Re: Programming the Behringer FCB1010 for Echoplex use, a quick guide



Excellent. what else could we control with the expression pedal besides
feedback and volume?  What would be cool is to set up a pedal so that it
turned the volume of one EDP to 0 and the other to max, to mess around with
manual panning...not really that useful for me though, just an idea. It
appears that the Behringer is a bit of a poular topic now, and I've learned
some ver practiacl thins....glad I switch it it, even if I can't fit it in
my suitcase. :)  Too bad you can manually control the speed of a loop (not
just half and full) with the EDPs and an expression pedal. That would be
mind-blowing.
