I am trying to connect a Behringer FCB1010 to QLC+ so I can use the pedals to trigger Shows, Chasers, etc. I cannot seem to figure out the basics of getting the device connected to QLC. Previously I've had success connecting a nanKontrol2 but this is giving me some headaches. Is anybody able to provide intructions for connecting this device? Thanks in advance.

Is it recognized by QLC+? (Do you see a joystick wiggling in your input/output screen)?
If so:
* have you made a profile for it? (You better do ... (and if successful - post it here please?)
- now you can use your external commands IF you bind them to functions inside the VC...
If not - ask Massimo politely ;-)

I do not see the joystick when pressing buttons or expression pedals, but when I connect it via USB I do see MIDI IN/OUT options appear in my input/output screen. Nothing I do from that point appears to do anything.

Help me, Massimo. You're my only hope. Thanks, all.

According to the manual (https://media.music-group.com/media/PLM ... 9_M_EN.pdf) you can set the MIDI channel you prefer.
For example, just set channel 2, then in QLC+ open the MIDI plugin configuration dialog and set channel 2 as well.
Pedal boards usually send Program Change (PC) messages.
