fcb1010: dirty data...anyone ever noticed?
To help me out with all this midi stuff I installed MidiMonitor to
keep track of all the messages going in and out of the computer.
Great little program. I also used it to generate a detailed list of
all the messages I'm sending on each bank...it's gotten complicated
enough that I've started forgetting what is where...
Anyway...what's been pretty enlightening, watching the midi messages
scroll by, is noticing a few bits of "extra" data being sent along
with my patches.... occasionally. I also I noticed that the Repeaters
don't wig out so much when controlled by the computer as they do when
controlled by the FCB1010. I think quite a few of my long-standing
midi problems are about the foot controller, not the Repeater.
(with one exception: every now and then I can still make the Repeater
speed by pressing the Multiply button on the front, and if I send too
many messages at once, or messages in rapid succession the unit will
get stuck with a "Not Ready" message on the LCD...but these problems
are my old friends now and we're used to each other)
So back to those "extra", messages from the FCB1010...
has anyone ever noticed them???
In my case, it's always "hidden" Control data from CNT1, that is
turned off in a patch, but about every 2nd press, gets sent anyway!
I can make it happen consistently every other time by sending a Note
message. To test, I turned off every single switch in a bank of
patches, EXCEPT for the Note switch (switch 0). The "bonus" Control
message sent with the Note message is always what WOULD be sent if
CNT1 switch (switch 6) were on.
Very interesting....
I'm going to take this up on the FCB1010 forum, but since there are a
few people who use this pedal, I thought I'd mention it.
Wish those Ground Control buttons weren't those little metal doo-
dads....or I'd use that...
