MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER FCB1010
1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! With the BEHRINGER MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER FCB1010 you purchased an ultra-flexible
controller unit for a wide range of applications, whether you are a guitarist, keyboard player or studio engineer:
10 BANKS with 10 PRESETS each and two fully user-programmable expression pedals will give you enough
flexibility to manage your MIDI equipment. Guitar players will particularly appreciate the option of selecting
channels using two analog SWITCHES, as they allow you to fully control both amplifier and effects from one
switching center. And with its ultra-rugged enclosure and built-in power supply the FCB1010 is absolutely
ready for the road, too. The easy-to-use programming interface gives you fun instead of frustration, and invites
you to fully exploit the capabilities of your MIDI equipment.
+ The operating instructions given in this manual will introduce you to the FCB1010 and the host
of functions it offers. After reading the manual carefully, please keep it on hand for future
reference.
1.1 Design concept
The philosophy behind BEHRINGER products guarantees a no-compromise circuit design and employs only
the best components. To complement this design the choice of components includes high-tolerance resistors
and capacitors, switches and several other stringently selected elements.
The FCB1010 was built on the basis of SMD technology (Surface Mounted Device). These sub-miniature
components known from aerospace technology allow for an extreme packing density and enhance the units
reliability. Additionally, the FCB1010 was manufactured in compliance with BEHRINGERs stringent quality
control.
1.2 Before you begin
Your FCB1010 was carefully packed in the factory and the packaging is designed to protect the unit from rough
handling. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the packaging and its contents for any
signs of physical damage, which may have occurred during transit.
+ If the unit is damaged, please do not return it to BEHRINGER, but notify your dealer and the
shipping company immediately, otherwise claims for damage or replacement may not be
granted. Shipping claims must be made by the consignee.
+ Before you connect your FCB1010 to the mains, please make sure that your local voltage
matches the voltage required by the unit:
Three triangular markings can be found on the fuse holder at the AC power connection socket. Two of these
three triangles will be aligned with one another. The FCB1010 is set to the operating voltage shown next to
these markings and can be switched over by twisting the fuse holder by 180°. IMPORTANT: This does not
apply to export models designed only for 115 V AC!
The mains connection is made by using the enclosed mains cable and a standard IEC receptacle. It meets all
of the international safety certification requirements.
+ Please make sure that all units have a proper ground connection. For your own safety, never
remove or disable the ground connector of the unit or of the AC power cable.
MIDI connections (IN and OUT/THRU) are made using standard DIN connectors, the corresponding data are
transmitted via potential-free opto-couplers. The two switching outputs use relay contacts for galvanic separation
and are connected via stereo phone jack cables.
Please see chapters 3 INSTALLATION and 4.1 MIDI Connections for further details.
