If the Behringer FCB1010 Can provide midi control of fills, then so can an Ipad (with an App), if you have one.

True. :wink:

I've already tested it with my PC and some quickly written macros to send the Program Change data to the PA600. Works like a charm.

The FCB-1010 is just the ticket for me as I can really use the expression pedals. (as well as the 10 pads)

Thoraldus...thank you. That was a very useful post. It sounds like I should be able to meet my needs with the Behringer...I'll check it out.

Thanks so much and God bless!

Thoraldus, would you perhaps be able to give a detailed step-by-step instruction of how to set up the Access to the fills using the Behringer - settings both on the Keyboard and on the Behringer? For $149 it definitely is a great answer...very flexible too!

Thanks and God bless!

I don't have the FCB-1010 yet, but there are some tutorials for it on Youtube. You might want to start there.

cheers,
Rick

Here are the Program Change #'s for the Style elements ...

80 Intro 1
81 Intro 2
82 Intro 3/Count In
83 Variation 1
84 Variation 2
85 Variation 3
86 Variation 4
87 Fill 1
88 Fill 2
89 Fill 3
90 Fill 4
91 Break
92 Ending 1
93 Ending 2
94 Ending 3

Just sending the PC# to the midi control channel will activate the selected style element.

I would probably set up the PA600 to receive control data on channel 16. (GLOBAL > MIDI > MIDI IN CHANNEL > 16 = Control)

Then set up the FCB1010 to output the desired style element PC# to channel 16. PAD 1 = FILL 1 = PC#87 etc.

cheers,
Rick

Hello, have anyone tried a Korg nano pad for this purpose ?
Any experience with it ?
I don't know anything about music. In my line you don't have to -- Elvis Presley.

Fill functions are already included in OS (as I wrote ) , just 3-5 damned switches are missing to activate them ,
that's the insane !
Please reread my post. That's EXACTLY what I was pointing out above. You can add the switches needed if you really want that feature. You also get a bonus with the FCB1010 - you can add a LOT more control functions to the PA600. I'l be adding an FCB1010 to my setup shortly. I need a Swell pedal for all the organ music I play. ;-)
Rick I'm really glad you are thinking of the FCB1010 I will know where to go and get some help. I think that the FCB1010 compliments the PA600 it really free's up the hands. Just think change STS/Fills/endings/ I havn't got around to using a pedal for rotary work but it'll come one day lol! Anybody using a Mac I strongly recommend the iFCB software about £15 GBP and a doddle to programme.
