UNO chip not working like it should! Need help FAST, gigs approaching!!!

  • Hey guys! Okay, here's the story...


    a little while back, i borrowed an FCB1010 with an UNO chip from a friend. It behaved wonderfully! It changed my patches in performance mode, i was able to turn effects on and off within the patch using the top row of buttons, and the volume/wah pedals worked great. I did several gigs with it and decided to get my own.


    So, i went on Ebay recently and bought an FCB1010 that was already modded with the UNO chip. I am playing some gigs on the Shiprocked cruise next week with my cover band, so i HAVE to have this footswitch working! I just tried out the FCB i bought, and some weird stuff is going on. i need help FAST, i'm hitting panic mode.


    For one, when i turn the FCB on, i get no notification on the face of the Kemper that says "UNO footboard connected!" or whatever its supposed to say. Nothing at all.


    In performance mode, i can use the bottom row to change between 5 different patches. That's good at least. The top row of buttons does NOT turn effects on and off, though; they all just throw me into patch #6, or a completely random different bank.


    The volume and wah pedals do nothing.


    I just opened the FCB up, disconnected the UNO chip, and then reconnected the UNO chip, just to make sure everything was connected like it should be. Same stuff is happening, though. I did the factory reset by holding 1 and 6 while starting the power up, and it didn't change anything.


    PLEASE help if you have any idea what this could be!!!

  • Also, the chip inside says: Uno1.0.2F
    I've seen a lot of confusion since there's Uno and also UnoForKemper and all that jazz. I'm really confused.

  • You seem to have a 'normal' UnO.
    This is not bad at all, only not plug & play like the UnO 4 Kemper. The UnO must be programmed to your needs but it is very powerful.
    I advise you to download the editor from http://www.lg-fcb.com (called control center) which costs a few bucks but makes programming the UnO very easy.

  • There are also other Uno editors, in case you don't want to spend money on editor. Personaly I did not find any feature in paid editor, that could not be done with the free editor. True is that I did not compare all possible features, only basic programming. Maybe Ingolf can tell us more about this. ;)


    So this is editor I currently use: http://ripwerxcom.ipage.com/GettingStarted.html

    Yes, there are other editors which I also used in the past. I liked the control center best for its graphics and therefore intuitiveness.
    And I remember it was cheap. :)
