Hi folks.. I have an incoming FC-300 in a couple of weeks....

I would REALLY like to just operate in Standard mode.   So having (mostly) read the manual:

I'll have the FC-300 connected via RRC2 to my VG99.
I need to have the FC-300 midi out port send PCC from the footswitches to a Switchblade.
Question:     Without any programming, without Patch mode, when I'm in Standard mode does footswitch (e.g.) 4  send a PCC of #4 out the midi out port?

and IIRC, the default midi channel for the FC-300 is  "1"   ??

You can send PC messages from the guitar-to-midi section of the VG-99. That way the patch of the switchblade is set in a patch of the VG-99, and you can call the same patch of the switchblade from several patches of the VG-99.

Then you can use the FC300 in sysex mode and read your patch names on the display of the FC300.

so that's:   Set to POLY in the guitar to midi section of the patch, then set the PC (PCC) # 

So: Independently of the Tx PC out function, this PC out within a patch could trigger presets on the Switchblade... yes?

and it sends that PC just by going to/engaging a particular VG99 patch?
