re: FCB1010 question

Hey there, 

Thanks for the info. 

I'm sorry to say that I accidentally trashed the message that Per Boysen 
sent in 
response to your posting.  It is possible that his message answers the 
question I'm 
posing below.  Is it possible for anyone to pass that along again?    

Can I ask for clarification on something you wrote?  Where you mention 
"The 1010 is 
seriously limited to using only one midi channel, period." does this mean 
that each 
bank will only talk to one channel?   If I understand this is correctly, I 
would have to 
assign one bank to each unit. 

Also,

I don't think any of the units I'm presently using have what you described 
as "fixed 
midi commands on a single channel."   I'm interpreting what you've written 
to mean 
that the units being controlled (in your case a Repeater and Behringer 
effects box), 
have particular functions assigned to occur when a cc message is received 
on a 
specific channel - when the Repeater receives cc 55 on midi channel one, 
it does 
something different than if it receives cc 55 on channel two.  If this is 
correct, I'm out 
of the woods on that one.  So far, I've been able to assign a particular 
midi channel to 
each device (Boss effects unit receives on channel 1 and the JamMan on 
channel 2).  
Each unit allows me to dictate which midi channel it will accept messages 
from.  If I 
want a pedal to control only one box, I program what ever cc message I 
want to be 
sent on to the specific unit on it's channel.  On the other channels I 
send ghost 
messages (either 00 or 128) depending on how that unit is numbered.  Is 
this 
making sense or am I missing your point? 

On the other hand, if the EDP has midi functions which are configured the 
way I've 
understood your Repeater and Behringer effects box, I'm dead meat...  I 
don't think 
that's the case though.  I think the EDP takes only commands on a 
particular channel 
(which I am able to dictate).      

 


Thanks, 

mb
