Thank-you. I'm truly flattered. No, really!

I think it's awsome. And for the price, nothing even
comes close.

I haven't had any problem getting my FCB into config
mode with another device connected to the MIDI in. I
even tried various combinations of the Merge, Running
Status, and Direct Select settings thinking that might
have something to do with it. I know there are several
eProm versions. Mine is version 2.1 (probably not the
most current). I don't know of any way to get it to
show the version in the display. I think you have to
crack the case to see it. There should be a sticker on
the eProm.

As I understand it this is a feature of JSL and it's
controlled by something in the core code. If you're
using an external fader box with 16 faders, the
dimming/highlighting of the labels on the widgets is
supposed to show which bank of faders is currently
active. You use the left and right buttons in the
toolbar to swich banks. Apparently it keys off the
fader numbers you assign when creating the widgets in
your editor. For some reason the left and right
buttons don't seem to have any effect on the FCB1010
editor. I haven't really had the time to look into it.
I remember there was some discussion about this
feature a while ago.
