Chapter 1 - how to set up your FCB1010 to talk to mainstage

[@alwaysaplanb3993]

You are spot on with your assessment of people who have an FCB1010 lying around and have given up with it because it's a pain to programme but would still like to get some use out of it. Well done. I would just note that iFCB is a bit fussy about the MIDI interfaces it works with as the sysex needs to be handled by the MIDI interface which then passes it on to the FCB unit. But then that sounds like it's beyond dummy status though it is fundamental to making the process work properly. Keep up the great work.

If it wasn't inappropriate I would track you down and buy you pints my man, I went through all the other vids online and couldn't get it working correctly. Proper job!

Awesome Matt you are a life saver!

[@JanNieuweboer]

Matt, great video. Wel done. You talked about your settings on mail and importing it in my rig. How can we arrange that?

[@vinnieferra]

did you end up putting this file up somewhere?

Hello Matt! I got an issue with my FCB1010, it's almost new and I did the proper configuration to all of the 127 MIDI channels on it but still have some troubles setting up the Exp A. I do like Pedal1 - Down for 3 seg. - Up - Pedal8 - Up - 27 - 00 (min) - 127 (max) - Down. The pedal doesn't get the bottom at all. Please help!

[@Richard_P_James]

How come your voice is only out the left channel?

[@tstevensontube]

Thanks dude! This was helpful to me.

Thank you so much for making this video. I've spent hours and hours trying to figure out how to get this stupid pedal to work with Logic Pro X. I realize this is for MainStage but I'm hoping the same will apply to Logic. I was ready to toss the thing out the window until I found the Whacky Wabbit software and your video. You're a life saver. I'm going to PM you to see if you could please share that file so I can avoid trying to figure ANYTHING out from this point forward. If you could produce a video to show how to use it in Logic I'd pay you for the video. Thanks again!!!

Good night! I'm starting now and do not know how to use the FCB1010 FootController with Mainstage. Could you explain me how do I sync the IFCB with Mainstage? And how do I display the name Mainstage in IFCB? Thank you.

[@cesinha87]

Did you ever find out how to turn off and on the light from FCB corresponding tothe mainstage?

[@jaycharles7324]

Where did you by the software?

[@MrDomsworld86]

Where do you get the editing software from please?

[@JEQ1990]

Hi, thanks for the tutorial but unfortunately I'm stuck right at the beginning as the light is still red and reading "no devices found." I have the FCB connected to the midi input on my alesis io2 interface, and that connected in to my macbook but in both ifcb and mainstage there is no sign of the foot controller yet it is correctly reading the presence of the interface... Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Cheers

[@benetbraun6863]

Did you ever find the answer to getting your computer to find the FCB1010. My light is still red and I can't get my computer to find the FCB1010. any help would be much appreciated

[@guitarguts666]

Is there a windows version of this software? I just want it to program TC Electronics G-Force and H&K head.

[@jaycharles7324]

[@WinshipWheatley]

[@WinshipWheatley]
