The FC-300 sets a new standard of power,
versatility and innovation for MIDI foot control. With features such as
bi-directional MIDI data flow to the Roland VG-99 via RRC2, patch
memory recall, twin expression and control pedals and more, this
advanced control station is a perfect companion for Roland's VG-99
V-Guitar System or any other performance-based MIDI instrument or
device.
Control and Expression
The FC-300 is outfitted with nine industrial-grade footswitches and two
programmable expression pedals for fast, easy control and expanded
performance capabilities. The backlit LCD offers a high-contrast view
of patch names (when used with VG-99) and other important data, even in
the darkest stage environments.
Power Patches
Up to 100 sets of MIDI messages/parameters can be stored simultaneously
in the FC-300 as patches. Complex MIDI transmission is made simple,
thanks to the FC-300's ability to package chunks of data together in a
single patch and transmit each data-burst via footswitch.
Advanced Connectivity
Using commercially available LAN (Ethernet, CAT5) cable and the newly
adopted RRC2 protocol, the FC-300 provides both bidirectional MIDI
transmission and electrical power supply with one simple connection
between VG-99 and FC-300.
Programmable Switching
Two multipurpose switch-jacks are built into the FC-300. These
programmable outputs are an ideal feature for guitarists, as they allow
amp channels to be switched from clean to lead, for example, in sync
with patch changes on the FC-300.
Features:
- Two assignable expression pedals, two control pedals, nine footswitches and expandability
- New Patch Mode stores up to 100 MIDI setups
- RRC2 protocol adopted for bidirectional data flow between FC-300 and Roland RRC2 equipped product
- Two Amp Control switches for controlling amp channels or effects
- Three-way power supply (battery: 6xAA, AC adapter, via RRC2) and metal construction for stage use
