Spent the day on utube, in the reference section, read the owner's manual and ran a search - couldn't figure it out - probably because it is so simple nobody writes about it!

I have an FC300 hooked up to my VG99.  So far all I can make it do is move sequentially through the patches on the VG99.  Occasionally, depending on the preloaded patch, one of the control switches or pedals will function.

I simply need to know how to set the CONTROL foot switches on the FC to latch - distortion on CTRL 1 and Chorus on CTRL2 - and volume to not latch on EXP Pedal 2.  And then save thses settings for the particular patch.  I would like to be able to do this on a patch by base basis using other FC300 assignments and parameters on other patches.

I can't seem to make any assignment so I am obviously missing something elementary - so post the obvious link I never found and help put me out of my living hell....

Thanks!

OK Guys,  i answered my own question - sort of - seems I needed to to have the FC300 in SYSEX mode (whatever that is!)

I still can't get the on/off light to do anything with my assignment on the foot pedals....also each patch varies greatly in volume...couldn't wrap my head around the FC owners manual and the impact and meaning of the different operating modes...no MIDI experience...will read again at a later date, after a good breakfast.

This thing is a MONSTER!  I've got to spend more time practicing my guitar than becoming an expert to this rubic's cube!

I do love it though....
