First time using midi foot controller !


Hey dudes



Im thinking of investing on a midi foot controller to use with my rack setup.

It will be controlling an ADA MP1 3TM and G MAJOR effects unit.
No idea how to set this up , but sofar the best board for the money seems to be the behringer FCB1010 , with 2 assignable wah/vol pedals .

Any of you guys had any experience with this unit? I dont want a pedalboard setup, ie , distortion onoff/compressor onoff/ flanger onoff etc , id like to have it setup so that each numbered pedal is changes patch entirely , ie 1= rythmn distortion bit of reverb , 2 lead distortion delay and reverb 3 = clean chorus and reverb etc.
Also , how many midi leads would i need? i assume its Floorboard>ada midi in>adamidi out> gmaj midi in ?

Confuuuused!!

Yep, 2 midi cables, one long and one short
the idea is to assign each unit to a number e.g. ADA is unit 1 and G-Major is unit 2. Once that's assigned, you have to program the midi board to do patch changes, which is what you just described. It's a matter of assigning the footcontroller's "patch" to change a certain unit's patch. For example:
FC patch 1 = ADA patch #1 [distortion] + G-Major patch #15 [delays]
FC patch 2 = ADA patch #2 [clean] + G-Major patch #3[delay + reverb]
FC patch 3 = ADA patch #25 [hi-gain] + G-Major patch #100[delay + Midi assigned CC for delay rate]

For the expression pedals to work from one device to the other, you have to assign a CC on the pedal and the unit. Essentially, the idea is to have Expression Pedal 1(CC 1) "linked" to a parameter in the G-Major e.g. Delay rate or something else[refer to Mod Assigners]
hopefully ya get the gist
