Line 1,392: Line 1,392:     
The upshot is that this driver allows me to lay down my backing bass and chord track at the beginning of the song, then play this throughout while doing the melody and solos. I think it will work for just about any jazz standard without having to adjust the default 43 second loop length, since four loops (loops 2-5) covers a lot. I can do all of this in real time because each action is done by just one pedal. It’s intuitive because I just hit the pedal assigned to the verse or chorus I want to play and it triggers from the start exactly on the quantized beat.

===Configure the Behringer FCB1010===
 +
 +
Here’s how to configure the FCB1010, assuming starting from FCB1010’s factory default:
 +
 +
* Select the pedal you want to program (e.g., 1).
 +
* Long press the Down button (2-3 seconds) to put the pedal in programming mode.
 +
* Short press the Up button.
 +
* By default, “1” is lit, indicating that the pedal is sending a program change. We need it to send a control change (“6”).
 +
* Long press “1” (program change) until it is unlit.
 +
* Long press “6” (control change) until it is lit.
 +
* Short press “6” to program the control change. “6” will start blinking.
 +
* Press Up.
 +
* Enter the CC number you want to set for the pedal. For example, in this ctrldev, I map Pedal 1 to CC 15. Numbers are entered by clicking the pedal numbers in order (e.g., “1” and “5”). The numbers will appear in the LED screen.
 +
* Press Up.
 +
* Enter the value you want to send for the CC. I enter “127” for every control (e.g., “1”, “2”, “7”).
 +
* Press Up. “6” stops blinking and is solidly lit. The pedal is now programmed.
 +
* Long press Down to exit programming mode.
 +
* Repeat 1-13 for each pedal (e.g., Pedal 2 = CC 16, etc.).
