Hello folks,
I've decided to get a MIDI foot controller, probably a Behringer FCB1010 unless you know of a better one with expression. I won't get a lot of use out of it but sometimes I feel like having a mess around when the mood takes me. Our old friend David Wallimann has done this setup video. My issue is, he shows the audio settings at the 1:00 mark, they only appear when using TH-U as a stand alone piece of kit. If you open it up as a plugin in Reaper, when you click "settings" the audio settings box isn't there. Before I buy, can you foresee any issues? https://youtu.be/7K7JSzvg4T8 Cheers Phil -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE  “Success is not obtained overnight.

Thanks Todd,
What about this part of my question "Our old friend David Wallimann has done this setup video. My issue is, he shows the audio settings at the 1:00 mark, they only appear when using TH-U as a stand alone piece of kit. If you open it up as a plugin in Reaper, when you click "settings" the audio settings box isn't there." Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

you probably need to have a separate track set up for midi input and linked to your audio track with the plug in. I'll dig about after I have a call with my boss telling him how hard I'm working

That's a good piece of gear Phil. I have many friends that used it. The only thing that makes me re think this is that configuring it with pc can take much time and I prefer to keep things simple when practicing guitar.

Looks quite simple with TH-U. It will be something I add bindings to as and when I need to. I won't let it absorb me I'm getting ready for when/if the creativity workshops come back

Okay, now I've sorted it stand alone, it doesn't work from within Reaper. If I click on the MIDI menu, I can see the bindings are still there. The only thing is, in TH-U in Reaper, the audio settings menu doesn't have the MIDI device selector. Any idea where it could be? I'm guessing somewhere in Reaper.

UPDATE: I just found this handy software that may fix all of your problems for you. It it a handy plugin that configures the 1010 with just a few clicks. You can try before you buy.
https://www.fcb1010.uno/ Failing that... Just to make sure you are launching reaper, and then launching the plugin from inside reaper yes? Silly question, but worth getting out of the way  Also, you have armed the track and have the monitor button on as well for the track with the plugin in it? --I found this in the reaper forum. Let me know if this helps. Turn on your computer, your soundcard and the fcb. Launch reaper. Go to prefs->midi devices and make sure the m-audio input is checked for input+control and the output is disabled. Insert a track, arm it and set monitor to monitor input, and input midi to All midi inputs->all channels. Step on your controller and the midi light should flash on your track's vu meter. If that's working add guitar rig to that track. You now need to set up a second track for your guitar's audio input, and route the audio to the guitar rig track.

Go download this app
https://www.fcb1010.uno/ it's free to try and it will let you configure the foot pedal with just a few mouse clicks and skip all these headaches that have been getting in the way As for reaper, I'm sure you know how to arm a track for recording and hit the monitor button to hear it so I don't think that stuff is the issue.

Cheers Todd,
I'll try that software, yeah I can arm a track and hit monitor, I record everything these days with TH-U it just won't allow the 1010 to operate anything. I'll get there, I love TH-U, the only thing I miss about the Helix is the occasional time I need to use the expression pedal or switch an effect on or off in real time which isn't very often
