Hi there,
Thanks to Santa Claus' help, I have the possibility to buy some hardware
to make music with my linux box.
Looking for a MIDI foot controller, I found the Behringer FCB1010.
http://www.behringer.com/FCB1010/index.cfm?lang=ENG
I'd like to use it for two things:
* Real time effect control (creox, jack-rack, pd a bit later, stuffs
like that). I'm a guitar player and I'd like to use my linux box as an
effect rack. I'll use sooperlooper too, for sure...
* I'm planning to buy a MIDI master keyboard (the M-Audio Keystation Pro
88 looks awsome and it seems to work like a charm with ALSA). I'd like
to use the MIDI foot controller to control the keyboard too.
I found very few FCB1010/Linux feedback on the web (and in the list's
archives). I'm interested in hearing from people who have this pedal.
Some successful linux experiences?
More generally speaking, does it all sound feasible? I mean, will
combining the FCB1010 and the M-Audio Keystation Pro 88 fit my needs
(real time effects/looper control + basic mixing possibilitie expected
from a master keyboard, a bunch of controls and a midi sequencer)?
Cheers,
Olivier

the FCB1010 works perfectly with linux - its a purely MIDI technology. I
use it with sooperlooper and to provide foot controls for my 2 h/w
synthesizers.
my only bad experience was plugging my first FCB1010 into a socket in
rotterdam. even though it has an IEC power socket, it absolutely is not
equipped with a universal power supply. a large hum/buzz later, and my
investment was destroyed by twice the voltage it was designed for :(
do read the manual *very* carefully, even if you think you know all
about what it does. i spent a long night getting more and more confused
because i thought i already knew what it did; i was wrong. it did the
right thing, but a little differently from my mental model.

If you have a FCB1010 with the old fimware, Behringer will send you a
free new eprom with Firmware ver 2.2. Just write an email to the
Behringer costumer support.
A Editor Software for the FCB1010:
i just making some experiments with the windows based "PC Editor for
FCB101" under wine. I have on my openSUSE box latest wine (0.9.2) and
winetools installed and it works fine.
http://www.mtnsys.com/faq-fcb/PCEditor.htm
You need to have midi support with wine, so the PC Editor for FCB1010
can send and receive the sysex created the simple way. For this editor
the FCB1010 Firmware ver 2.2 is needed.
Regards
Michael
