Yamaha MFC

blitzkidz · Jun 26th 2013

Well, I recommend the Yamaha MFC 10! With this pedal you can choose upper and lower row for programm changes and via pressing the function button (also a footswitch) you get 10 CC buttons. Or you can switch to - upper row - CC and lower row for PC. It´s very, very easy to programm this pedal.

Also you can use the internal pedal (of cousre ) and there´s an option to connect 4 additional pedals or footswitches!!

I don´t need the option to tune my guitar via the foot controller. I prefer the big Display on my KPA Rack
It´s absolutely reliable and I don´t need a UnO update or anything else.

For me my perfect friend to tame my KPA

Thanks blitzkid,

it's always interesting to get to know new devices and their possibilities

How sturdy are those buttons/foot switches?

troynova · Jun 27th 2013

At twice the price of the FCB1010 I don't see much value.

I don´t care about sturdiness anymore! I got three of them (Live, rehearsal and studio) an they working perfect for almost ages! I prefer the MFC because it doesn´t need a eprom change, it´s very relieable, very easy to use and to programm, and you can add 4 exp.pedals or footswichtes.
But I guess the Berhinger FCB is quite good also! A matter of taste, isn´t it

Used prices on these are attractive - look at completed eBay auctions.

If they are easy to program, and have that much versatility, they could be a really good deal.

When the controller is capable of sending CC's it's easy to get this working.

The owners manual can be downloaded from this page:

ich habe einen Yamaha MFC10 gekauft, ist es kompliziert die CCs einzustellen?, ich habe die Bedienungsanleitung angesehen und ich verstehe nur Bahnhof ,
hast Du ein Tipp für mich wie ich es mache, mein Board kommt am Samstag mit der Post und ich will so schnell wie möglich an KPA anschließen und rocken...

Ingolf · Sep 12th 2014

Erstmal ankommen lassen, dann Schritt für Schritt weitersehen...

In the reference manual, there's a section that details what CC# corresponds to what on the Kemper. Just keep that manual open as you programme your board.

jbervel · Sep 20th 2014

Sorry man , i try but i don't understand , can you explain me please !
for example:
I need the button F6 for the stomp B, F7 for C ,...............etc

As mentioned in my PM reply to you:
Hey, what I meant is, if you want to send a message from a certain stomp, you'll have to go into the appropriate menu for that stomp in your midi controller, select the channel you want to send a CC message on, select the CC number you want to send. For example:
#17 Stomp A on/off
#18 Stomp B on/off
#19 Stomp C on/off
#20 Stomp D on/off
#22 Effect slot X on/off
#24 MOD on/off

You need to send that CC message on the appropriate channel to the Kemper and it will turn on/off a stomp. Go to page 89 of the Kemper reference manual for all the details about CC numbers and the corresponding effect. And read your Yamaha midi controller's manual to figure out how to navigate to the appropriate system menu. I don't have one of those units, so I have no idea what buttons you have to press
