Hi Diki,

That is an excellent observation.

I checked the Behringer FCB1010 User Manual. It can send a Program Change message or a Control Change message or a Note message or a combination thereof.


I do not see a way to store and send SysEx messages!


This makes the Yamaha MFC10 a better choice, since it is already programmed to control the Variations and Fills on a Yamaha Tyros 4 keyboard. This works out of the box.

I checked the Reference Manual of the GENOS.

https://usa.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/7/1131007/genos_en_rm_g0.pdf

On Page-148 it explains how to hook up an External MIDI Controller using the MFC10 as an example.

On Page 149 it lists all the Functions that respond to Continuous Value input like Volume, Pan, Expression, Reverb, Chorus, etc.

On Pages 150-151, it lists all the Functions that respond to On/Off input. These functions include:

Sync Start
Sync Stop
Intro 1-3
Main ABCD
Fill Down
Fill Up
Fill Self
Fill Break
Ending 1-3
Registration 1-10
Multi Pad 1-4
etc.


All of these functions can be activated by a Control Change message and a Note ON/OFF message.

So it appears an external MIDI Foot Controller will work with the GENOS to engage these functions so long it can transmit a Control Change message along with a midi Note on/off message.
