PA2X Pro and FCB1010
Posted: Wed Feb 10, 2010 5:07 pm
Hi All,
I know from previous posts that many of you are using the Behringer FCB1010 for midi control of your keyboards and I am seeking advice as to programming the FCB continuous pedals which I have failed to get working on my PA2X.
Originally I set up my variation, fill, ending controls successfully by programming the FCB manually and at that time I could not get the continuous pedals to work and frankly given the difficulty of FCB manual programming [it is a pig to program] I gave up pending an easier solution. Having read on this forum of the availability of FCB 1010 software for programming, I have now used this and it is much easier but I have still failed to get the continuous pedals to work.
Currently I have used midi channel 16 as control channel and the Global/Midi In channel on the PA2X is set at default with channel 16 as control. I would like to possibly use the 2 FCB continuous pedals to control Upper 1 and 2 volumes [or expression?] independently or perhaps rotary speaker speed. In order to do this, I have set a control change of 7 with range 0 - 127 in the FCB software for each pedal -- should it perhaps be 11 [expression] --- but the pedals have no effect. I suspect that I may have to set different midi channels for Upper 1 and 2 but have not been able to get this working either.
I read an interesting post from Karmathaneva dated 12 Dec 2007 in which he gave some details of his FCB/PA2X set up which seemed to be ideal and if he could perhaps help I would appreciate it.
Thank you.
