HOW TO SET UP THE BEST MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER FOR BIAS FX2 W/ EURKEA PROM (FCB1010)

[@jessetrimble7312]

Thank you so much! I've had this FX unit and chip for a very long time, and your video made it make sense after I had a concussion and couldn't easily program. I'm excited to use my iPad and the FCB1010 with Bias FX for a portable worship rig.

[@micheldejesus3319]

So BIAS FX + BIAS AMP + FCB1010, that's all my guitar needed, this is the best era for music production. Thanks

[@Sammywhat]

Really well done explanation of the FCB1010! 😁👍

[@PaerryMasongs]

TripleThanx! Your ’How-To’ is the only one I’ve found that is useful! Had to watch it 15-20 times to get it, but now the FCB1010 is running as it should. Thanx again for Your upload! Without it I would still be scratching my 50+ year old bold head in frustration & irritation. Be Blessed!! 🙏 (I also bought the Eureka PROM, after Your recommendation)

[@markedwards1948]

Hi thanks for this!! Way clearer and simple to follow than any other video on fcb1010 I’ve watched!! Had it for a fair few years and never been able to use it properly with the gear I have, the bias fix is awesome too so now I have a great combination. I have the Uno chip but will buy the Eureka one as the UNO programming is pants! Keep going 😎😎

[@jonathanbeny]

hey, I'm not sure which I want to buy, and I'm wondering why you don't like the uno programming?

[@patricknaughton9322]

Nice..I'm getting a eureka fcb this evening..a lot of videos made it look awkward..this one was good..cheers..

[@belgelove8701]

Great video - one question: can you explain how to assign the expression pedal? Thanks!!

[@TurboDiverFlo]

Thanks man! Your comment about "Audio settings" resolved my problem :-) One question please: when setting the pedals to on/off of a effect, how can I also assign the LED at the pedal to show on/off? Do I need eureka for this or is there another chance? Thanks in advance 🙂

[@RickGuitarist94]

Thanks for the vid and the chip recommendation! This is exactly how I plan to use my FCB1010. I just got Bias earlier this week and was blown away by how great everything sounds. I'm gonna pick up a Eureka chip to avoid the headaches I've heard/read about with this FCB1010 lol.

[@RickGuitarist94]

@6ixRiffs Update, I have my FCB Eureka chip installed and it's working great. However, there are a couple of things I'm in question on. First, is there a way to not have the LEDs flashing at me every time I power on my FCB and want to use the "EF" setting, since I've already got its CC #'s set in Bias? Second, the Wah pedal on Bias doesn't seem to always respond in real-time with my expression pedal on my FCB1010. Like, it will not always go all the way up/down or there will be a slight delay in the virtual Wah moving. Is that a program issue, or a pedal issue, if you or anyone else has ran into this problem?

[@6ixriffs725]

The Eureka Chip is amazing makes it so much easier to work on any midi manageable plug ins. As for the flashing LED's im not to sure how to keep them off, usually what i do is just press alll the pedals on and off once that way they dont flash anymore. Yes unfortunately, the range on the wah isnt the greatest. There are a few things when it comes to bias that such as that that dont work that good but what i personally do is add my own physical pedals to the chain when i playing live. For instance i like have a Cry baby from hell ( Dime bags wah ) that i really like the sound of so i use it at the front of my signal chain instead of using the wah on bias. Hope this helps, let me know how it turns out!

[@RickGuitarist94]

@@6ixriffs725 Nice! I eventually gave up on having a responsive wah/whammy/etc etc. It is apparently a problem with the FCB itself and it can't be fixed from what I've read online. Oh well. As for the LEDs, I got used to it and just stopped paying attention to it after turning them all off when I first power it on

[@6ixriffs725]

@@RickGuitarist94 yes its a huge problem have as well. That seemed to be the only one that really gave me problems pedal wise. now i use the expression pedal for volume sweeps and it works rather nicely!

[@baconsogood454]

Great video man! Thanks for sharing! Which EurekaPROM chip did you purchase?

[@6ixriffs725]

I bought the latest one from their website. i cant remember the version i think it was V2 !

[@runedamgaard4319]

Thanks man! Exactly what I was looking for :-)

[@6ixriffs725]

No problem ! Glad to help!!

[@arpeggioblues5924]

Nice Job.. just ordered the Eureka, had the UNO one a couple years back installed, but too complex to program, this new chip seems like a great way to go.

[@HeavY808]

I'm considering buying one of these so this was very helpful. Might be a dumb question, but is it possible to assign, let's say the top 5 pedals for different presets and the bottom 5 pedals for toggling effect pedals on/off within the selected preset. Without having to reprogram them each time, of course.

[@6ixriffs725]

Yes you can, there is a mode that allows your bottom row to be effects and the top row as preset amps. such a great feature ,its the "EP" mode which is their effects and preset mode. i found this works extremely well with neural dsp Nolly and i use this as my live rig! Works great in bias FX as well!

[@PaerryMasongs]

@@6ixriffs725 …So… Where may I find out how to separate the PF & the EP in a top/bottom row. Now i have to switch preset first, and then stomp down to the pedals to activate (for example) the wah, or distorsion. Thank You!

[@leemus1966]

@@PaerryMasongs There is a website by the eprom manufacturer, look for eurekasound, positive grid will be the pp mode but it's a good site to get everything set up

[@souviens71]

hey how about the volume and WhaWha !

[@FPVMgunit13]

This is fricking awesome... I would.really only.use this for presets... it seems the presets seem trickier to.program then the individual effects..... Either way isnt their 10 banks...x10 switches? For 100 switches...or am I wrong?

