Chapter 4 Using the VB-99 in
Combination with an FC-300
With an FC-300 (optional) connected to the VB-99, you can perform
the following operations:
• Switch patches
• Have patch names be shown in the FC-300’s display
• Control tones with the FC-300’s pedals (Control Assign)
• Show the VB-99’s tuner in the FC-300’s display when the
TUNER function is used
• Switch the FC-300’s Amp Control on and off
Connect the VB-99 and FC-300 using the RRC2 cable included with
the unit.
What is RRC2?
RRC2 is a Roland protocol that provides for the supply of
power and two-way data communications over a single cable.
Devices can also be connected using a commercially available
ethernet cable instead of the included RRC2 cable.
• Be sure to connect the RRC2 OUT connector to a device with an
RRC2 IN connector. Use of the connection with LAN or other
devices may cause generation of heat and damage to the
equipment.
• Carefully connect the RRC2 cable the way in—until it is firmly
to the RRC2 IN connector.
• Do not subject the RRC2 cable to stress or physical shock.
• If using commercially available ethernet cable as the RRC2
connecting cable, be sure that the cable meets the following
specifications:
•
Category 5 (Cat5) or above
•
Maximum length of 15 meters
•
Cable designed for straight-through connection.
*
Ethernet cables designed for crossover connections cannot be used.
If connecting the VB-99 with an FC-300 using an RRC2 cable, make
