Hi Zoe,
I'm back again. I checked a few things but as I expected you can't change
the corresponding program change number itself in standard mode.
The good news is that the FC-300 has 4 modes including the very powerful
patch mode. This is where the FC-300 shines imo if you need flexibility
and I think this mode offers what you want.
- User definable patch names
- Patch ON and OFF commands, including program change
- CTL pedal ON and OFF commands, including program change
- The EXP pedals and EXP pedal switches can be assigned to up to six
(!)messages to be transmitted
- You can also assign one message to be transmitted to each of the pedals
connected to the rear panel’s EXP PEDAL/CTL jacks and FC-300’s CTL pedals.
- The midi channel is user definable per CC or PC message, so you are able
to control multiple devices on different midi channels.
I have used patch mode myself, it works very good. However, I'm currently
using a combination of standard mode and control mode to control an LP1.
The LP1 can execute 8 functions per program change or control message, so
you can program it to do multiple things with the same CC or PC message.
With standard mode I select the track number on the LP1, so patch 1 =
track 1, patch 2 = track 2 etc. I only have to look at the floor to the
FC-300 to see my current track. Just to be sure :)
With the control mode I have 12 control pedals and 2 expression pedals to
control the usual looper features such as start, stop, rec, half speed,
reverse, undo etc.
I also use 1 external but small control pedal to switch the FC-300 from
standard to control mode and back to standard mode. I'm not using the
external inputs of the FC-300, but you can connect 6 additional CTL pedals
or 3 expression pedals. Combinations are possible to.
Hope this helps
