FCB1010 + UnO2-Chip / Overview & SampleScript

Dear fellow sufferers,: D
I would like to introduce you to the UnO2-Chip for the FCB1010 that comes from the same brain
as the well-known and broadly 14 years old UnO-chip.

This is my opportunity to thank everyone who helps me up by contributing to the forum.
This forum is close, I love Guitar Rig 5 and since there is Guitar Rig 6 I look in here to see what is developing.
I wonder that the UnO2-Chip is already 1? Year is old, but there is no progress report on the net
and with all the hassle with Guitar Rig + FCB1010 (with or without chip exchange) the new chip hasn't noticed anyone yet.
I 'fear' the programmer is a little genius who forgets to praise his chip, I do with this!: thumbsup:

I decided to get a FCB1010 to have more opportunities than Rig Kontrol 3.
2 pedals are better than one and 10 pedals per Bank, great!

So on day 1 I bought a FCB1010, 70 €, as new, original chip V2.5.1E.
After a relatively short time I it was clear: The notorious quilt dance on the Board to change the settings, I DO NOT WILL LEARN THAT!!!
Nothing helped to read for long, the original is not suitable for my purposes.
I can't turn on 10 effects and light up all the lamps. I really wonder what weak head this firmware is
has devised! No 'official' software for comfortable setup of the device, after 20 years!
They don't want this either, consciously or unconsciously, 1 step forward 2 steps back!

On day 7 came the UnO-chip, 9 €, ebay. I had read about StompBoxMode, that should take me further
After many attempts with free software, I had found a way to activate the 5 StompBoxes.
The bottom line is nothing half and not whole. The UnO-chip manufacturer also has a program with GUI for it, 20 € and certainly worth its money,
that doesn't change the little Nuisances.
That's no replacement for the RK3 at all, unfortunately.

A miracle!
On day 14 I installed the UnO2-Chip, for 62 € incl. shipping with insurance, from Belgium.
The software is some delicacy of the whole, a TextEditor of the instructions to be defined in SysEx? converts and then transmits.
No Graphical UserInterface: p: cool:
The chip must then be activated from the software via the Internet. FCB1010 -- > Midi Wiring -- > PC -- > Software -- > Internet

To come to the climax: oops:, I'm 100% happy with chip and software and 99.9% happy in combination with GR5!
Better and more than I expected!

After another 2 weeks, the tendency to 'Twin Board with UnO2 chip' had already been realized, one at home and one in the rehearsal room.

After the month overview I guess that the majority of owners would have liked to use 'theyr' FCB1010 for the rig,
but abandoned it. The 2nd board I bought was also as new

And just at that moment GR6 appears, that can't be a coincidence! Wishes works!


Now I want to come to the object of Consideration, my Midi-StompBox-Tooth allready drops,
a FCB1010 is right here next to me on the couch, the S520 in the near is watching distrustfully

One more sentence to the difference UnO vs. UnO2.
The UnO2 is NOT a further development of the UnO, but a miniature of a more sophisticated device, the TinyBox.
It is a separate device with 262144 bytes of memory, can still store, manage and reproduce text and setlists on teleprompters,
the UnO2 CANNOT do that!
With the installation of the UnO2 into the FCB1010, the most of the structure and capabilities of the TinyBox are transferred into the FCB1010.
Goal!: cool:


UnO2: from the manual
A setup can include:

- up to 199 banks, up/down buttons FCB1010
- "direct" bank, a button can be set to activate/deactivate 'direct' bank,
then the number # of the preset can be entered via the 9 other buttons, activate/deactivate 'directly' bank

- up to 1000 presets. Each preset can send a, theoretically, unlimited number of midi commands and each command to one of 16 MIDI channels.

- up to 1000 "effects" (StompBoxes). When a foot button is connected to an effect (StompBox), the button acts as a switch
with 2 states (ON/OFF), with each switching state of the button a set of midi commands can/must be sent along.

- up to 500 triggers. If a footbutton has been used as a trigger, it acts as a temporary effect, push ON release OFF,
with each switching state of the button, a set of midi commands can/must be sent.

- up to 250 different sweeps. Sweeps are definitions for the pedals of the FCB1010. Not only the continuous midi data of the pedals are sent (ControlChange, PitchBend, ￨bt Pressure) but also the curve type (linear, fast rising, slow rising).

- Any UnO2 preset, effect, or trigger can send any combination of midi commands:
- MIDI commands such as ProgChange, CtrlChange ,-On ,-Off, MIDIStart, MIDIContinue, MIDIStop, SysEx

- a 'Wait' command, interrupts midi transmission for milliseconds or seconds, 1 is the smallest value and corresponds to 1/10th seconds or 100ms, value 10 i.e. 1s.
- jack outputs of the FCB1010 can be switched via preset, effect or trigger

- Pedals: on/off commands can be sent via virtual Tipswitch/HeelSwitch

* * * The theoretical value of 1000 presets is limited by the memory of the FCB1010, the original board has a 2048 bytes memory.
The sample script below requires 19.05% of the memory of my device,
so 100 StompBoxes should be possible in 8-10 banks.

- Just tested it again, through the TRIGGER_CLICK and TRIGGER_RELEASE function,
I do NOT need 'disable/enable Hold Mode', it is the same for GR5 whether enabled or disabled, TapTempo works!

- I test GR6 in demo mode, as far as I can see, I can operate everything, also TapTempo.


That's something!

Here is an example:
I only use 1 preset in GR5, all in one rig, so there is no ProgChange here.
Who understands the following also sees with which 'switches' and commands are to be sent.
And any switch(0-9) can be preset, effect or trigger!

0 presets, 2 banks, 20 effects (StompBoxes), 1 trigger, 2 sweeps (pedals). The software says: 19.05% of the memory is used.

20 StopmpBoxes: WahWah (for ToneShape), Comp 1, Pitch , Gate, MT-2, Screamer, Comp 2, EQ, Chorus, Delay, TapTempo, Reverb, etc.

Everything my FCB1010 needs to know is in the following script,
the remaining settings are midi-learn in GR5/GR6, simple and perfect!
The following script can be copied and pasted in an online demo of the editor, see all links below.

I don't need the setting 'disable hold mode'!
You can also use the switches EFFECT_ON/EFFECT_OFF for TapTempo, i.e. push ON, push again OFF - means of a set-on/set-off, but this halves the delay frequency, because the OFF command only happens at the 2. push, not already when the 1. is released. I.e. with trigger I reach a delay 250ms, with switch 500ms, all right? */

PS: With the jack outputs and the 'wait' command I can control a fog machine on stage,
I kick a trigger and then it blows for 10 seconds

/* symbolically, besides, while the time is running, the board cannot be used differently */
TRIGGER_CLICK Fogmachine =
{
Close Relay1
Wait 100
Open Relay1
}

On the 2nd RelaySwitch, a stroboscope can be operated as "momentary effect," or switch the channels of a real amp via "on/off."

That was a lot, but I still hope I could make "appetite".
This is the invitation, the chip can do even more, see manual!
I will clean the script from the descriptions and post it separately, then it doesn't look so big.

So be it!
