Boss RC-505 & FCB1010 Midi Controller (Part 1)

NOTE (March 2019): In the meantime UNO has released a dedicated eprom for the rc-505 control called fcb505. This gives a lot more options (12 switches in stompbox mode and 2 expression pedals can be used), only one bank is available though and everything is fixed on the fcb. Configuration has to be done on the RC. Check it out: https://www.fcb1010.eu/fcb505.html

Gear used in the video:

Especially for guitar, bass and other players who need their hands to play an instrument. This 3 part video explains how to configure the Boss uRC-505 so it can be controlled via a FCB1010 Midi controller.

Each of the 5 channels will get a Rec-Overdub - play button and an undo but other configurations are possible.

The FCB1010 is equiped with a UNO chip because StompBox mode is required. You can get more info on this on www.fcb1010.eu
