What's New in FCBFF

1.1

October 22, 2022

The iPad version now supports slide-over and side-by-side modes, making it easy to configure an FCB1010 to control iOS apps. Whether it's with MIDI learn, or using a fixed MIDI assignment for an app, you can customize your FCB1010 quickly and easily. FCBFF now supports external Bluetooth keyboards; use an ordinary QWERTY keyboard as a virtual FCB1010. Key presses trigger the emulator pads, which can in turn generate MIDI events. All of the features of the FCB1010 are available; with a QWERTY keyboard on a music stand, you don't need to bring your FCB1010 gear with you everywhere. File import and export has been improved; easily transfer configurations using AirDrop, rename files, duplicate files, and more. On the app support page at Secret Base Design, there are new demo videos showing how to get the most out of the app and your FCB1010.

This is a Must Have for FCB1010 Owners

This utility is incredibly important if you have the FCB. It makes quick work of programming the pedal in with a very easy to understand GUI. What’s even better is that you can control your MIDI devices right from the app itself!!

Must buy if you fulfill the specs.

Be careful and read the description as this works ( apparently ) only with the stock Behringer chip at v2.3 .

I have that model and had NO LUCK using software on my computer to create my setup. Ironically, I ended up finding an iOS solution which is ideal for me as it’s intended use IS to manipulate my iPhone.

Fantastic app. Thanks devs.

Works as Intended

Used my iPhone and a camera connector (through an audio interface) to program the FCB1010 for use in Logic and Mainstage. $ well spent.

Finally got it working

Originally couldn’t upload to FCB1010, would be cool if it worked properly, huge disappointment.
UPDATE: Customer service sent me an email within about an hour, explained to me that on the upper left-hand side there is a button for midi which is the interface that you’re sending the information from the iPad to the FCB 1010 and you have to make sure that it is turned on. The thing to remember is that when you click on the interface name if it is in a red lettering it is turned off and black lettering means it is turned on, otherwise this thing works great and saves a whole bunch a time programming this thing. Kudos to the developer for getting back to me and a timely manner and actually fixing the problem, well done!

Weak

What irritates me is the outright fabrication in which the app creators claim that if you’re new to midi or the FCB, that’s no problem, because step by step instructions show you the way! Why they had no qualms about lying like this, can only be for the fact that it would dupe people like me into blowing their money on this. The ONLY step by step instructions are for how to download and upload settings to and from the fcb. That’s it. No help menu, no tutorials, nothing whatsoever. If you’re not already intimately familiar with midi, save your money and stay away.
