VG-99 & FC-300 Documentation and Knowledge Base

[sixeight]

Hi David,

  I haven't found the time yet to document the phantom power option. I hope to get around to it this weekend, but things are a little busy now.

  I now have one MIDI cable from the FCB1010 to the VG-99. On the VG-99 there is a little adapter cable, which is a little tricky to make. You don't have to open the VG-99 or do any soldering in it.

The phantom power doc only gives half of the story, and its not a good way to do it either. There is a much better way. I pull the power from the RRC2 in. So the power supply of the VG-99 also powers the FCB1010. I will make the documentation of it eventually, but it's quite a job, so please be patient.

I agree - the idea of having to use a separate power supply when one can tap into the VG-99 RRC2 seems ridiculous. But I would be worried about shorting something out and damaging the VG-99 in the process.....
Thanks for sharing this with us.

Hi all

Q. Can the FC-300 pedal transmit MIDI note on/ off output information?

A. Patch mode allows a number of FC-300 and CTL1 pedal, pedal-2 notes any information can be stored.
Also, more than one pedal notes can be stored as a single pedal to operate only in code (chord) can be printed out.

Has anybody managed to decipher this answer and make use of it?  

Edit:
If I understand correctly, in "Patch" mode the FC-300's CTL1 and CTL 2 pedals can send MIDI note on/off messages.
They can also both send more than 1 MIDI note on/off message at a time, meaning you can "play" chords.

Now to find out the pros & cons of using the "Patch" mode as opposed to the other ones...

The other topic where it came up was here: http://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=2471.0
In this topic member fokof brought up the FC-300 PATCH MODE that does allow you to do just about anything in the MIDI world. The only thing about it is that it is very complicated to pull off. You can find out details on how to program patch mode in the FC-300 manual starting on page 32. Hope this helps and let us know how it works.
