RE: Midi question/ FCB1010 wishes

["Clifford Novey" <om@Om-Studios.com>]

Just another option. I use an older and cheaper (30 bucks or so used)
MOTU Midi Express- 2in/4out in the following way- 

Master midi clock in on A- with A out #1 to another device, and #2 to IN
B- which then creates 2 more outputs of the master clock on B- 

One thing is it requires a wall wart.

Having just looked at the previously mentioned 3x8 I see it is a far
more capable and flexible solution. I want one. :)

As for the FCB-1010 it would be great if the midi channels for each
expression pedal could be customized for each and every patch. In this
way any time you used a function for a certain device the expression
pedals could be set for that device as well- I hit an EDP function and
the pedals control Vol and Fdbk- I hit a Repeater control and now maybe
they control pitch and slip- all from the same bank!

Stuart,

The heart of my looping rig (Repeater and FCB1010) is similar to 
yours, and I also need to control an Electribe ES-1 (which needs to 
send clock to everything) and a few other boxes. As far as I can 
tell, the best inexpensive solution is the Midiman/M-Audio 3x8:

bucks or so. I haven't bought it yet, but I probably will soon.

Best,
