I use the FC-200 to control patch changes on 3 different FX units, via CC mode to control both a Repeater and an EDP, and even dabble in note mode some (via a synth module). The only real trick I guess is switching modes. In addition to it's 6 expansion jacks though, there's actually a 7th jack that takes a FS-5U and is used to switch modes. You can set how many of the four modes it cycles through. I actually have it set to just two, so my FS-5U changes the FC-200 back and forth from patch change mode to CC mode. When I want the note mode, I angle my size 13 shoes to just hit the little tiny mode button with the edge of my toe. Tricky.. but do-able. As for my current programing scheme... I've got: the CTL pedal (always the same CC number regardless of mode) set to be a sustain pedal for my synth... the expression pedal set as synth volume 5 pedals programmed for the repeater (Rec, Undo, Trk 1 select, Trk 2 select, Stop) 7 pedals for EDP - (Rec, Over, Mult, Undo, Insert, Next, Mute) 2 extra EV-5's (exp) for Repeater trk 1&2 volumes 2 extra EV5's for instrument volumes and 2 open jacks ... one of which I plan to use for EDP volume... the other???? On the plus side... the thing is pretty rugged. I've owned mine for about 5 years now. It's been on a ton of trips.. checked in on airlines in everything from just a gig bag to suitcases, shipped all over the place... it even got run over by a car once. Of course in the car incident, I had to replace the chassis, but despite caving in, the chassis DID save the circuit board and none of the pedals were damaged. toodles, Tom Griesgraber www.thossounds.com
