI, while the SWITCH

function toggles the amp. Thus, youll need no additional

footswitch when you switch between the channels; instead,

your entire setup is centrally controlled from the FCB1010.

3.3 Connections (general)

Please use commercial-grade cables with phone plugs to

connect the SWITCH outputs of your FCB1010 to your amplifier.

Since these outputs are normalized, you can send both switching

pulses from one SWITCH output, by using a stereo cable, which

is useful in combination with amplifiers that have a stereo phone

jack to select several functions (e.g. channel select and effect

on/off). In this case, please use only one of the two SWITCH

outputs with one stereo cable connected.

Find out whether or not your guitar amp supports a

stereo connection via SWITCH 1 or SWITCH 2. Simply

try and experiment to identify the switching

configuration of your amp.
