Re: Behringer FCB1010



Yes, you will need a USB/MIDI interface for the FCB.  They are however little more than cables now so I wouldn't rule the FCB out just because of this:

I forget what audio interface you're using but many have a 1x1 MIDI interface.

While we're exploring other pedals, there is also this one I don't think anyone mentioned:

It is smaller than the FCB and has one jack for an expression pedal.

It has been awhile since I looked at this but IIRC, I didn't like it for Mobius because it was designed
primarily to send program changes and couldn't be configured to work in "sustain" mode where it
sends something when you press a button and something else when you release the button.
(Some footswitches call this "instant" or "momentary").  If you don't have that then you
can't use any of the sustainable functions in Mobius, but this may not matter to you.

One last question: The Behringer requires a midi interface to interact with Mobius, does it not? I just thought of this. This is pushing me towards the Stealth. I envision being able to put a MacBook, pedalboard, and a few effects into my back pack and carry my guitar and lute to a gig, riding trains. I have a couple of rackmount midi interfaces (motu 828 and FirePod) but that would add extra weight and take up precious space in my baggage. Of course I could buy yet another midi interface in the form of a small USB one, but that seems like a waste and a step backwards.
