1. Introduction<br />
The <strong>FCB</strong>/UnO Control Center is an editor for the <strong>FCB</strong>1010, equipped with Behringer firmware or with<br />
UnO firmware. (All versions are supported, but see one remark about UnO feature compatibility on<br />
page 9.)<br />
The application allows you to create and manage <strong>FCB</strong>1010 setups, download them to the <strong>FCB</strong>1010,<br />
or upload existing setups from <strong>FCB</strong>1010 to computer for backup. It also has a built-in simulator which<br />
shows you the expected MIDI output for each key press or pedal movement. The editor doesn’t send<br />
any MIDI messages on its own (it’s not a “virtual <strong>FCB</strong>”), but it does have a window to view incoming<br />
MIDI messages sent by the <strong>FCB</strong>1010. This way, actual MIDI output from the floorboard can be easily<br />
compared with simulated output from the editor.<br />
Two separate versions of the <strong>FCB</strong> /UnO Control Center have been created, one for Windows, one for<br />
Mac. Each of these versions uses methods native to the operating system for accessing the MIDI<br />
hardware. This turns out to be the most reliable approach.<br />
The <strong>FCB</strong>/UnO ControlCenter, when used along with UnO firmware v.1.0.3, introduces an improved<br />
communication protocol for talking to the <strong>FCB</strong>1010. This should make a wider range of MIDI-USB<br />
interfaces usable for programming the <strong>FCB</strong>1010. More details about this in a later chapter.<br />
