I just got to know about this by chance: Reading a German review about the BK-9, I saw a recent comment by a user who contacted Roland and was told this pedal was no more available.
http://www.roland.com/products/fc-7/Another one of Roland's typical slaps in the users' face.
It was overpriced also for such a basic pedal. My Roland dealer friend refused to buy it even at dealer cost. He had his technician make a pedal for his BK7m. If anybody needs it, here is an alternative.
http://www.elane-electronics.com/pedals/Elane_FS-7M.html Donny, my dealer friend's tech person made a simple foot controller. It doesn't have 7 switches whereas the Elane replacement of the FC7 looks and functions just like the FC7 with 7 switches. I purchased some specialty cables and a wireless midi system from them last year. They should have the FC7 replacement in stock.
By the way, I wonder if the BK9 receives MIDI to call up functions like Korg arrangers, or sysEx messages like Ketron?
