Behringer MIDI Control Surfaces

The Bhringer FCB 1010 is definitely worth your money. Not that it cost a lot either! it’s a mdid foot controller that has 10 bank presets and you can edit each one. There are also two expression pedals that can be assigned to a midi channel. The FCB1010 is a really good investment. This is the first kind of midi foot controller I have every used. Since then I have used a few but must say that this one is probably best when it comes to money spent and quality. Its very easy to set up , it can pretty much be set up in any program with a global or generic midi option. But once you do that you will be able to save and create your own presets so that each time you turn it on all of your favorite stuff is saved so you wont have to go through setting it up each time you want to use it. Which comes in handy because doing that every time would give you quite a headache. The Behringer FCB 1010 has a built in power supply and it is built to last. Although I wouldn’t be stopping on this thing to much just because I wouldn’t want to take the chance in damaging something internally. But that doesn’t mean you have to step on it like its an egg. You can put some weight and pressure on it. Just don’t be jumping up and down on it! I have to say I am impressed with the FCB 1010. It actually made me check out some other foot controllers out of curiosity just to see how good this one actually is. Like I saw before its better than a lot of other models that I have tried. Its German made so you know it will last a long time! Give it a shot, you wont be disappointed with your purchase.

I've been using it for one month. It's my first Midi controller. Pros: No latency with Traktor, Scratch Pro, Ableton, etc. Enough space between the controls Endless rotary controls are useful when you change presets in Ableton. Cons: Plastic construction (same applies to the UC-33) I had to return it after two days because a switch didn't work properly. B-CONTROL software never works: too many bugs with a PC, doesn't support Mac. No slipmaps for the different presets, like on the UC-33 and Xone 2D/1D. Not enough faders. Good value for money: huge possibilities and really affordable. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again with the same budget. In spite of the faults and cons, it's a very good controller. Good product for low budgets! I just tried out the UC33 and it's much too small! I don't understand how people can mix with it. Originally written by beatrouble on Audiofanzine FR.

I love this thing tho I wish I could use it as an audio interface its not a bad mixer at all. Then again its Behringer so maybe its best they stick to midi lol Price paid: $200 USD Its very easy to use in a session but I still havent figured out how to save presets and installing the drivers took some time because i had to find them on the behringer website because they do not come with it I didnt like that It seems pretty strong so far but im still very careful with it I love it Im looking into getting the BCR 2000 now which is the version of this but with only rotary knobs Originally posted on FutureProducers.com Posted by: Xabiton ( 9-, 2005)
