2. PROGRAMMING THE FCB1010
In this chapter you will learn to program your FCB1010 and adapt it to your specific MIDI
2.1 Selecting BANKS and PRESETS
There are two options to select a BANK and the PRESETS it contains. Which one you use depends on the DIRECT SELECT parameter in the GLOBAL CONFIGURATION menu. If DIRECT SELECT is on, you can use the PRESET footswitches to directly select the BANK number followed by the PRESET number. If DIRECT SELECT is off, you need to step through the various BANKS (using the UP/DOWN switches), then select a PRESET from a bank. The default setting is OFF. The illustrations below show the two options.
2.1.1 DIRECT SELECT deactivated
Let’s assume you wish to select PRESET #1 from BANK #3...
Step 1
Use the UP/DOWN switches to go to the BANK that contains the PRESET of your choice (here: BANK #3).
Step 2:
Select the PRESET you wish to use (here: PRESET #1).
