10.3 Pedal Controller
This page allows you to assign
functions to the FBC-7’s foot-
switches. As you will notice
below, there are also functions
for remotely controlling exter-
nal instruments, like an arranger module or any other
device that understands the messages transmitted by
the FBC-7.
Note: The assignments you program here are only meaningful
if you connect the FR-7x to the supplied FBC-7.
(1) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the
“SWITCH” parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER]
knob to select the footswitch on the FBC-7 whose
function you wish to define.
(2) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the
“ASSIGN” parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER]
knob to select one of the following functions:
Parameter Explanation

Set Down
The footswitch allows you to select the
next (Down) or previous (Up) Set memory.
After selecting Set 01 (or 80), pressing the
footswitch again takes you to Set 80 (or
01).
These are the default functions of foot-
switches [1] and [2].
Regist Up/
Regist Down
The selected footswitch allows you to
select the next (Down) or previous (Up)
treble register. If you combine this with
the “2.12 Bass Link” and “2.13 Orchestra
Link” parameters, this allows you to recon-
figure almost all sections simply by press-
ing this footswitch.
Sust.A* The footswitch can be used to hold the
note messages the selected section
(page 88) transmits via MIDI. You can then
release the keys or buttons – the notes go
on sounding until you release the foot-
switch.
Sust.B* The footswitch can be used to hold the
note messages the selected section
(page 88) transmits via MIDI. You can then
release the keys or buttons – the notes go
on sounding until you release the foot-
switch.

ORCHESTRA section on and off.

the external device to start playback. Press
the footswitch again to stop playback.

section for details. The MIDI message trans-
mitted by this footswitch is PC83 (program
change) on MIDI channel 10.
Fill Up* The footswitch can be used to select a fill-
in pattern of the active Music Style. If the
instrument being controlled provides sev-
eral fill-in patterns, you can select them
one after the other in ascending order.

level (which is called “Original” on older
Roland arranger instruments).
Note: The MIDI message transmitted by this
footswitch is PC81 (program change) on
MIDI channel 10.
Fill Down* The footswitch can be used to select a fill-
in pattern of the active Music Style. If the
instrument being controlled provides sev-
eral fill-in patterns, you can select them
one after the other in descending order.

level (which is called “Variation” on older
Roland arranger instruments).

footswitch is PC82 (program change) on