[@6ixriffs725]

Yes there is ! For each bank has its own set of presets and there is 10 banks! So you could have a ton of presets on command ready to go! Personally i would lose track so easily so i stick to only using 1 bank for ease which stores a ton of presets by it self. The presets require a little more steps than the effects yes but once all it set it and assigned to the pedals you want it is extremely easily change ! But to answer your question you can have an insane amount of presets ready for you at hand. Hope this helped and i didnt confuse you too much lol

[@barbomusic]

great tutorial, thank you so much !

[@6ixriffs725]

No problem glad i could help!!

[@MarkAnthony5150]

Can you use both same time pre set mode and be able to turn off boost delays ect, or only 1 mode at a time??? Ty gr8 video

[@ivanduke9860]

Hi Mate, I am new to biasfx2 and I have one question, with the eureka chip is it all I need to do to run the fcb1010 into my computer? No need programming at all? I am so confused with the whole thing 😒! I thought it was easier, I would appreciate any help with that 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@jlindley1995]

Really great video, thanks! I'm thinking about getting one of these for my setup, if I don't get a Eureka chip does it just not let you assign the pedals like you did on this video or is it much more difficult to do so?

[@Camcod10]

I also have the same question!!^^

[@boiga1966]

Thanks!

[@manolosubauste9215]

I want to use it for looping, but I can't make it work with Abbleton Live 10. Do you know something about it?. I connected through a MIDI to USB cable. I reset and configure the pedal with a video, but nothing happen. Thanks for the video by the way.

[@6ixriffs725]

im not too sure about the looping aspect unfortunately, a friend of mine uses a basic boss looper in conjunction with the fcb1010 and says it works great for him. !

[@manolosubauste9215]

The thing is that beside the looping function, I can't midi map the pedal in order to activate effects or anything I want. I want to know is there a special cable for Mac or could be a generic one. I just need help to use it with my Mac :(.

[@CountryBoyFisherman]

I have a question if you don't mind me asking. Am I able to program it to toggle the effects per preset or does setting an effect to one button mean that that button is only assigned with effect across all my presets? If in preset 1 I have chorus, delay and reverb but in preset 2 I have distortion, phaser and reverb. Can each preset have it's own separate button assignments for my effects or is one button with an assigned effect locked across all of my presets? I hope this wasn't a super complicated question 😕

[@officialjuanibarra]

Yes you can. Tons of videos on it

[@victorhuantes7772]

The one thing even with stock is the switch on and off wah. The only thing that I have come close to doing this automatically is the helix.

[@stevenkay5441]

I don't have my FCB1010 yet, but I'm assuming I configured it to PP to use with Bias FX?

[@fredrikfb]

Where do i plug the fcb in my focusrite interface? In the back?

[@PaerryMasongs]

In the computer. That’s what I did, i allafall. Via a ”midi-to-usb” cable. Others say to the in focusrite interface. So there are obviously two ways to go…

[@eddiem4868]

Damn I guess I need the eureka prom. I was trying to set it up stock and it's just way too much headache.

[@6ixriffs725]

Honestly, the eureka is a life saver! It saves so much time its crazy, and it works with any midi capable rack unit or power head !!

[@6ixriffs725]

@@eddiem4868 I use it for Neural Dsp as well, i use the Nolly plug in all the time. Basically same concept but the midi layout is a little different in neural dsp. The key is to have the board programmed first to all the numbers and CCs you want then just matching them to the ones on the plug in , in the midi section.

Hi - I have the FCB1000 with the Eureka chip installed. I have BiasFX2. I'm using a MIDI to USB to my computer. I don't think bias is seeing the MIDI for some reason. I'm selecting the correct MIDI in audio settings in BIas. Any settings in Windows or for my focusrite that I need to do?

question i just install eureka chip 3.2 after turn on, witch the first set up un FCB1010???

[@GlobalAgendaFreak]

Can you show how to do it without the Eurka Prom chip? and this does only work with BIAS FX 2 PRO?

[@6ixriffs725]

I decided to not do it without the Eureka Chip. Reason being that the process is MUCH harder and way more difficult than it has to be. Personally i find its a great investment to get the chip just because its so easy to use and Eureka makes it very easy to use across multiple interfaces like axe fx and kempers as well! I

[@DominicGena]

I have mine in the Programmable config and bias fx isnt receiving instruction from the controller, any idea how to fix it? If I click "learn" on the midi assignment it still won't detect anything

[@FPVMgunit13]

i dont understand where you set the CC# up in?

[@6ixriffs725]

are you referring to the CC# for the pedal programming or for the presets? They are similar but slightly different. CC# ( control change numbers ) range from 1-128. The PC ( program change ) also goes from 1-128. CC changes is a midi information or note that change parameters that makes changes via midi ( say toggling on or off a pedal ) PC is used for a program change or patch change which allows you to cycle presets that you have saved previously and assigned to a certain number (1-128) . Hope this helps, if you are still confused let me know and i will try and help walk you through !

[@kevinmurphy4250]

@@dortega12 so if if you want to use the midi functionality , it has to be on the stand alone version only i believe. Running it through the daw doesn't work because the midi would have to run through the DAW you are using. Thats why you are not seeing it on there. If you open the stand alone you will see the midi and audio options !

[@johnmcdonough666]

You don't need any special chip for this. Bias makes it very easy to assign midi.

[@AtomMotherHeart]

Heya, two questions 1) does the Modi controller connect to the PC (via USB) or my Audio interface (via input jack)? 2) if it connects to PC is it the Midi in or out? Thanks in advance. I am looking to use this with my amp sims and guitar.

[@freshiesmedia2049]

It connects directly through the audio interface via MIDI cable. The Interface you have must have a midi in and out port. When you connect it, it starts from the pedal, to midi out, then to the interface which is the midi in because the pedal board is sending the information to the interface. Hope this helps!
