Re: FC-300 (was How to simulate a piano sustain pedal)

Thanks for all your replies. It appeared that the FCB1010 was too big to fit under my synth stand; second: my supplier told me that a lot of the FCB's have been returned within a year due to hardware failures..... So I have decided to buy the Roland FC-300  

 

First impression:

+ all pedals can be of type latch or momentary => piano sustain can be programmed :)

+ good positioning of all pedals

+ good visibility of green and red LED's on stage

+ easy to progam, no manual needed

+ build like a tank => as the FC-200

- 1 global midi channel setting => it's not possible to store different midi channel's with a pedal setting

- only 1 control message per pedal

 

BTW The Gordius looks like a very interesting but it looks designed for standing guitar players. I don't know but the switches don't look very comfortable for your feet when you're sitting behind a piano with a Gordius on the floor.
