11 2.5 Controller toggle function Thi function allow you to configure one controller o that it alternately end two different value, e.g. effect bypa, drive on/off, etc. In order to enable the controller witch-over function, you need to globally elect the ame MIDI channel for CNT1 and CNT2 (ee chapter 2.2), and enter the ame controller number for CNT1 and CNT2 in the preet (NUMBER, ee chapter 2.4.4). The firt time you recall the preet, it will end the controller value of CNT1 (VALUE 1), with each additional key pre you can alternate between CNT2 and CNT1. Eample: Select preet 1 without DRIVE function on the BEHRINGER V-AMP each time you pre the ame button again, DRIVE will be witched on or off repectively: PROG CHG 1 = 1, CNT 1 NUMBER = 26, VALUE 1 = 0, CNT 2 NUMBER = 26, VALUE 1 = TAP-TEMPO function In addition to the NOTE function, which i ued by many effect device to tap the ong tempo, the FCB1010 offer you another way to reach thi goal: the TAP-TEMPO function alo allow you to enter the ong tempo, however, tranmit a FCB1010- generated controller value to the controlled effect device, in order to adjut the delay time. Advantage: you can alo control device that cannot proce NOTE command, but only allow for changing the delay time by mean of a MIDI controller. + The TAP-TEMPO function doe not work with DIRECT SELECT enabled. The TAP-TEMPO function ha no dedicated witch, but i activated a follow: Select the PRESET you wih to edit. Keep the DOWN/ESCAPE key preed longer than 2.5 ec. to get to the programming mode. The green SWITCH 1/ SWITCH 2 LED in the diplay tart flahing. Ue the UP/ENTER key to get to the net page. The SELECT LED in the diplay i lit. + To program a MIDI function, you have to firt activate it. Individual MIDI function are activated by keeping the correponding key preed for a few econd. Active MIDI function are indicated by a permanently lit footwitch LED. Select the NOTE function you wih to edit by keeping the 10/0 key preed for a few econd and then conequently tap it once again briefly. The footwitch LED blink. Confirm your election with UP/ENTER. The NUMBER LED light up. Enter the maimal poible delay time value for the equipment you wih to control. Calculate the value that i to be entered for NOTE by dividing the maimum delay time value by 10 m. Confirm your election with UP/ENTER. The SELECT LED light up. + Pleae note that the FCB1010 allow for a maimum delay time of 1,270 m, which i due to the MIDI tandard maimum reolution of 7 bit (= 128 value). MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER FCB1010 The VALUE to be entered now correpond to the upper limit of the parameter range determined by the controlled device. That might ound a bit confuing, but it quite eay: the manual that came with the device uually contain an effect table liting the parameter range to be input via MIDI in order to control the delay time. For eample, the device might ue the entire range from 0 through 127; or a limited range from 0 through 63, and o on. So, the VALUE parameter imply determine the reolution with which the delay time can be programmed. The higher the value, the higher the reolution. Confirm your entry with UP/ENTER. The SELECT LED light up. Diable Control Change 1 (CNT 1) by mean of a long footwitch pre on footwitch #6. Thi i neceary becaue otherwie each time you elect the PRESET ued for tempo tapping, the FCB1010 would tranmit the controller defined here (including the adjuted VALUE parameter), intead of the FCB1010-generated value. Quit PRESET programming mode by mean of a long pre on DOWN. Now, the TAP-TEMPO function i ready for ue. To ue the tap-tempo feature, pre the footwitch (which elect the PRESET jut programmed) twice in the rhythm of the muic, e.g. every crotchet or quaver note. The FCB1010 will calculate the delay time and end it to the receiving device, by mean of the controller you elected before. If the interval between the two footwitch pree i greater than the maimum NOTE/NUMBER value, the FCB1010 will divide the time by 2 until it i equal to or maller than the maimum value. Thu, a crotchet delay become a quaver or emiquaver delay, depending on which value can be proceed in the receiving device. 2.7 Data torage Saving the FCB1010 memory with the help of SyE dump The FCB1010 allow you to tranmit PRESETS in the form of ytem-ecluive data to a equencer or other MIDI recorder. In thi way, you can ave your data or manage everal MIDI etup (e.g. tudio equipment, guitar equipment, etc.). If you wih to ave your data on an eternal equencer/ computer, pleae follow the intruction below: Connect the MIDI OUT of your FCB1010 to the MIDI IN of your equencer/computer (ee fig. 2.5) Keep the DOWN witch preed roughly 2.5 ec during power-up to enter the GLOBAL CONFIGURATION menu. Pre UP until the CONFIGURATION LED light up. Now the unit i in CONFIGURATION mode. Start the RECORD function on your equencer/computer. The footwitch LED light up and i no longer lit up when all SyE data from the FCB1010 have been tranmitted. Then pre footwitch #6 to dump the FCB1010 data. Quit the GLOBAL CONFIGURATION menu by mean of a long pre on DOWN/ESCAPE. Activate control change 1 (CNT 1) by keeping the footwitch 6 preed for a few econd. The footwitch LED light up and i activated by briefly tapping the footwitch (the LED blink). Pre UP/ENTER again. Now the FCB1010 prompt you to enter a controller number. The NUMBER LED light up. Enter the controller number which the manufacturer of your effect device ha preet for delay time change. Confirm your election with UP/ENTER. The VAL1 LED light up. 2. PROGRAMMING THE FCB

Reetting your FCB1010 let you retore variou default etting that are optimized for ue with BEHRINGER audio equipment. Thi i why there are three different key combination that let you reload the deired default into the memory of your FCB1010. Thi key combination are hown in table 2.5: Pre footwitch #7 (SYSEX RCV) to tell the FCB1010 to wait for ytem-ecluive data (the footwitch LED light up). Start the PLAYBACK function on your equencer/ computer to play back the previouly tored file. The footwitch LED flahe while the FCB1010 i receiving data. Once the data have been received correctly, the LED die out. Now your program are back in the FCB1010 memory.

