@warchild1976 you can manually program the FCB1010 but I found there is software out there that will do all that for you which is MUCH easier. I have a Mac and use iFCB which is pretty inexpensive. If you have a PC I think there are a few options out there. iFCB comes with an Ableton-specific settings group.

@sonicmaiky I'm using an Edirol FA66 for my audio interface which is a firewire connect and it has a pretty low latency. It's next to impossible to completely eliminate latency when you're running through a computer, you just have to get the best interface and computer RAM you can afford.

Hello Jeremy. Great loop.
Wanted to ask, what sound card do you use and do you think is it possible to illuminate letancy
in MIDI or Audio without quality loose?
is it possible to switch to other presets or banks on fcb1010 while playing in ableton live set? ... or you have only 10 different channels to trigger functions in set?

@WAYSIDEDRIVE i wasn't precise enough before so i'll ask again to be sure... in ONE live set you can use 1000 different channels (10 banks with 10 presets with 10 chanels)?

@benogec I'm not really a MIDI guy so I'm not sure exactly the channel use specifically. I just know each of the 10 pedals can be programmed to a specific MIDI control # and with 10 banks that should give you 100 different functions you can perform within a single Ableton Live set.

@WAYSIDEDRIVE Aha. Just one thing more - can you assign expression pedals too and can you assign them for every bank invidually or are they global - same for all banks? Thank you very much and I wish you all the best in your music career!

@benogec yes and yes! You can assign them as well and have different assignments for each bank which is REALLY nice. So in Bank 1 Exp A could be master volume and Exp B could be guitar volume and in Bank 2 Exp A could be synth volume and Exp B could be a setting on the synth, and so on and so on for each back. And thanks!
