MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER FCB1010

1. INTRODUCTION

Congratu ations! With the BEHRINGER MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER FCB1010 you purchased an u tra-f exib e

contro er unit for a wide range of app ications, whether you are a guitarist, keyboard p ayer or studio engineer:

10 BANKS with 10 PRESETS each and two fu y user-programmab e expression peda s wi give you enough

f exibi ity to manage your MIDI equipment. Guitar p ayers wi particu ar y appreciate the option of se ecting

channe s using two ana og SWITCHES, as they a ow you to fu y contro both amp ifier and effects from one

switching center. And with its u tra-rugged enc osure and bui t-in power supp y the FCB1010 is abso ute y

ready for the road, too. The easy-to-use programming interface gives you fun instead of frustration, and invites

you to fu y exp oit the capabi ities of your MIDI equipment.

+The operating instructions given in this manual ill introduce you to the FCB1010 and the host

of functions it offers. After reading the manual carefully, please keep it on hand for future

reference.

1.1 Design concept

The phi osophy behind BEHRINGER products guarantees a no-compromise circuit design and emp oys on y

the best components. To comp ement this design the choice of components inc udes high-to erance resistors

and capacitors, switches and severa other stringent y se ected e ements.

The FCB1010 was bui t on the basis of SMD techno ogy (Surface Mounted Device). These sub-miniature

components known from aerospace techno ogy a ow for an extreme packing density and enhance the units

re iabi ity. Additiona y, the FCB1010 was manufactured in comp iance with BEHRINGERs stringent qua ity

contro .

1.2 Before you begin

Your FCB1010 was carefu y packed in the factory and the packaging is designed to protect the unit from rough

hand ing. Neverthe ess, we recommend that you carefu y examine the packaging and its contents for any

signs of physica damage, which may have occurred during transit.

+If the unit is damaged, please do not return it to BEHRINGER, but notify your dealer and the

shipping company immediately, other ise claims for damage or replacement may not be

granted. Shipping claims must be made by the consignee.

+Before you connect your FCB1010 to the mains, please make sure that your local voltage

matches the voltage required by the unit:

Three triangu ar markings can be found on the fuse ho der at the AC power connection socket. Two of these

three triang es wi be a igned with one another. The FCB1010 is set to the operating vo tage shown next to

these markings and can be switched over by twisting the fuse ho der by 180°. IMPORTANT: This does not

apply to export models designed only for 115 V AC!

The mains connection is made by using the enc osed mains cab e and a standard IEC receptac e. It meets a

of the internationa safety certification requirements.

+Please make sure that all units have a proper ground connection. For your o n safety, never

remove or disable the ground connector of the unit or of the AC po er cable.

MIDI connections (IN and OUT/THRU) are made using standard DIN connectors, the corresponding data are

transmitted via potentia -free opto-coup ers. The two switching outputs use re ay contacts for ga vanic separation

and are connected via stereo phone jack cab es.

P ease see chapters 3 INSTALLATION and 4.1 MIDI Connections for further detai s.

1The foot s itches 1 through 10/0 a ow you to se ect PRESETS, program your FCB1010 and enter

data in programming mode.

2The UP/DOWN s itches are used to scro through the various BANKS and programming eve s. In

programming mode, UP and DOWN are your ENTER and ESCAPE keys respective y.

+When DIRECT SELECT mode is activated (see chapter 2 PROGRAMMING THE FCB1010), the

UP/DOWN s itches are no longer needed for BANK selection and are free to perform a special

function: in the GLOBAL SETUP menu you can program them to control the SWITCH RELAYS

(UP: SWITCH 1 RELAY, DOWN: SWITCH 2 RELAY). In this case, you can toggle bet een the

preprogrammed SWITCH settings, each time you step on these s itches.

3EXPRESSION PEDAL A. A ows you to change contro er va ues continuous y. In programming mode,

the peda is used for data entry.

4EXPRESSION PEDAL B. A ows you to change contro er va ues continuous y.

