#fcb1010 — Public Fediverse posts

Good news, the second exp on my #Behringer #FCB1010 is not broken, calibration fixed er right up.

If you're not aware, calibration instructions are not in the user manual (another really ridiculous oversight), but I found them on Sweetwater:

Adjust both pedals to lowest setting (Toe Down).
Turn on the FCB1010 while holding footswitches 1 and 3.
When the display goes blank, release the switches. The FCB1010 will light up in sequence.
Once all the lights are on, press each Footswitch one at a time, including the UP and DOWN switches, until all the LEDs turn off. You will hear some mechanical clicks, and then the display will read “F1.” (it'll say some other stuff first)
Press the DOWN switch once.
Adjust the left expression pedal (A) to the lowest value (heel down), then press UP.
Now adjust expression pedal (A) to the highest value (toe down), then press UP.
Next, adjust the right expression pedal (B) to the lowest value (heel down), then press UP.
Finally, adjust expression pedal (B) to the highest value (toe down), then press up.
Reboot the unit.

#PureData #Behringer #FCB1010 update:

The patch is done, in terms of boiling down nearly all the function of the FCB1010 to a PureData patch that anyone can load up and use. This will be available on github (or where should I put it, Fedi? Not ready to self-host git repos but there's a lot of people who own this pedalboard who will want this...) shortly. Let me know where I should go for gratis simple repo hosting, I don't use any CI/CD or anything, my needs are a public place for my git repos, that is all.

But as you can see towards the end of the little video, my Exp2 pedal either needs calibration or replacement. I would not have known that until now cause I ain't been using the damn thing, but now I'm looking for a spare or two, and hopefully that's just calibration needed.

On my wish list is a set of Bass pedals, and I'm slowly building a set on the #teensy platform myself, once I build or organ harvest (haha) the mechanisms.

I did, however, acquire a #Behringer #FCB1010 with 10 stomp switches and two exp pedals that sends #midi and that will do fine for the moment.

It'll be sending notes into the #zynthian and could end up as something other than a triggered note depending on context.

Now, which two chromatic notes are to be my Oliver and Jane?
