For them to do the additional programming would be simple. It still amazes me that these companies go to all the trouble to design and manufacture a midi footpedal controller and don't bother to implement 95% of the available midi commands.
#PLAY A MIDI NOTE NUMBER MOD#
Also if anyone can A: sell me a Digitech PMC-10 / MIDI Mitigator or B: mod the FCB1010 for me please let me know. If anyone has any other thoughts on the matter I would love to hear about it. While the final out come is what I'm looking for I'm not sure I have the tools or ability to preform such a mod. I joined the Yahoo group you suggested Buckly and had a look at the mod jobs. I'm still searching for an alternative but it's starting to look like the FCB1010 is going to be my best option. An extensive google search has me thinking this might be a difficult item to find. They replied that the only pedal they have ever produced that sends midi note-on messages is the PMC-10. I also emailed Digitect regarding their discontinued RP1 and RP10 pedals as someone suggested they might work. According to tech support, none of their products are capable of sending note-on. I emailed Rocktron and asked about the midi note-on capability of their pedals.
#PLAY A MIDI NOTE NUMBER PLUS#
The event processor plus is a possible solution but would still leave many of the light controller functions not accessible from the footswitch. The midiSolutions event processor can be programed to send 10 different midi note-on commands (32 with the event processor plus). This would not work as I would only be able to access one function on the light controller.
Thanks for all the input guys! As I understand it the midiSolutions foot switch controller can be programed to send only one midi note-on message. Bob uses a shrunken FCB1010 along with a LANBox to control his band's lighting rig from onstage. Chellist and looper Zoe Keating had one made modified by Bob Charest, and I'm sure theres a picture of it on the web, but I've failed to find it. Sad that these vanished, one of the best foot controllers ever made.Įditied to note - I think the DIgitech PMC-10 can do this too - another discontinued beauty.Įdited to note: You can make the FCB1010 smaller by attacking it with metalworking tools. If you can find a MIDI Mitigator, it definitely does. I have a Midi Mate, and am pretty sure it cant send note on/offs. If anyone can shed some light on this and maybe list out a few pedals that do support note on commands I would really appreciate it. Although if there are no other options that might be the route I go. I also have heard of the Midi Solutions Event Processor but don't like the idea of shelling out for it AND a pedal. Some other pedals that look promising are the G Lab and ENGL but I haven't discerned it they have midi note capability yet. If anyone can confirm that the Rocktron can send note commands please let me know.
#PLAY A MIDI NOTE NUMBER MANUALS#
Unfortunate I haven't been able to find confirmation in the manuals or anywhere online that they can. I've found another two (Rocktron Midi Mate and Tech21 Midi Moose) which would be perfect for my situation if they do indeed send midi note on. I've heard the Yamaha MFC10 and Roland FC300 can possibly do it but again they are large pedals with useless expression pedals. As I understand it the Behringer FCB1010 can send midi note but I'd like to find another option as it's the size of a battleship and the expression pedals would be useless in my application.
I'm trying to figure out my options for footswitches that can send midi note-on commands and not just the standard program and control changes.
