Using the Behringer FCB1010 - Help Wanted!

Is your FCB 1010 just a plain one, or have you installed a custom chip like the Uno or Uno4Kemper? The regular FCB is notoriously complicated to program, but $40 for an Uno4Kemper chip will do what you want right out of the box.

It makes the FCB a plug and play solution that is very easy to configure.

Yes, i'm using the UnO4Kemper. Installation is easy, just take off the FCBs bottom cover, take out original eprom, install new. Done. Very little configuration needed, so you're up and running pretty fast.

Programming the FCB without the UnO is a PITA.
For use with the profiler really the uno4k chip is recommended.

Just make sure you order the right one: Uno4Kemper, not Uno (which is made by the same people).

The Uno4Kemper chip is made specifically for the Kemper and turns the FCB1010 into a plug-and-play dedicated foot controller, whereas the Uno chip still requires programming.

Yep, that's the one. Cool huh!

Is it the chip for 16€ ? Is it really that cheap??? O.o

Yes. It's a bargain for what it offers.

mega easy and you can tweak it for your needs.. I combine mine with a Boss FS-6 to add more control over my stomps..

Hey people, what's your opinion about the Eureka chip? It's strange it's so less popular than U4K, it seems even more versatile, at the cost of some more few programming... Opinios?

I think the Eureka prom is a good solution.
As UnO4K is from Europe it#s more popular in Europe that's all.
Add to this the fact that Xavier was the first to come out with a tailor-made eprom conceived together with the mothership.

Well, the U4K is definitely cheaper, almost the half of the price of the eureka for europeans, so that would explain some of the difference in popularity, plus what ingolf said about it being produced in europe and being the pioneer and stuff...
Its probably the best solution for a lot of people too, especially if they want somethin to just plug n play. However the reason I personally went for the eureka is that it is just vastly more versatile and customizable, not only for use with the KPA, but also with other MIDI gear. With the Eureka you can still use your FCB with (or even in combination with) other gear. That's a major point for me

Thanks guys, now I've clearer ideas on the matter
