Operating the VGA-7 with the FC-200
With the optional FC-200 MIDI Foot Controller, you can use pedal operations to control the VGA-7.
Initializing the FC-200 from
the VGA-7
Provide the FC-200 with the VGA-7’s settings by sending the
data from the VGA-7.
At the same time that the FC-200 is initialized, the
VGA-7 will also be set to settings suitable for the FC-
200.
For the settings that will be changed, refer to p. 48.
1. Use a MIDI cable to connect the VGA-7’s MIDI OUT and
the FC-200’s MIDI IN connectors.

2. While Holding down [VARIATION/EDIT] and turn on
the VGA-7’s POWER switch.
“FC” and “200” appear alternately in the display, and
the [WRITE] indicator flashes.
* To cancel the operation, press either [TUNER],
[VARIATION/EDIT], [GK], or [SYSTEM].
3. After confirming that the FC-200’s power switch is on,
press [WRITE].
During transmission, “–” appears, moving from left to
right across the display.
When transmission is finished, the unit returns to the
status in effect before the last time the power was turned
off.
This completes initialization of the FC-200.
* Immediately after initialization, the VGA-7 will be in
Program Change mode (p. 44).
Connecting the VGA-7 and
the FC-200
fig.90
Set the VGA-7’s MIDI channel to “OMNI ON” or to the
same channel set for the FC-200 (p. 48).
* This is set at the factory to “OMNI ON.”
With an optional FS-5U foot switch connected to the FC-
200’s Mode jack, you can use the setup to switch
between Program Change mode, used for switching
Patches, and Control Change mode, in which Control
Change messages are sent.
* When connecting the FS-5U (sold separately) to the FOOT
SW jack, set the polarity switch as shown below.
