Hi Don,,

The Behringer FCB1010 MIDI Foot Controller is, as the name implies, a MIDI controller so sure it would work. You would need a MIDI Merge box so the accordion and the FCB1010 could both transmit data to the Genesys XP. However you couldn’t use the normal pedal assignment functions of the Genesys from the Pedal and Controllers edit screens. Instead you would have to program the FCB1010 for each function of the Genesys that you wish to control. This isn't necessarily hard to do, but is definitely time intensive and requires a good working knowledge of MIDI in regards to assigning MCC (MIDI Continuous Controller) data, etc. Plus then you are relying on a second piece of gear and its memory to store your settings. Of course you could do a MIDI SyEx dump from the FCB1010 into the Genesys and store the file to the Genesys hard drive or even burn it to a CD for back-up. But still the whole idea is much more involved than using the Multi-Pedal. Plus any time you can avoid using more hardware and cabling that necessary is a good thing; referring to the MIDI merge box and two more MIDI cables.

So with that in mind, if you can give me a little time (it is the weekend after all) to see what I can come up with I will get back to you and the other interested Genesys XP owners as soon as I can.

Best Regards,

Dave
