What I didn't know is that the stock firmware works just fine for my application, which is Ableton Live 9 and multiple guitar VST's. I ordered this board here, on 8-31-2015, I received the new model with stock FCB1010 Firmware version 2.5.1e, as confirmed by the free PC utility, FCBEditor.
I spent a lot of time looking at the UnO and Eureka eproms. I may still get one of those at some point but, for now I've been able to get Guitar Rig 5 and Overloud TH2 working perfectly, with stock FCB firmware, Ableton Live 9 and with a Scarlett Focusrite 6i6 controller.
Here is a must have utility for PC users: this free utility will allow you to program your FCB1010 without all of the pedal pushing on the board itself:
http://host.mtnsys.com:81/faq-fcb/PCEditorBeta.htm - If that link is not working, search for - PC Editor FCB1010. It is pointless to try and program the FCB1010 from the pedals, when this utility gets it done much easier and faster. I use this with Windows 7 x64 and can't speak for other OS's.
It's good to have two MIDI cables, in/out, for programming. Buy two if you have none, as the FCB1010 doesn't come with any.
If you can't get the FCB1010 working with your VST's in Ableton:
1. Insert a blank MIDI track
2. Set the input of the MIDI track to the MIDI receiver for your FCB1010 - in my case Scarlett Focusrite 6i6
3. Set the output of the MIDI track to the separate audio track that contains the guitar VST you want to pass MIDI control to - in my case Guitar Rig 5
4. Set the MIDI track to IN - not Auto or OFF
5. Make sure the track that contains your VST audio track is armed/record lit up on track - Guitar Rig 5 track, record button lit
6. Tap dance your way through 100 amps - 10 banks*10 presets
There are multiple youtube videos that will help you figure out assigning the expression pedals.CC# 7 for volume and CC#11 for wah is pretty standard.
I'm not going to say this was an easy task, it took me 15+ hours to get things right, mostly because of old and outdated info and software out there on the web, but this was a very rewarding experience. I learned a lot that can be applied in many different ways.
There are also a lot of useful mods out there, like powering the FCB1010 over the same MIDI cable, so you can have just one cable running to this board. And some more:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8m0v3Rr6f4U
If you like a challenge and the satisfaction of being able to control any part of your VST's or DAW with your feet, you need the FCB1010.
Yes, it can be fairly challenging to program, but I spent a couple days simply researching online how others are using it with Ableton Live, and now the programming is not only easy, but fairly intuitive. I am controlling all aspects of Ableton Live (arming of tracks, navigating the session view, launching and stopping clips and scenes, etc.) completely hands free. As a guitar player, this is an essential piece of gear to truly get the most out of the app.
The previous reviewer who stated that it's useless for Ableton simply didn't understand how to program it to work with the software. What he was looking to do is easily done by configuring the pedal to send midi note information instead of CC messages. These behave exactly as he needed, allowing you to toggle anything on and off at will. Also, no need at all to get the 3rd party firmware (UNO) upgrade. Everything I'm doing with Ableton, I'm doing with the stock firmware. I have ordered the UNO firmware only because I want to experiment with some of its features, but it's NOT needed to control Ableton at all.
Build quality is very good. Expression pedals are a bit flimsy feeling, but all else seems solidly put together.
5 stars if the expression pedals were a bit nicer, but at this price it's a no-brainer. There's nothing else out there that gives you this much control.
If you own an AxeFXII Mark 2 this pedal accesses all 8 scenes in each pre set…food for thought. It works for me and it also works with the Eleven Rack from Digi Design or Pro Tools which I also use this with. It also works with the Kemper Profiling Amp and many more, you just have to understand MIDI CC's and you are set. This is competition for the Fractal Footswitch, just the money makes it a good option, then add the learning part it's a good way to outgrow the pedal and learn slowly what you can not get done with this pedal and then find a used Fractal Footswitch on eBay people are giving up on those pedals. I have seen them as low as 560.00. I got this with the new Eureka Sound E-PROM-enabled FCB1010 Chip that will make using this pedal so much easier than how they are delivered to you from Behringer.

Le mode d'emploi n'apporte pas grand-chose dans le cadre de la programmation, il faut faire à tâtons. Personnellement je n'ai pas encore exploré l'ensemble des possibilités midi.
Je l'utilise sur le légendaire Roland GP16, qui pourtant ne date pas d'hier !
DOA inside. Will never buy from Amazon JP again. Always pay attention when ordering to make sure items are arriving from your country to avoid this nonsense.
The power cable (jug plug) is for a foreign market. Not for Oceania / Australia. So now I need to get a special cable just to make it work. Shouldn't have been listed on Amazon AU or Prime Australia.