Connect the MIDI OUT jack of your FCB1010 to the MIDI IN of your amp (ee fig. 3.1), uing a tandard 5-pole MIDI cable. Program your FCB1010 a decribed in chapter 2.4. Pleae refer to the uer manual of your amp to find out what function can be controlled via MIDI. 3.2 Epanded etup (uing the witch function) Both pedal are now correctly calibrated. 3. APPLICATIONS Several application eample that hould help you with the MIDI etup are decribed in thi chapter. A long a your equipment feature MIDI connector, you can control it entirely via the FCB1010. All you need i a MIDI IN connector at the other end. No audio ignal pa through the FCB1010 and conequently no ignal proceing take place in it either. The FCB1010 merely tranmit control data to your MIDI equipment, o it can for eample call up preet, turn effect on or off, or adjut volume. You can find more detailed information on thi ubject in chapter 4 MIDI A STANDARD, A REVOLUTION. 3.1 Baic etup Fig. 3.2: Guitar etup (uing the witch function) Here, the FCB1010 i ued to control an effect device via MIDI.

14 4. MIDI A STANDARD, A REVOLUTION In the early 80 everal leading manufacturer of electronic muical intrument developed a common tandard, which wa oon to revolutionize the entire MI indutry both from a technical and muical point of view. The MIDI tandard (hort for: Muical Intrument Digital Interface) wa invented to allow muical intrument of different make to communicate with each other. What i urpriing in view of the rapidly developing MI indutry i the fact that thi tandard ha baically not changed ever ince, becaue it wa deigned with future upgrade in mind. So, the MIDI interface range of application could be epanded over the year: from the imple connection of everal keyboard intrument to one mater keyboard to connecting whole tudio and live et-up within a ingle MIDI network MIDI ha become an infinite ource of idea and innovation. Numerou muician recognized the veratility of thi tandard and created new and eciting world of ound by combining different intrument to one homogeneou whole. It i important to know that the MIDI interface tranmit no audio ignal but only control data (e.g. key, program change or volume number)! MIDI i jut an interface for the control and networking of device and intrument. At the heart of thi network you could ue your FCB1010 to control all of your amplifier, effect and peripheral device. Live on tage and in the tudio you could control your entire equipment in real time. MIDI control data can be tored and edited on a computer, o that you can alo ue your FCB1010 to enter controller and program change information into your computer. 4.1 MIDI connection The MIDI connector on the rear of the unit are on internationally tandardized 5-pin DIN jack. To connect your FCB1010 to other MIDI device you need a dedicated MIDI cable. Uually, commercially available cable are ued. However, you can alo ue a two-conductor hielded cable (e.g. microphone cable) and two (rugged) 180 DIN plug to make your own MIDI cable: pin 2 (center) = hield, pin 4 and 5 (right and left of pin 2) = internal conductor, pin 1 und 3 (the two outer pin) are not ued. MIDI cable hould not be longer than 15 meter. MIDI IN: erve to receive recorded ytem-ecluive data or to merge any MIDI ignal with FCB1010-generated data. + The FCB1010 ha no dedicated MIDI THRU port. However, the data received at the MIDI IN can be routed to the MIDI OUT provided that the MERGE function i enabled (GLOBAL CONFIGURATION). MIDI OUT: The MIDI OUT allow you to tranmit data to any MIDI-compatible device/intrument. 