[mtr9367]

Hi,
I try to use my FCB1010 connect to my MULTIAMP again, I know how to switch patches by FCB1010, and tuner, tap control functions,
but I still don't how to setting the expression pedal for control MA's volume,

Please help me how to setting the volume pedal by midi, I already follow those step :
host.mtnsys.com:81/faq-fcb/IdiotsGuide.htm

to set CC #27 on my FCB1010, but still didn't working, should I set any midi map or channel to patches on my MA?

thank you very much!

Hi! I haven't got the unit with me now, so I try to remember how that's done.

First you would need the midi channel to be the same in both units of course, but I believe it's right in your case if you can switch preset etc. Have you configured volume pedal to FCB this way:

- Hold "Down" button for 5 sec
- Hold button nro 8 long to activate it.. nro 8 light should be on after this
- Click nro 8 again shortly and it starts to blink > click "UP" button
- Then put cc number 27 > click "UP" button
- Then put number 00 > click "UP"
- Then put number 127 > click "UP"
- Finally hold "DOWN" button for 5 sec to store

You also have to put VOL block to MULTIAMP to be able to use it properly.

Hi, Ceccez, Many thanks for your fast reply,
I did try the tips that you mention above just now, but it still can not working,
I'm sure I did set the CC number #27 on my FCB1010,
So I'm wondering should I also do some setting on the MA? e.g. midi address, preset/patche map or control cahnge map(in this page, now the volume pedal C/C is 1)
BTW, when I set my FCB follow with the step, I found this problem:
Press the 8 button. The 8 button LED and green light will begin to blink. The display will change to show you the current MIDI channel for expression pedal A
Press the UP button once. The green light will move to MIDI Chann and the display digit will begin to blink. *(the display digit on my FCB didn't begin to blink, and it shows 16)
Press the 0 button and then the 1 button. This will change it to MIDI channel 1. The display should now show 01.
*(even I change this number to 01, after I finish this setting, I check this again, it still shows 16)
So, I'm wondering should I also do something on my FCB globe setting here?
Sorry lots of questions

Some other user has reported also that after fw update the volume pedal function has stopped working. I don't know if that has something to do with your issue.. Actually I haven't tried volume pedal after the update so I don't have exact knowledge about that at the moment :/

Hi! I don't know if you are in our FB group but Riccardo wrote this there: "CC# assigned to expression pedal is not changed but with the new firmware 5.0 the expression pedal can also control other fx parameter so you've simply to go to the VOLUME PEDAL slot in the preset, press ENTER, choose the PEDAL parameter and press ENTER for few seconds to assign the expression pedal to this parameter and then STORE the preset with this configuration pressing STORE in hold for few seconds."

Hi, Ceccez, really thank you, finally it works, after I long press the pedal parameter, my FCB expression pedal A is able to control the volume now, many thanks! You really help me a lot!
But another question is now how to set expression pedal B to control fx level in the same patch?

Jeah, awesome! Unfortunately I haven't got any clue how to do that.. Maybe somebody else knows that.. Have to try that myself tomorrow, but I don't know if that's even possible.
