Newbie Question: can I use the Manager to send MIDI messages?

I have my FCB1010 on order.  While I am waiting for it, can I use the Manager software to send MIDI messages to my devices, as if I already had the FCB1010, using the virtual foot controller that is part of the Manager?

Thanks!

Jon

Yes, you can!
For instance, when you click a preset pedal (1-10) in the "Soft FCB1010" window, FCB1010 Manager sends any output messages defined for that pedal to the "MIDI output device for Soft FCB1010" specified in the "FCB1010 options" dialog box.
In fact, if this output device is a virtual loopback MIDI device (like loopMIDI in Windows), you can loop back this output to FCB1010 Manager itself, and study this output in the "MIDI input messages" window.

For further details, see under "View -> Soft FCB1010" in section 6 of the FCB1010 Manager manual.

Wonderful!  Works exactly as you described!  What a great way to test a configuration before sending it on to the FCB1010!  Thank you!
