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.
