5.5.4 Controlling the StudioLive 16.0.2 with a Roland FC-300
Roland FC-300 Patch Mode offers many flexible ways for you to control your
StudioLive 16.0.2. Each patch allows you to assign multiple MIDI controls to any
of the four control pedals. In this example, we will create a patch that instantly
recalls a Scene, and we will assign to other pedals an FXA preset recall and
the FXA assignment to the Main bus. Finally, one expression pedal will control
the FXA output level, while the other will control the Main output volume.
This tutorial will show you how to quickly configure your StudioLive 16.0.2 so that
you can control it with a Roland FC-300. The setup configuration detailed here is
just an example; you can customize your own setup using these simple steps.
Each section in this tutorial will focus on a particular setup area. In order for a
FC-300 to control a StudioLive as described below, you must complete the steps
in each section of this tutorial. Once you have completed the tutorial, you will
have a new patch on your FC-300 that controls your StudioLive as follows:
• CTL1: Recall Preset F10:Concrete Floors on FXA
• CTL2: Assign/Unassign FXA to Main bus
• Expression Pedal 1: FXA Output level
• Expression Pedal 2: Main Output level
Setting Up the StudioLive to be Controlled with MIDI
You must first set up your StudioLive to be remotely controlled by the footpedal.
In this example, we are setting up the StudioLive to receive Scene changes
on MIDI Channel 1, FXA preset changes on MIDI Channel 2, and FXB preset
changes on MIDI Channel 3. In general, you should set up your StudioLive so
that each library (Scene, FXA, FXB) is receiving Program Change messages
on its own MIDI channel. The danger of having, for example, Scene Recall
and FXA preset recall on the same MIDI channel is that when you change to
Scene 3, you will change the FXA preset to F3: Closet at the same time!
For our example, we also have the output levels and FXA/FXB Assign to Mains
on their own MIDI channel (Channel 4). For your setup, it is perfectly fine to have
these control share a MIDI channel with one of the recall groups. As previously
mentioned, these parameters are controlled using Control Change messages,
not Program Change messages, so there is no chance of a conflict—unless
you assign the same CC message to two different StudioLive parameters.
Besides setting your MIDI channels and Control Change messages,
you will also need to set MIDI Control Mode to On and make sure the
MIDI Source is set to the StudioLive’s MIDI Input. Section 7.5.8 in the
StudioLive Software Library Reference Manual will show you how to
control your StudioLive via FireWire using Studio One Artist.
Before setting up your FC-300, you must set up your StudioLive for this example.