4.2 MIDI data format Although the FCB1010 i very eay to operate, it doe make ene to know a few thing about the format of MIDI data. Each MIDI command or meage conit of up to three byte (1 byte = 8 bit). There a difference between tatu byte and data byte: tatu byte define the type of a pecific MIDI meage, i.e. the actual intruction to be ent to a device, while data byte contain the information or parameter defined by the correponding tatu byte. One tatu byte can be followed by up to two data byte. different contet: many effect device allow for tapping delay time, etc., by meauring the time interval between two NOTE ON meage. With the FCB1010 you can tap delay time or ong tempo by electing a NOTE PRESET twice. NOTE ON and NOTE OFF meage feature the following data format: 6WDWXV%\WH 'DWD%\WH 'DWD%\WH Note Off &8n (n=channel #) Note # Velocity Note On &9n (n=channel #) Note # Velocity Tab. 4.1: Data format of NOTE ON and NOTE OFF meage The channel number range i 1 through 16, the data byte range i 0 through 127. It hould be noted though that NOTE OFF meage are not o common today (for reaon of data reduction, cf. running tatu). Uually, NOTE ON meage with zero velocity are tranmitted intead. The FCB1010 follow thi convention. By the way: when you program the NOTE function on your FCB1010 you only need to enter the note number, becaue note are alway tranmitted with a velocity of CONTROL CHANGE meage CONTROL CHANGE meage are the mot powerful MIDI meage, a they allow you to elect and automate plenty of parameter and function. On your FCB1010 you can define and tranmit CONTROL CHANGE meage, e.g. to change pecific effect parameter in real time. The mot important CONTROL CHANGE meage are volume control (Controller 07), Balance (08), Panorama (09) and reverb intenity (91) PROGRAM CHANGE meage PROGRAM CHANGE meage are ued to change preet or ound in connected device/intrument. The parameter range i 0 through 127. The value 0 to 127 of the 128 preet are available. Equipment with more than 128 preet ha thee preet broken down into everal bank for MIDI control. With your FCB1010, it i poible to end MIDI bank and program change command by uing jut one keytroke. An eternal piece of equipment (e.g. effect proceor, ound module etc.) can be controlled via controller 1 & 3 in connection with PRG 5 (PROG CHG). In doing o, controller 1 & 2 are ued a 2-byte bank elect controller, whereby up to 128 (MSB) 128 (LSB) bank can be dialed in. Controller 1 need to contain the number 00 and the MSB bank value, while controller 2 need to contain the number 32 and the LSB bank value. The program change command that activate the preet in the new bank i ent with PRG 5. Almot all device have a lit encloed which how the program change number veru preet number aignment. Some unit even allow you to freely aign program change command to preet number. Pleae ee the correponding uer manual for detailed information. There are variou type of MIDI meage. Since the FCB1010 doe not undertand or tranmit all of them, we will only deal with thoe that are of importance to you in thi contet NOTE ON and NOTE OFF meage NOTE ON and NOTE OFF meage are eential MIDI meage for any keyboard virtuoo, a they allow to control remote intrument from one mater keyboard or computer. The FCB1010, too, can end NOTE ON meage, however, in a MIDI A STANDARD, A REVOLUTION

15 4.2.4 Running tatu Since the MIDI tandard ue a erial tranmiion format, i.e. tranmit data ucceively, it wa oon found that the tranmiion rate i too low if the ytem i eploited to it full capacity. To make up for an audibly delayed tranmiion of MIDI data, the o-called running tatu wa introduced, which uppree the tatu byte in two or more identical MIDI meage that follow each other. For eample, if the data byte of a controller (e.g. volume) are changed continuouly, the correponding tatu byte i ent only once. Only the data byte change are tranmitted, a long a another tatu byte i ent, i.e. in each meage tranmitted you can eliminate 8 bit. Thi i alo the reaon why NOTE OFF meage are no longer ued. When a keyboard player play a cale on a keyboard and end thee data via MIDI to a computer, each NOTE ON meage would be followed by a NOTE OFF meage, each time a key i releaed. The running tatu would identify the NOTE OFF meage a a new tatu byte and hence end it, which reult in a data amount of 8 note time 8 bit, i.e. 192 bit. Since NOTE ON meage belong to thoe MIDI meage that are ued mot often, it wa decided to end NOTE ON meage with zero velocity intead. The audible effect i the ame, but in the Running Statu the data amount can be reduced by 7 time 8 bit, i.e. 56 bit. A a conequence, the overall data amount produced by the cale mentioned above i only 136 bit. With the FCB1010 you are free to witch the Running Statu feature on or off (ee ch ).
