Is there anything i can do to reduce switching time?

    Same typ of problem. Using a Zoom G92tt as a midi switch. Tried 3 diffrent cables, no diffrens. It seams the KPA needs some time to load the next program? Is there an optimal setting for KPA when you are using midi switching? /Hans J

    I don't see the point in peoples suggestions of seeing what the FCB1010 is sending, what can i do about it if its sending stuff it shouldn't be?


    Well, you could force the FCB to only send on 1 midi channel instead of 16, send only 1 CC instead of 2...
    It adds up, believe me.
    I'm surprised you rather invested in different cables( that don't carry sound) than to investigate the obvious.


    I have instant switching here with FCB/Uno4K

    The quality of the midi cable never has an impact to the speed.


    Unfortunately, someone advised him to do just that. I think this is an issue that could use a short video showing your settings on the FCB and demonstrating the problem. Your phone camera would suffice, since we're not looking for sound quality, just trying to see what's vexing you.


    OP, you have to understand, if it's sending multiple commands, that can have a lag effect. In this case, you need to figure out exactly what it is sending. It might not just be the programme change or CC changes that you think you are sending. Also, did you try to reset the FCB1010, as someone suggested?

    Thanks for help so far guys. In fact the midi cables were bought out of necessity and not just to investigate this issue, i was using 2 random old tiny midi cables and needed some decent quality ones for live shows.


    The settings on my FCB are what the uno4kemper chip sets as default, are there other settings in there somewhere that i can reset?

    Is there a way i can just set my FCB1010 to the correct settings without checking to see what its sending?


    No, I don't think so.
    If you're on Windows and if you have a midi interface you should install midi ox.
    Connect the FCB's midi out with the midi in of your interface. Open up midi ox.
    Then you press one switch on the FCB that is doing a PC and look on the monitoring window in midi ox what actually is sent.
    Then do the same for a CC sending switch.

    Whats the point in doing that if i cant fix it?

    You're not very familiar with bug hunting or narrow down a problem to find its cause, are you?
    Of course, it's always helpful to see what a device is doing. Sometimes it can easily switch a simple guess into certainty.
    If you actually see that the device sends only what it's supposed to send, then you know that no other MIDI controller on this very planet will solve the problem for you and the cause must be somewhere else. This is something you should do if you're interested in a solution.
    With MIDIOX you can even try other things like: When does the MIDI controller send a command? When you press a button or when you release it again? Even these small things can make a difference and they are easy to discover using such a tool.

    Chamelious, we all love you. But, for goodness' sake, read the answers you've been given! LOL


    The goal for checking your pedalboard's output has been explained more than once already. And yes, you can fix it.

    Hey dude.


    I've read people post about checking what the FCB is sending exactly multiple times, has anyone actually said what it SHOULD be sending and how to configure it so its just so? If so my apologies i must've missed it :)

    Here is the midiox log, i've pressed buttons 1 to 10, then down then up, then taken the mod pedal from tow to heel and back again, and then the same with volume:

    One question, because I'm kind of confused now:


    Your MIDIOX log shows you were sending PC commands from your FCB, but you seem to be in Performance mode on your Profiler.
    As far as I know (learned) the control of Performance slots is done using CC commands (e.g. CC #50-54 to directly address slots 1-5 of a performance).
    Did you change something on your FCB when you did the video (control in Performance mode)?
