Virtual Decadence
Published on 12/17/06 at 07:48
I use it mainly for a few months is to drive my POD XT or Toneport of Gearbox Software Line 6, or Ableton Live or Logic (transport bar to register).
Unbeatable value for money!
But above all I changed the EPROM to use alternative firmware Uno. The chip cost me 15 euros on the net and just for the Stompbox mode (which preserves the state of the preset / effects pedals assigned to stomp / mod / delay / RGB even if we change the preset or bank). .. is the day and night for the Line 6 POD.
Not to mention a tap tempo that really works.
In short, we can begin to compare it to the Line 6 pedal in terms of functionality and ergonomics (and given the price difference, there's no photo).
You end up with 19 banks of 5 presets + 5 stompbox assignable fixed instead of the 10 banks of 10 preset standard mode (still managed by the UNO, a global setting to enable or not the mode "stompbox").
Also note that the stompbox can operate in "temporary" effect is active until you release the pressure on the pedal. It can accommodate as well.

For MAC users: I just programmed with a dedicated editor Sysex
http://www.ripwerx.com/RipwerxFcb1010Editor.html
It can handle both the official firmware of the UNO Behringer. (For the PC there are two excellent graphics editors, see the yahoo group). CAUTION: provide two MIDI cables in and out to use software to read / write config / presets ... the FCB is delivered with a cable).
What is good in providing Behringer is that, despite the fact that in general they do not break the ass for their clients, they are nevertheless quite interesting commodity to third-party developers to do the job in their place (I've seen it with the viewer software for Mac on the BCF 2000).
All that to say that I rediscovered my FCB1010 for several days.
EDIT: To avoid disappointment, do not you start in changing the EPROM if you do not read English. (I say this to people who contact me by MP but I do not have too much temsp to help them out)
