Having recently purchased an FCB1010 to control a Repeater, I can appreciate your frustation. I've always experienced strange behavior from my Repeater when attempting to control my Repeater using PC's only. And this from three (3-count 'em) different MIDI pedals. For some reason, PC's alone don't seem to properly control MY Repeater. I believe I have the latest MIDI docs (O/S 1.1 addendum plus I downloaded the latest MIDI documentation form the Electrix website). And I'm running O/S 1.1. Anyhow, what I finally did to get the Repeater to function, is to program the specific PC AND the specific CC to send a specific function (i.e. RECORD, UNDO, etc.). Now, it (the FCB1010) works flawlessly. Maybe there are errors in the docs. Or maybe my Repeater is flakey. Don't know. Anyhow, try sending both the PC & CC for a function.
