Hello, I consider buying a microsampler. But I would like to know if I can control it with a foot controller (trigger samples, start sampling, etc). I have a fcb1010, so it would be great if it works with that.
Or can somebody recommend another foot controller?
Thanks in advance!

ok, I post this, because I hope it will help some people here also:

I read on a post from the user "Horvath" that the microsampler can be controlled via sysex messages.
see the post here:

He shows the format of the sysex messages in his post:

According to your quote about FCB1010 and UNO-firmware, its sysex support is yet somewhat limited.

First of all, think out what you want to control. In order. Discover corresponding messages from my descriptions and try to send them using FCB1010 (you can check them in MIDI-OX or any other MIDI-monitoring software). That's all.

Samples are triggered by note messages, on and off.

Bome's MIDI Translator would work great for this

Go to youtube and search:

There's a video showing the midi foot controller FC-1010 used to trigger the patterns via the midi solutions event processor plus. I sent the programming to the midi solutions web page and they made it available to the public.

Hi, did you ever find out the play command?

Would I even need it if I slave the MS to another sequencer?

Sorry Im trying to work this stuff out before i buy...

Thanks

Ah ok thanks... I went ahead and bought one anyway.
By the way, for this kind of remapping there is a great ipad app called mididesigner pro. It's got a feature called pedal boards that allows you to remap midi controllers.

You can just send CC# messages to accomplish all of the NRPN functions such as record and pattern change.
All can be done with the FCB1010.

Look at the table on page 46 of the microsampler manual under 'About MIDI messages' point 5. NRPN messages

First send over CC#99 with a value of 32 (this only needs to de done once when you power the sampler up and is the MSB value in the table).

Program the FCB1010 pedals to send out CC#98 with a value corresponding to the LSB column on the table (you want the value which is NOT in brackets), this will specify which function will operate when CC#6 is received (the value of #6 corresponds to the last column on the table)

You can transmit two CC# per FCB1010 pedal, so with #98 on slot one and #6 on slot two you 'should' be able to switch functions without having to send #98 and #6 separately.

For example if I wanted to press the record button using the pedal I would send:
CC#99 = 032
CC#98 = 002

then every time the microsampler receives CC#6 = 127 the record button will operate.

If I then wanted to switch to patterns:
CC#98 = 001
Then CC#6 will change patterns depending on what value of CC#6 is received (see the table).

Hope this helps...
(Just make sure the footcontroller is sending MIDI data to the microsampler's global MIDI channel.)

Hey guys - I know this is an old thread but it's exactly what I am dealing with now.

Does anyone have any insight into programming the FCB1010 and Event Processor with the Microsamplers efx section?

All I want is 5 options for efx (stompbox mode)

Eg; set one to be delay on /off - reverb on / off etc..

There is this thread
http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=55884

where the poster details the sysex he used but it has me stumped. Is there anyone out there that can help me program this thing with efx?
