INTRODUCTION
Overview
The FCB4N is a programmable MIDI foot controller that supports all standard MIDI devices. You can save
MIDI messages into the FCB4N with 64 presets memory. The MIDI messages can be transmit by 2 different
PC and 4 CC in a preset.
The FCB4N has up/down bank switches and 4 patches switches with high quality and heavy duty foot switch
that you can feel when pressing on a switch. The body is made by aluminum with black anodize coating and
folded by laser cutting process. It is a compact rugged, simple to use and fully programmable MIDI foot
controller.
TOP Panel
BANK UP/DOWN SWITCH: This is using for increase bank up or decrease bank down from the current
state. The current bank is start from bank#1 up to bank#32 maximum but
you can program the bank limit for looping.
PRESETS SWITCH: The FCB4N has 4 patches in a bank as P1, P2, P3 and P4. You also use
these switches in programming mode for edit, enter, save or cancel
function.
BANK/PROGRAM DISPLAY: The seven segment display has 2 digits display for showing mode when you
are entering to edit/setting program or display bank number when you are
on operation. The MIDI number is start from 0 to 127 that means the
number would be show from 00 to 2.7. If number is over 99 it would be
show the number with a point.
BACK Panel
MIDI OUT: This MIDI out port is for transmit MIDI messages from the unit to other
MIDI device.
12VAC/DC I/O: Connect to supply external voltage 9 - 12Vac/dc with current 200mA
minimum. (12Vac/dc maximum) These are 2 ports for expand the input
power supply to other MIDI device. (It is not power supply ports)

BASIC OPERATION
Please refer to a text that appears as under switches when you are going to use the FCB4N unit in the basic
operation mode. On power up, the latest preset is selected and transmitted MIDI message via MIDI out.
(Initial value is Bank#1, preset#1 of mode F1)
You can not program or set any changes on a preset when you are working on an operation mode because
we design the firmware to have no delay when the FCB4N transmitted MIDI messages via a MIDI out. The
MIDI messages are suddenly transmitted once the selected preset is pressing.
Bank and Preset selection
In each mode has different total bank on the function but has 32 Banks maximum. (Bank#1 – Bank#32)
Press
BANK UP or BANK DOWN switches to move/scroll from the current bank to another. The
BANK/PROGRAM display will flash and has no MIDI message transmitted until a preset switch is selected.
(P1, P2, P3 or P4 switches) You can hold on the BANK UP or BANK DOWN switches to/past the current
bank continuous and the
BANK/PROGRAM display will be looping once it is out of limit.
You can selected a preset by press the
P1, P2, P3 or P4 switches then the selected preset LED above the
switch will be on with MIDI message suddenly transmitted.
SETUP MODE AND PRESET PROGRAMMING
When you supplied power into the FCB4N unit then it is going to launch operation mode automatically. You
can not program or setting on this operating mode. You should tell the unit knows that you want to setting
or programming. This chapter is explain how to programming or setting the FCB4N

MIDI Cable Support
The FCB4N is a standard MIDI foot controller so you can connect the FCB4N to any MIDI devices you want
via a standard MIDI cable. If you need to phantom power into the FCB4N unit, it is available. The circuit has
reserved MIDI DIN pin 2 for ground and pin 3 for supply but you have to jump on a pcb to enable. We
disable the phantom power for protection any damage to your MIDI devices. Please read your MIDI device’s
instruction before enable the phantom power.
