Also, that this board is inexpensive, comparably, for all of the features you get. What I didn't know is that the stock firmware works just fine for my application, which is Ableton Live 9 and multiple guitar VST's. I ordered this board here, on 8-31-2015, I received the new model with stock FCB1010 Firmware version 2.5.1e, as confirmed by the free PC utility, FCBEditor. I spent a lot of time looking at the UnO and Eureka eproms. I may still get one of those at some point but, for now I've been able to get Guitar Rig 5 and Overloud TH2 working perfectly, with stock FCB firmware, Ableton Live 9 and with a Scarlett Focusrite 6i6 controller. Here is a must have utility for PC users: this free utility will allow you to program your FCB1010 without all of the pedal pushing on the board itself: http://host.mtnsys.com:81/faq-fcb/PCEditorBeta.htm - If that link is not working, search for - PC Editor FCB1010. It is pointless to try and program the FCB1010 from the pedals, when this utility gets it done much easier and faster. I use this with Windows 7 x64 and can't speak for other OS's. It's good to have two MIDI cables, in/out, for programming. Buy two if you have none, as the FCB1010 doesn't come with any. If you can't get the FCB1010 working with your VST's in Ableton: 1. Insert a blank MIDI track 2. Set the input of the MIDI track to the MIDI receiver for your FCB1010 - in my case Scarlett Focusrite 6i6 3. Set the output of the MIDI track to the separate audio track that contains the guitar VST you want to pass MIDI control to - in my case Guitar Rig 5 4. Set the MIDI track to IN - not Auto or OFF 5. Make sure the track that contains your VST audio track is armed/record lit up on track - Guitar Rig 5 track, record button lit 6. Tap dance your way through 100 amps - 10 banks*10 presets There are multiple youtube videos that will help you figure out assigning the expression pedals.CC# 7 for volume and CC#11 for wah is pretty standard. I'm not going to say this was an easy task, it took me 15+ hours to get things right, mostly because of old and outdated info and software out there on the web, but this was a very rewarding experience. I learned a lot that can be applied in many different ways. There are also a lot of useful mods out there, like powering the FCB1010 over the same MIDI cable, so you can have just one cable running to this board. And some more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8m0v3Rr6f4U If you like a challenge and the satisfaction of being able to control any part of your VST's or DAW with your feet, you need the FCB1010. Review: Proper setup takes time. - Running iFCB with Mainstage. At first I found it a really clunky to program, but then I did some googling and got the iFCB software, which made programming 1000x better/quicker/easier. That said, it still takes some effort to program and isn't going to be plug and play with almost anything. I don't like that it sends MIDI program changes (instead of control changes) by default, which is why many MIDI noobs will hate it, and another reason I got iFCB. It takes work to program it the way you like it, just like any other midi controller, and it works great as a guitar effects controller without the stompbox chip mods (unless you really want the lights to toggle). Once I got it programmed in iFCB to control parameters that make sense and dont conflict with my other devices, it went into a Mainstage show, it has been super stable and consistent. The overall build quality is much better than I expected from a Behringer product. I feel like the expression pedals are pretty flimsy feeling and I don't like that I have to hit a switch to activate effects, instead of there being a click switch on the top like a wah pedal. All-in-all, this thing is a great bargain and I would recommend it. ## Features - 10 banks with 10 user-editable presets each - Two expression pedals with freely assignable MIDI channel, controller number and range - Five MIDI program change and two MIDI controller commands per preset (simultaneously transmittable) - MIDI note-on commands transmittable for trigger and tap-tempo applications - Two programmable relay-controlled switch jacks, e.g. for amp channel selection ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000CZ0RK6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #17,758 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #62 in Computer Recording MIDI Controllers | | Brand | Behringer | | Brand Name | Behringer | | Color | Slvr/Blk | | Connector Type | IEC Connector | | Controls Type | Footswitch | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 550 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00736211578846 | | Hand Orientation | Behringer | | Hardware Interface | 3.5mm Audio | | Included Components | not included | | Item Dimensions | 27.05 x 8.7 x 2.36 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 27.01"L x 8.7"W x 2.4"H | | Item Type Name | Behringer | | Manufacturer | Behringer USA | | Manufacturer Part Number | P0089 | | Model Name | FCB1010 | | Model Number | FCB1010 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Dimensions | 27.01"L x 8.7"W x 2.4"H | | Set Name | 10 banks of 10 presets | | Signal Format | Digital（MIDIοΌ‰ | | Style | Controller | | UPC | 736211578846 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Please refer to http://www.

Here's an example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2K2VnFPkIw **Q: Does this work with USB?** A: There is no USB port on the back however that does not mean that it will not work with USB. When I used it with my computer I used an M-Audio USB Midisport Uno interface.http://www.amazon.com/M-Audio-Midisport-Uno-MIDI-Interface/dp/B00007JRBM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1443972414&sr=8-1&keywords=m-audio+unoI hope this helps out. **Q: I want to use this with Mainstage. can the cc signals be assigned with learn mode?** A: There are several editor programs online but no learn mode to speak of. I use mine to control our stage lighting. The editor programs work great. Just click on which switch/pedal you want to assign to it then send it to the pedal. For music I use my Keith McMillan 12 step since it is chromatic. I am playing bass in my current band so I have my 12 step controlling a midi loop of a moog minitaur, a micro korg xl, and a korg dw8000 from the early 80s. In other words a Geddy Lee, Rush sorta setup. The beg ringer has 10 switches and two exp pedals. They could have put two more switches on it so you could set it up for a full octave without switching banks. Okay sorry for rambling but how are you intending on using yours?? **Q: I am looking for a foot pedal to control a hardware synthesizer via MIDI during live performance, how sturdy is this unit for touring?** A: I use the FCB1010 as virtual pipe organ expression pedals and preset voice controls. Therefore the unit is never moved. I have not had any problems. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly what I was looking for. *by J***B on September 4, 2015* I had read the reviews and knew what I was getting in to when I purchased this controller: it was going to be a crash course in MIDI programming and difficult for a beginner.

Something was obviously broken inside the case of the unit (could hear something that sounded like a tic tac rolling around inside it) and there was a missing screw on the back panel. Indicators that someone had opened it up and messed around with the hardware. Needless to say, the controller didn't work at all. Not sure how something like this was sold to me, but GearNuts made it right! The refund/return process was quick and easy, and I decided to take another chance by ordering a new (non-used) fcb1010. I'm so glad I did! This midi controller works flawlessly! I'm very happy with the new unit! ## Frequently Bought Together - Behringer FCB1010 MIDI Foot Controller - Monoprice MIDI Cable - 5 Pin DIN Connectors, Shielded, Molded Connector Shells, 28 AWG, 10 Feet, Black - Cable Matters 2-Pack 5 Pin DIN MIDI Cable, 5 Pin MIDI Cable - 6 Feet --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/809734-behringer-fcb1010-ultra-flexible-midi-foot-controller-with-2-expression](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/809734-behringer-fcb1010-ultra-flexible-midi-foot-controller-with-2-expression) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-09-03*
