+ MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER FCB1010 The FCB1010 has no dedicated MIDI THRU port. However, the data received at the MIDI IN can be routed to the MIDI OUT provided that the MERGE function is enabled. MIDI OUT: 4.2 The MIDI OUT allows you to transmit data to any MIDI-compatible device/instrument. MIDI data format Although the FCB1010 is very easy to operate, it does make sense to know a few things about the format of MIDI data. Each MIDI command or message consists of up to three bytes (1 byte = 8 bits).
MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER FCB1010 4.2.4 Running Status Since the MIDI standard uses a serial transmission format, i.e. transmits data successively, it was soon found that the transmission rate is too low if the system is exploited to its full capacity. To make up for an audibly delayed transmission of MIDI data, the so-called Running Status was introduced, which suppresses the status byte in two or more identical MIDI messages that follow each other. For example, if the data bytes of a controller (e.g.
