Axe-Master
I have an old FCB1010 that I haven't been using for years (I was using my $50 Arduino DIY controller installed on a binder, but now I need something solid until I mount my controller in a metallic box).
My priority is to use scenes and only a couple of presets per gig, so I have programmed it like this:
- Switches 1-8 >Scenes 1-8
- Switch 9 > Preset Decrement
- Switch 10 > Preset Increment
Following chapter 2.4.4 (page 9) of the Behringer FCB1010 User Manual
Example of Scene Select 1 at Switch n.1:
And, given the flexibility of the Axe-FX III to assign CC's to bypass any block or to control the looper, the FCB1010 can be used for controlling anything without the need of a custom EPROM.
Maybe I will use Switch-9 to sequentially roll through the presets and Switch-10 for Tempo Tapping or other function.

Following chapter 2.4.4 (page 9) of the Behringer FCB1010 User Manual
Example of Scene Select 1 at Switch n.1:
- Press Switch-1
- Press DOWN for more than 2.5 seconds (Switch1/2 LED will flash)
- Press UP/ENTER two times (Select LED ON)
- If Switch-1 led is ON, press Switch-1 until the LED is OFF (to deactivate Program Change function)
- Press Switch-6 (CNT-1) for few seconds (Switch- 6 LED ON)
- Briefly press Switch-6 (Switch- 6 LED will flash)
- Press UP/ENTER (Value-1 LED ON)
- Enter number 34 (CC34) either with the expression pedal 1 or with the switches.
- Press UP/ENTER
- Select the desired value for CC34 (0 to select Scene 1, 1 to select Scene 2...)
- Press UP/ENTER
- Exit programming mode pressing DOWN few second
- At the Axe-FX III, under MIDI>Other>PRESET/SCENE set Scene Select to 34
- At the Axe-FX III, under MIDI>Other>PRESET/SCENE set Preset Increment to 1 (it will use CC01)
- At the Axe-FX III, under MIDI>Other>PRESET/SCENE set Preset Decrement to 2 (it will use CC02)
- At the Axe-FX III, under MIDI>Other>PRESET/SCENE set Preset Inc/Dec Start and End to the desired limits that you want to use
- Follow the steps above for Switches 9 and 10 but using CC01 and CC02 instead of CC34.
- The CC value must be zero (if you set it to 1, the presets will be incremented in steps of 2)
And, given the flexibility of the Axe-FX III to assign CC's to bypass any block or to control the looper, the FCB1010 can be used for controlling anything without the need of a custom EPROM.
