Does anyone use or have any feedback on either of these two Midi Foot Controllers by Roland? I will be using it with the VA76 and want to purchase the right one.

FC-7
FC-200

I have a VA-7 and use the FC-7. Frankly, the VA-7 is a pain to choose among the 4 different style parts UNLESS you have the FC-7 foot controller. Roland left a lot of the buttons off when they designed the VA-7 and VA-76. They tried to make up for this by making the FC-7 somewhat programable. I don't know about the FC-200. But, I strongly believe you will want one of these foot controllers.

Behringher make a "generic" Midi foot controller device, the FCB1010 which looks very flexible although I'd expect you will have to customise its settings to suit the Roland.

Lou,
I have the FC7 and the Behringer Midi foot controler in stock. The FC7 has exactly the same foot buttons as the front panel buttons to start stop, change variations, use fill ins and intro and endings. The Behringer, like the FC200 are midi pedal boards with volume pedals built in and buttons for changing programs and if you can figure the rest out, you can program the buttons to do many functions. If you want something easy to use, the FC7 is a must for VA7 owners.
