Hello allz

I bought a FCB1010 to control two KP3 with its 12 footwitches (FW) but I have only one KP3 for the moment.

I used an old SCART cable (with a lot of wires in it ^^) with a male and female plugs for separate the units easilly.

On the KP3, there are holes for each buttons to solder wires which will be linked to the FCB : footswitches 1 2 3 4 to loop bank 1 2 3 4, Sampling button to FW 5 and Tap tempo to Down FW.

I have left unused wires for another KP3 =)

Here is a little demonstration, there is no music ^^

The FCB does not send note on simultaneaously, only one per one

There is no Sampling button activation remotely...

Notice that the FCB is not powered, so I can use it to control my keyboard for example, but I need a switch to deactivate sending on/off on the KP3...

If you want to activate B and mute C with Midi, that does not work simultaneaously, one per one... The buttons remains activated or not if you press another one of course =)

With this wiring, you can switch the four on/off at the same time if you want ^^

Don't forget it's stand alone, you can control another midi device but a switch is needed to avoid controlling the KP3 at the same time. A switch that cuts the Scart's ground is enough =)

With the FCB in Midi mode, you can control the banks you assigned, so ABCD to 1234. You can switch the banks on and off as you wish, all off, all on, only one if you want... But not simulaneaously, if you want to switch off BC or AD or AC or else, you must press each FW one after one. My wiring does that. The Sampling button is not midi controlled, big lack...

Hope that I answered correctly ? ^^

Excellent work Niarf!

Any chance you have pics of what it looks like after you finished soldering it together?

I'm trying to do the same thing, but with an Art X-15. Any and all help would be very much appreciated!!

Thanks
