Behringer FCB1010 Manual page 6

Dear BEHRINGER users, Page 6 of 10
Changes because they knew that the basic Prog. Change scope of 0-127, combined with the built in ability of the CT to
"remap" to any available Preset, would suffice for most folk.
This MIDI "map-ability" means that you could do it in any order, or even do something really whacky like map a bunch of
FC selections to the SAME CT Preset (could be useful if you are doing a gig and some drunk starts dancing on your Foot
Controller!)
From what I've seen, the Behringer is way more programmable, on the other hand, it may be real flimsy compared to the
Fender Unit (worth considering since it's only purpose in life is to be stomped on!)
I think the FCC is only able to indicate that you are in Tuner Mode (either the Behringer or the Fender will switch to it). The
display is not adequate to display actual tuning details, nor is the foot controller able to determine the note being played.
First, a small lesson on MIDI program changes and Continuous Controllers, 3 things you need to understand.
1) There are 16 channels (Channel 0-15) which program change messages and continuous controller data can be
transmitted and received on. (Much like tuning to a radio station in which you receive an FM Broadcast)
2) There are 128 program change messages available (0-127) on each channel
3) There are 128 (0-127) Continuous Controllers on each channel, which control variables such as volume, gain, wah
etc... Each continuous controller has a value associated with it with a range from 0-127
There are also MIDI Note on/off commands which are irrelevant here, as the CT does not use MIDI Note on/off
commands to perform it's MIDI Functions.
Having said that, I will continue on with some CT specific MIDI data, as well as some variations on what the Behringer
FCB1010 and Fender CFC are capable of.
1) The CT can be assigned to receive MIDI data on any or all of the MIDI channels 0-15 or Omni for all (See #1 above)
2) The CT has a MIDI Map which responds to Program Change messages on the channel assigned (See Above #2) Using
this MIDI Map you can assign any of the CT's 205 presets to respond to program change 0-127. (ie. You can Map C42 to
Program Change 103. Upon receipt of Program Change number 103, the CT will go to Amp Design C42.)
3) The CT has CONSTANT Continuos Controller assignments for several different parameters which can be found in the
back of the CT Manual as well as one ASSIGNABLE Continuous Controller which is assigned in your Amp settings under
"Continuous Controller" (Can be any of the parameters assignable under "Expression Pedal")
The CONSTANT Continuous Controller (Or "CC" from now on) for Master Volume is CC #7, Value 0-127.
