Hi All - I’m attaching a copy of a thread from the XS Forum - as I still do not have a resolution to my problem. I see others have issues with the FC9, but I cannot seem to find this exact problem others are having. NOt sure if I should send this back or not.. Appreciate any insight! Greg Below is a copy-paste of an unresolved thread…

I recently purchased the FC9 because I liked the ability to dial in the MIN volume and be able to work within my set high/low volumes while performing. I am using it on my XS and have it run via a stereo 1/4 from the OUT2 to the foot controller on the XS and have set that jack to channel volume. However, the MIN volume dial does not work...? Its my understanding that I do not have to run from the main out of the XS through the pedal and out to the snake in order for this to function - I should be able to run it as a volume controller. The pedal does function as a volume pedal - but the MIN volume dial does not have any effect on the Min level. Does anyone have any experience with this pedal? Also while I’m on it, I have the FC3 and an FC4. How do you guys like using these and what do U use them for? I was using the FC4 for sustain, and switched to the FC3 for sustain (due to the better control?) As always - Thanks in advance!

You say you are controlling Channel Volume - which is correct, we assume you have the Foot Controller jack set to cc007, correct?
And make sure that the switch is set to CV…

Also - just so I’m communicatinhg clearly, the LED light does not illuminate when the OUTPUT jacks are used, only when the Input jacks are used… but in this application I am not using the Input jacks on the FC9. So the problem is the MIN VOL dial has no effect on the overall pedal function… ???
Thanks

OK - here is the follow up if anyone was thinking about trying the same thing I did= After a call to tech support, the short answer is the MIN VOL dial only works when the pedel is used in a input/output setup and not in the Control Pedal/control Master Volume function… Not sure how I feel about running the Motif through the FC9… as I was hoping to use the control function and keep the Motif outs clean. Looks like thevolume fader may be the best bet. G |