5STATUS-LEDs. The ye ow LEDs disp ay the current status of the PRESET programming or GLOBAL

FUSE HOLDER / VOLTAGE SELECTOR. P ease make sure that your oca vo tage matches the vo tage

indicated on the unit, before you attempt to connect and operate the FCB1010. B own fuses may on y

be rep aced by fuses of the same type and rating. Some mode s a ow for inserting the fuse ho der in two

different positions, in order to switch over from 230-V to 115-V operation, and vice versa. P ease note

that for 115-V operation outside Europe, you need to use a fuse of a higher rating (see chapter 3

INSTALLATION).

8IEC POWER CONNECTOR. Use the enc osed power cord to connect the unit to the mains.

9POWER s itch. Use this switch to switch the FCB1010 on or off.

10 SERIAL NUMBER. P ease take the time to have the warranty card fi ed out comp ete y, and return it

within 14 days after the date of purchase, so as to be entit ed to benefit from our extended warranty. Or

use our on ine registration option avai ab e on the Wor d Wide Web under www.behringer.com.

11 SWITCHES 1 and 2. Use these jacks to connect your amp ifier for channe se ection (mono or stereo

phone jack cab e).

12 MIDI IN. The MIDI IN of your FCB1010 connects to a sequencer or simi ar device, in order to down oad

the memory data saved before with the he p of the MIDI SysEx function. Additiona y, data can be ooped

through the FCB1010 and merged with other data using the MIDI MERGE function. Subsequent y, the

combined data are avai ab e at the MIDI OUT/THRU connector.

13 MIDI OUT/THRU. Use this jack to connect the devices you wish to contro from your FCB1010. The

SOFT THRU circuit a ows you to oop through any signa s present at the MIDI IN of your FCB1010,

merge them with the units own data stream, and fina y output the combined data at the MIDI OUT.

2. PROGRAMMING THE FCB1010

In this chapter you wi earn to program your FCB1010 and adapt it to your specific MIDI set-up. But dont

worry, you wont have to earn a programming anguage before you cou d give your FCB1010 a sing e MIDI

command. The unit wi perform a functions for you, one after the other. Simp y make and confirm your

choices. If particu ar functions prompt you to enter a parameter, this wi be covered specifica y. Lets begin

with...

2.1 Selecting BANKS and P ESETS

There are two options to se ect a BANK and the PRESETS it contains. Which one you use depends on the

DIRECT SELECT parameter in the GLOBAL SETUP menu. If DIRECT SELECT is on, you can use the PRESET

foot switches to direct y se ect the BANK number fo owed by the PRESET number. If DIRECT SELECT is off,

you need to step through the various BANKS (using the UP/DOWN switches), then se ect a PRESET from a

bank. The defau t setting is OFF. The i ustrations be ow show the two options.

Lets assume you wish to se ect PRESET #1 from BANK #3...

2. PROGRAMMING THE FCB1010

MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER FCB1010

Fig. 2.1: PRESET selection with DIRECT SELECT disa led

Step 1: Use the UP/DOWN switches to go to the BANK that contains the PRESET of your choice

(here: BANK #3).

Step 2: Se ect the PRESET you wish to use (here: PRESET #1).

If DIRECT SELECT is on, do as fo ows to se ect PRESET #1 from BANK #3:

Fig. 2.2: PRESET selection with DIRECT SELECT ena led

Step 1: Se ect the BANK of your choice (here: BANK #3) by stepping on foot switch #3.

Step 2: Se ect the PRESET you wish to use (here: PRESET #1) by stepping on foot switch #1.

As this examp e shows, the DIRECT SELECT feature gives you a faster access to BANKS and PRESETS

than without this function. Which option to use is entire y up to you. As ong as you need the PRESETS from

one BANK on y, it wi be advisab e to disab e the DIRECT SELECT function.

Determines whether the DOWN switch controls Switch 2

relay ("toggle") with DIRECT SELECT on.

6 SYSEX SEND Sends the entire memory as a sysex dump.

When this switch is pressed, the FCB1010 waits for the

reception of system-exclusive data.

Allws to merge MIDI IN data with FCB1010-generated data.

The combined data stream is subsequently output

at the MIDI OUT.
