If you have two FS-5Us or an FS-6 connected, you can use Steps 4 and
5 above to assign a different VG-99 function to the second footswitch
(CTL 3 or CTL 4).
Using the FC-300
The optional FC-300 MIDI Foot Controller is the perfected integrated foot
controller for the VG-99. You can select patches with the number and bank
buttons, and control various VG-99 functions with the CTL 1 and CTL 2
pedals and the two expression pedals.
If the onboard pedals aren't enough, the FC-300 has rear-panel jacks
for connecting up to six optional footswitches or up to three optional
expression pedals for additional realtime control. (Various combinations of
both switches and pedals can also be configured).
Normally, the FC-300's onboard display shows the VG-99's currently selected
patch. However, when the tuner is turned on, the display switches to show
the tuner.
The string is in tune when the center
indicator lights steadily
The FC-300 tuner display.
You can use the FC-300 to turn the VG-99's tuner on and off in a variety of
ways, as we discuss next.
The FC-300 must be in System Exclusive mode to display the VG-99's
patches and tuner, and also to use the "Quick Tuner" function discussed
next. To learn more about using the FC-300 with the VG-99, see the
VG-99 Owner's Manual.
