I also use an FCB1010 with pretty good results.
I'm not sure I understand that 80% of the range giving 10% of the values comment.
I get almost the full 0-127 range out of the pedals, but the problem is that When a pedal is ca. 80% pressed towards the top of its range, the MIDI value output is only about 13 (~= 127 * 0.1). The remaining 114 values all seem to reside in the final 20% of the physical pedal range. It's a bit of a pain to work with since the "useful" values in the 13-127 range are clumped so closely together, and that makes the pedal seem overly sensitive to me.
I've read in another forum that such behavior is common among new-ish fcb1010 versions, and is a consequence of the the mechanical translation from the pedal position to the underlying potentiometer: since a rotary poti is used, the actual value plot ought to follow a sinus curve, but I haven't tested this systematically.
I have an FCB1010 abstraction that I've made. If it's useful to anyone, email me and I can send it to you.
I'm interested! In fact, I've written such an abstraction as well, which I'm also happy to share.
