FCB1010 how to make 1 stomp footswitch momentary

[nickxmix]

I have stomp box mode set up on the top row and I just want the ability to bring in the pitch block for a small part of a solo.
My question how do I program that 1 switch in my case no.10 for that function.
Thanks nickxmix

Unfortunately there's no momentary action available on the FCB1010, with or without mod.

My suggestion would be to use one of the expression pedals to control the bypass state of the block instead - toe down for on, toe up for off. Much easier and (physically) more stable than quickly double tapping a button.

in the fcb 1010 all the switches actually are momentary, but the way the programing is there is not any way that I am aware of to make it function that way. as Grit stated use a exp connected to a modifier, or use a keyboard sustain pedal plugged into the pedal jack in the back of the axe. I like to use the sustain pedal even with the mfc, it is low to the floor so you can leave weight on your heel wile using. they are also cheap to buy.

Are you using the Uno chip? Stomps can be momentary then. From the user guide:

CC “MOMENTARY” TOGGLING
A special case of “momentary toggling’ is implemented: in this mode, a CC message
with programmed value is sent when clicking a footswitch, and the same CC message,
this time with value 0, is sent when releasing the footswitch. This mode is enabled in a
very specific way: by setting the alternate CC value to 1 and disabling the CC toggling.

Wow, Bakerman I stand corrected, completely forgot about that! Somehow I got it stuck in my head that the Uno couldn't do that... I think I may have been confusing it with the fact that it can't respond to more than one simultaneous button press.

Apologies for the disinformation nick

Hi Bakerman, does that mean with the UNO chip I program in my case:
S10 with CNT1 value cc77(for pitch) ,then put a "1" where you would normally have 127, then a value of "0" in CNT2?
I'm using ripwerks: could you send me a coded jpg.
Thanks nickxmix

 

[Bakerman]

It would be configured via CNT1 parameters only. Untick the box and change the next field (likely 0 now) to 1.

Hi all, hi Bakerman,

I found the same hint "set alternate CC value of Cnt1 to 1 and disable toggle" in the UnO 1.0.4 user guide.
But it's not working as expected. Only toggling buttons work, as I set them.

My FCB1010 is set like "skintone1", but without stompbox mode; there are only 10 PC numbers.
Bank 00 is the "Looper"-Bank in my setup. Here is what some buttons do:

Button 1 = Rec on/off (this works: on press = on, next press = off)
Button 2 = stack - I tried to set this as a momentary button, but the Midi Monitor shows no "0" when I release the button = > I can't stop recording/dubbing….
Button 3 = "Once" - strangly it toggles "Once" on/off, although I set it only to one value (127).
Button 9 = Volume3-Block bypass, this was meant as a momentary button for a volume booster (while Button pressed = Volume3-Block on = louder for amp, solo…)


The toggling buttons work well, but
I attach my FCB1010 UnO sysex file (ripwerx 2.1) and here is a part of the Midi monitoring.

Maybe someone who uses not so much presets finds it interesting, but maybe someone can show me, how to set it up right or try it on his FCB?.
Thanx!


Midi Monitor:
Bank 00 Button 1 (pressed 5 times):
CC - Cont: 028, Val: 127 on MIDI channel 01 (0xb0 0x1c 0x7f)

CC - Cont: 028, Val: 127 on MIDI channel 01 (0xb0 0x1c 0x7f)

Bank 00 Button 2 (pressed 5 times): was meant as a momentary button (i.e. dub only while depresed)

I think you can configure a switch to use the "note" setting, but you'll need to translate the note on and note off to CCs. I use MidiFire for translation of all my midi messages that need it.
