tap tempo on the FCB1010
Just tested this on the FCB1010 and AxeFxII and it works great no problems. Here is the manual programming step-by-step. Holding over from the previous step-by-step example, we are using the top row buttons 6-10 as preset switches, and the bottom row 1-5 as Scene changes. Since the the bottom row (1-5) buttons already use CNT 1 to send the CC#34 for Scene Select, we'll use CNT 2 (programming mode: button 7) to set Tap Tempo. The AxeFxII defaults tap tempo to CC#14 (Global Tempo). Also, you must make sure that "Ignore Redundant PC" is set to "ON" (I/O ---> MIDI tab).
Program Tap Tempo to any button
When you can repeatedly tap this switch to enter "tap tempo" you'll see the Tempo light on the AxeFxII change its blinking speed to correspond. You can program every switch this way or you could just dedicate ONE BUTTON per FCB1010 Bank to Tap Tempo.
Connor...let me know if you make out with this! It'll save you bothering with purchasing a momentary pedal. =)
Tap tempo is easy. Again, though, pecker slammed in a laptop - I refuse to program without ripwerx so I have no idea how to set it up manually.
However, I simply set up all my patch changes so that it sends PC#1 as the preset I want, and also cc#14. Set the 1010 to ignore redundant messages, and now when you tap your patch changes first time selects the preset, second tap sends your tempo. No need for an external button, works great.

Program Tap Tempo to any button
- For this example Press button 1 on the FCB1010.
- Press and hold the Down button on the FCB1010 for about 5 seconds. This puts the FCB1010 in programming mode for button switch 1.
- Press the UP button once.
- Make sure that CNT 2 (button 7) is lit solid. If not, then press and hold the button until it is lit solid.
- Press quickly button 7 so that the red LED is now blinking.
- Press the UP button once quickly. The currently programmed value of the CC# is now blinking. We will be changing this value to CC#14 and with a value of 00 (this will have the effect of transmitting SCENE 2 to whatever AxeFX preset is currently active).
- To do this, press BUTTON 1, then BUTTON 4. The value of "14" should now be solid in the readout.
- Press the UP button once quickly. The current "VALUE" of this CC will now be displayed as blinking. Press BUTTON 0 then BUTTON 0 again. (I believe ANY VALUE other than 127 should work fine for CC#14). Thus you've programmed CC#14, value = 00
- Press the UP button once quickly. The numeric display is now blank.
- Press and hold the DOWN button for a few seconds to return to the current bank of switches. Now switch 1 is programmed to transmit tap tempo.
When you can repeatedly tap this switch to enter "tap tempo" you'll see the Tempo light on the AxeFxII change its blinking speed to correspond. You can program every switch this way or you could just dedicate ONE BUTTON per FCB1010 Bank to Tap Tempo.
