Uncle Dave,

I have had 2 of these Roland FC-7 pedals for a long time. This FC-7 pedal, unlike other MIDI pedals such as Yamaha MFC10 or Korg EC5, is not programmable. FC-7 is hard-wired pulse controller, not MIDI controller. In the case of Yamaha MFC10, you can program each button to your desire. Not the case with Roland FC-7, which has already been marked for its specialized functions (Start/Stop, Intro, Advanced, To Variation, To Original, Variation, Ending).

Other Roland MIDI-based foot controllers, such as the PK-5 bass pedal that I also have, are fully programmable.
