Hi Chris
Thx for the answer. It looks like I can't use the FCB1010 for this. I have an old Roland FC-7 I used for my Roland G70 years ago. Do you know if I can modify that for use with PSR? It has 7-pin MIDI cabel instead of 5. https://www.roland.com/dk/products/fc-7/
Best regards

Hi Joe,
the Roland FC-7 is NOT a MIDI controller! The FC-7 has
passive switches only (which close certain pins of the 7-pin DIN connector). Therefore, the FC-7 can only be used with
Roland devices that are designed for it (and have a corresponding 7-pin input socket).
What you need is a
MIDI foot controller that can send the
SysEx needed (when its foot switches are depressed). With the
Yamaha MFC10, for example, it is possible to send those "Section Control" SysEx. (See the attached picture.) But the MFC10 is out of production for some time ...
P.S.
At the moment I can't give you any other MIDI foot controllers that can also send
SysEx. To do this, one would have to read the manuals of all the devices that could be priced carefully. (Most of these devices can only send
Bank Select /
Program Change events, and possibly MIDI
Note On and / or MIDI
Controller events.
Theoretically, you could also connect a MIDI processor device between the Behringer FCB1010 and the SX900 (e.g. Midisolutions Event Processor or Bome Box). But this is probably something for very experienced users or MIDI professionals ...
Best regards,
Chris
