Hi Dali_S, No I don't have a sysex file from my unit handy but setting it up is very easy with the PC Editor from Mountain Systems. My Sysex probably would not help you since I'm controlling a lot of different gear with my 1010 and would probably just add to your learning curve.

Here's the url for the Editor: [url]http://host.mtnsys.com:81/faq-fcb/PCEditorBeta.htm[/url]

The interface looks just like the FCB1010 so it's easy to navigate IMO. I actually find the spreadsheet page faster myself but what ever works for you. You can run the Editor without your 1010 hooked up also to experiment.
All you need to do is assign an individual midi note to each of the preset pedals (1-10) that matches the note assigned to your song parts in Jamstix. You can do this for all 10 banks so you could control up to 100 different song parts. I loaded it up on my Surface running Windows 10 so I can confirm that it works with Win 10. It should be very easy to set up IMO but if you do have any problems just ask, I'd be glad to help.

Buy a new one though there are some older versions that had some firmware glitches. There are also PC based programmers available for free for it which make the job much less tedious. That would be my biggest complaint that programming the unit is pretty confusing and time consuming using the interface. Sweetwater has them for $149.
That's a cool idea. I've had my eye on a 1010 for a while now, and I might just pull the trigger.
For now, I just use a small midi keyboard to trigger the parts. I very cleverly used note C to trigger the chorus, B for a bridge, and E for an ending. Note A is for verse - I figure it's sort of an upside down V. :D

I already paid for the the FCB Control Center :

But only did stuff related to Reaper + Guitar Rig 5 and the Frippertronic VST http://www.kvraudio.com/product/elottronix_by_elogoxa . ;)

I will give a go for experimenting JS & FCB1010 !

A_zimuth, do you have the UNO chip ? just curious...

No I don't because I use Bome's Midi Translator for what the stock firmware can't handle. That's not much though, the stock firmware handles probably 95% of what I do perfectly.

@4_johnny, Your screenshot of the Line 6 controller shows it can send program change messages and Jamstix can respond to them according to the manual. See the user manual section covering Liveloops on pg. 54.
