Nevermind--I just needed to recalibrate the expression pedals. One should be aware however that the Volume control will only control the relative volume level of the loop and that the Mix knob on the front panel is an analog control, so if your mix is set to all direct, then you won't hear any of the loop regardless of the Volume setting on the expression pedal. So, the current quick guide to programming the Behringer for use with the EDP currently looks like this: ***************** Programming the patch buttons to send MIDI notes: 1. Turn on the Behringer FCB1010 and the Echoplex. Connect the MIDI out jack to the MIDI In jack on the Echoplex. Make sure the EDP MIDI Control Source parameter is set to "not" (for "note") and that both devices are set to the same MIDI channel. 2. Select the bank and patch you wish to edit with the UP and DOWN buttons. 3. Enter Edit mode by pressing the DOWN button for 3 seconds, or until the two-digit bank indicator goes off and the first green LED under Preset Configuration starts blinking. 4. Press the UP/Enter button. 5. Some the program button LEDs may now be lit, depending on what's already been stored in the patch either at the factory or by you or whoever you bought the FCB from. You want to clear all that out so that you're not sending a bunch of unwanted MIDI data. Often, the 1, 8 and 9 buttons will be "on" in a factory preset. You want to turn those off, so hold down each button until the LED turns off. This takes about two seconds. 6. Once all the program button LEDs are off, hold down the 0 button until its LED comes on. This indicates that you're going to be editing the MIDI note which is going to be sent by this patch. 7. Press the 0 button again. Its LED should now be blinking. 8. Press the UP/Enter button. The Select LED should turn off, the Number LED should turn on and the two-digit display should now be on and displaying "00" with the second "0" flashing. 9. Now you can enter the MIDI note number that you want transmitted. For example, the Record function is triggered by a note number of 38. Use the program buttons (the 0-9 buttons) to enter the note value. 10. When you've got the desired note value showing on the three-digit display, press the UP/Enter button. The three-digit display will turn off, the 0 button LED will go to steady on, the Number LED will go off, and the Select LED will go steady on. 11. If you're finished editing that patch, hold down the DOWN button for three seconds or until three-digit display comes back on displaying the current bank. At that point, you're in the "ready to use" mode, and if you press the patch button you've just edited you should see the EDP respond in the desired manner. The note values for the EFC-7 button equivalents are as follows: 38 RecordButton 39 OverdubButton 40 MultiplyButton 41 InsertButton 42 MuteButton 43 UndoButton 44 NextButton For a more complete list of all the available MIDI commands, refer to the manual or the spreadsheet here: http://www.loopers-delight.com/tools/echoplex/PLEX_MIDI_COMMANDS.zip Programming an expression pedal to control loop Volume 1.. Press the PRESET button (e.g., whatever you use to trigger Record on your EDP) for which you want to program either expression pedal A or B for volume 2.. Press and hold down the DOWN switch 3.. Press the UP switch 4.. Press button 8 or 9 (Expression Pedal A or B), whatever you want to use to control volume 5.. Press UP to confirm 6.. Use Expression Pedal A to set your controller value for that expression pedal (use what is set in the EDP control panel in VolumeCont) 7.. Press UP to confirm 8.. Use Express Pedal A to set the minimum value (e.g. 0) 9.. Press UP to confirm 10.. Use Expression Pedal A to set the maximum volume value (e.g., 127) 11.. Press UP to confirm 12.. Press and hold the Down button to Exit Repeat steps 1-12 for other PRESET buttons (whatever you use for Overdub, Multiply, Reverse, etc.whatever button you want associated with that volume change function when that button is lit up Programming an expression pedal to control loop Feedback 1. Press the PRESET button (e.g., whatever button you use to trigger Record on your EDP) for which you want to program either expression pedal A or B for feedback 2. Press and hold down the DOWN switch 3. Press the UP switch 4. Press button 8 or 9 (Expression Pedal A or B), whatever you want to use to control feedback 5. Press UP to confirm 6. Use Expression Pedal A to set your controller value (use what is set in the EDP control panel in FeedBkCont) 7. Press UP to confirm 8. Use Express Pedal A to set the minimum value (e.g. I use 106 to set a gradual fade-out of my loops when I pull the expression pedal all the way back) 9. Press UP to confirm 10. Use Expression Pedal A to set the maximum volume value (e.g., 127) 11. Press UP to confirm 12. Press and hold the Down button to Exit Repeat steps 1-12 for other PRESET buttons (those you use for Overdub, Multiply, Reverse, etc.whatever button you want associated with that feedback change function when that button is lit up Calibrating the expression pedals: Many units ship with the exprssion pedals not correctly calibrated. This requires that you perform a manual calibration before the pedals will work correctly. The following procedure was provided by Behringer: 1. Keep footswitches 1 and 3 pressed while switching on the unit (This bit you can't do standing up!). Release the switches when the display blanks. The LEDs on the footswitches, the ones on the display and each segment of the two numeric displays will turn on and off in sequence. 2. Wait until all footswitch LEDs are on. Depress all footswitches one at a time, including UP and DOWN, until all LEDs are off. 3. Wait until relay switch test is finished. (There will be a couple of mechanical clicks, and the display will end up reading "F1" (at least, it did on mine)). [Also, if you have connected a MIDI cable between the MIDI in and out, the display will show "A1" before this, meaning the midi ports work correctly.] 4. Press DOWN once. 5. Adjust the left expression pedal (A) to the lowest value (heel down). Once adjusted press UP. 6. Adjust the left expression pedal (A) to the highest value (toe down). Once adjusted press UP. 7. Adjust the right expression pedal (B) to the lowest value (heel down). Once adjusted press UP. 8. Adjust the right expression pedal (B) to the highest value (toe down). Once adjusted press UP. 9. Select a patch which has both pedals set to their full range, and check the expression pedals now send 0-127 (0x00-0x7F) On 10/30/05, Travis Hartnett <travishartnett@gmail.com> wrote: > Nope that didn't work for me.
