Much of the new style software is changing the way MIDI is implemented for controlling effects, presets or even simple navigation.
Specifically the software expects to be triggered not from a single CC, but with two alternate values. Thus to enable, or disable an effect stomp, the software wants to see something like a CC#:50 Val:0 followed by a CC#:50 Val:127, or vice versa. While the software will "Learn" from a single CC sent from an FCB1010, without an alternate value being sent, the software will ignore a single CC in actual use.
In addition to "stomp" style controls, some software also requires a dual CC value to change its presets.
NO2CC is included in the iFCB download.
A Soft Solution:
NO2CC is a software solution to address some of the short comings of the FCB1010. It is included with iFCB with a PDF manual that explains its capabilities in detail and with FCB1010 presets for Amplitube 3 and TH2.
NO2CC is a dual purpose MIDI Translator. It monitors the incoming stream of MIDI data from an FCB1010, filters and routes the altered data to one of the Mac's IAC MIDI busses. Software, like MainStage, TH2, etc, that is monitoring the Mac's IAC will see the "altered" MIDI data and act on it rather than the direct MIDI output from the FCB1010.
NO2CC is extremely precise about what is being filtered. It only responds to NOTE ON/OFF commands. Any Program Changes, or Continuous Controller messages are passed straight through without being altered in any way.
NO2CC Modes
The first mode is default alternate mode NO2CC starts up in (stomp box mode is not enabled by default). Any NOTE ON/OFF is converted to a CC message of the same number. For example if NO2CC receives a Note#100 ON, it will convert that to CC#100 Val:127 and send it out. When it receives a Note 100 OFF, it will convert that to CC#100 Val:0 and send it out. This is the simplest form of the alternate value usage. Note also that there is a preference to reverse the CC Values that are sent out so instead of 127 and 0, you can have NO2CC send out 0 and 127.
The second made is the "stomp box" mode. In this mode, you have a 10 "note" range that you can use to control five "stomp" style controls with five "temp" controls (stomp on or off so long as you hold the FCB1010 button down).
Tap Tempo
The FCB1010 also has a "tap tempo" schema built into it when you are using NOTE as the only enabled item in an FCB1010 patch. The FCB1010 will use the number programmed at CC#0 to send out a "tempo" value. You can effectively use the NO2CC Mask to stop that value from being passed through by NO2CC.
