Yes, you can do a factory reset.

First, open the update firmware section:

Btw, when you are doing the Loopback test, you should be connecting the MIDI Expression 5 pin MIDI IN directly to the MIDI Expression 5 pin MIDI OUT. The test checks to ensure that data (large sysEx messages) passes through the device without error.

When your looking at the MIDI Dins straight on is the leftside IN and the rightside OUt? not that it matters because you said just to connect one cable to both but for future reference i didnt see this is the flow chart diagram or anywhere for that matter.. i may have missed that though.

still getting same error...
nm...after factory reset now im getting the green check marks saying passed...ok on to further testing the board

Ok so its not picking up the fcb1010 and ifcb loopback test is passing once i had it set up correctly. So I think the issue has to be for the fcb1010 to be seen by the midiexpression. Once this happens the ifcb software will work just fine but the issue is the midiexpression is not seeing the fcb1010 pedal board. What can I do to make this happen? i believe its on channel 1...

Can we start with the very basics? Forgetting about iFCB for a moment, let's make sure your FCB1010 actually works.

1. Connect the FCB1010 to the MIDI Expression (looking from the back at the MIDI port of the iO, the left port is the IN and the right port is the OUT).
2. Open the Control Application.
3. Move the expression pedal on the FCB1010.

Looking at the MIDI Activity Indicator (those 3 little dots that you press to open the routing page in the Control Application), do any of them light up indicating that the FCB1010 is sending MIDI Data?

If not, then I suspect the issue is with your FCB1010. You might want want to perform a factory reset. Google 'FCB101 factory reset'.

I believe its sending midi data because the red light comes on....

I dont know what to make of it all. I have made sure the fcb1010 and the midiexpression are both on same midi chanel of 1 and cc 7 for the expression pedal....i see the red light come on but do not see the pedal moving

[Rob]

The pedal graphics in the MIDI Expression Control application won't move in response to your FCB1010. Those graphics are only for pedals that are plugged into the MIDI Expression.

Alright here's the next thing to check. With the control application open, when you launch the iFCB, two two of the Activity Monitor lights in the Control Application light up, showing that the iFCB is sending data and that the FCB1010 is responding to it? Are there any sort of MIDI led's on the FCB1010 that light up when you launch iFCB?
