The Roland FC300 is the Next Generation Control Station
The FC-300 sets a new standard of power, versatility for MIDI foot control. With features such as bi-directional
MIDI data flow to the Roland VG-99 via newly adopted RRC2*, patch memory recall, twin expression and
control pedals and more, this advanced control station is a perfect companion for Roland’s new VG-99
V-Guitar System or any other performance-based MIDI instrument or device.
Roland FC300 Features
- Advanced MIDI foot controller with
two assignable expression pedals,
two control pedals, nine footswitches
and expandability
- New Patch Mode stores up to 100
MIDI setups
- In addition to standard MIDI connection,
newly developed RRC2* protocol
adopted for bidirectional data flow
between FC-300 and Roland RRC2
equipped products.

- Perfect companion for the new VG-99
Control & Expression
The FC-300 is outfitted with nine industrial-grade footswitches and
two programmable expression pedals for fast, easy control and
expanded performance capabilities. The backlit LCD offers a highcontrast
view of patch names (when used with VG-99) and other
important data, even in the darkest stage environments.
Power Patches
Up to 100 sets of MIDI messages/parameters can be stored simultaneously
in the FC-300 as patches. Complex MIDI transmission is
made simple thanks to the FC-300’s ability to package chunks of
data together in a single patch, and then transmit each data-burst
via footswitch.
Advanced Connectivity
Using commercially available LAN (Ethernet, CAT5) cable and the
newly adopted RRC2 protocol, the FC-300 provides both bidirectional
MIDI transmission and electrical power supply with one simple
connection between VG-99 and FC-300.
Programmable Switching
Two multipurpose switch-jacks are built into the FC-300. These
programmable outputs are an ideal feature for guitarists, as they
allow amp channels to be switched from clean to lead, for example,
in sync with patch changes on the FC-300.
