Behringer fcb1010 and TC electronic G sharp

[mattisfrommars]

Ok, I bought these pieces of gear over christmas and I'm yet to get them working.

At the minute I dont care about any of the fancy features that either piece of gear can do, I just want to be able to switch between 3/4 patches and get the gear working well enough to justify the (for me anyway) massive expense.

I tried again today, doing a factory reset on both before i started.

First i stored some patches on the g sharp. Connected the 1010 (Midi out on the pedal to midi in on the tc, I did the "idiot check")

As I understand it (manuals have a way of leaving me more confused after reading than before) when you change preset on the behringer it sends a program change. When the G sharp receives a program change it changes preset... Right?

After a factory reset both are supposed to be using MIDI channel 1 (changing the g sharp to omni didn't help)

And still, absolutely nothing happens when i press any buttons on the behringer.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

You have to dig into the fcb manual I think, might not be as simple as factory setting on both devices.

I just bought the g-switch couse i don't need ale the fancy switching, just preset up/down and bypass.

Dude, go on the TC Electronic forums, there is lots of stuff directed towards using the FCB1010 on thier stuff. You have to do some silly programming on it to get it to work.

OK, gone over it and over it and I'm 99% sure that I've set everything up correctly. I can never be 100% sure I set anything up correctly but it seems ok to me.

I think it's a problem with the equipment, the MIDI cable I'm using is brand new, but i guess it could be a dud..

Do you have a MIDI interface for your computer you can use to verify that the Behringer is outputting MIDI? If so, grab a copy of this program for monitoring/analysing MIDI.

good luck

I have a midi interface, is there a version of that program (or a similar one) for osx?

I haven't used this program but I saw someone recommend MIDI Monitor as a MIDI Ox alternative for OSX

I'm curious, maybe i'll borrow my wife's Mac later and try it out.
