Re: Berhinger FCB1010 CC Values w/ Ableton Looper

Yeah Per
Considering functionality they're very cheap compared to the other
likely suspects.
I just remembered, some of the switches needed to be pushed harder than
others which got really annoying.  Since I'd already opened it up, I
placed a bit of cardboard strategically under the offending switches,
and working so well I'd forgotten I'd done it.  I figured cardboard is
softer than metal or plastic so shouldn't pose a risk when stomping on
the pedal, not sure if the cardboard will pick up moisture.

Once I've got a stereo looper, and a couple of other FX pedals sorted,
I'm thinking of getting the Gordius module.  Among other things I like
the built in midi sync master with programmable BPM or tap tempo
features.  Combined with a midi break out box this looks very versatile.
