in defense of the FCB1010

[Paul Greenstein <paul@ubiq.co.uk>]

In defense of the FCB, it is *much* less expensive than solutions like 
the switchblade, which (as far as I can tell from the literature) does 
absolutely everything, including sending out 'bursts' of MIDI 
controllers/notes etc. across multiple channels, which is probably what 
many people on this list are looking for in a controller.

I would love the FCB to be able to do more, especially send out more 
than 2 CCs at a time, and I also find the whole idea of burning eproms 
almost medieval, but again for the price, (in my opinion) it's still an 
excellent device, and a reasonably flexible solution to controlling 
multiple devices.

cheers
