Benok,
I have heard there is a OEM chip you can get for the FCB1010 and I have heard there is a software that makes it a lot easier to program.

I actually am looking at getting a FCB1010 myslf this week. I also looked at the Yamaha MFC10 and I think it wouls be good too (only one exp pedal, but more can be added) It is more $$ also.

Maybe I should get the Yamaha too? If the FCB1010 is that bad to use.

Lee, i have the behringer pedal, i dont like it,the ,manual sucks, if you look at the yammy manual it is well explained, you are right you can use extra pedals on it, yes it is more money,i went on the behringer forum, there seems to be a lot of confused people there about this pedal,i think i am getting rid of it, i am a little bit of a midi idiot, so it is complicated for me .all i want to use is the program functions on page 293 manual pa 800, any help is appricecated, benok

Behringer FCB1010:-
Forget the manual - use the PC software editor - it's simple.
Page 293 - Performances - FCB1010 is perfect for this - it is what I use mine for.
My FCB1010 is currently set up to control:-
>> volume for UPPER 1 and UPPER2
>> Select various performances
>> Control style elements (FILLS & ENDINGS)
>> Control my Korg PA2Xpro "Assignable" pedal

I can keep my EC5 for the functions that are not available for MIDI control via MIDI pedal (like "ensemble" toggle)

Once programmed the FCB1010 pedal is excellent (my opinion anyway...)

Cheers

Pete
