Owner’s Manual
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. Please review the
StudioLive 16.0.2 USB Software Library Reference Manual for information
on how to control your StudioLive via USB using Studio One Artist.
Before setting up your FC-300, you must set up your StudioLive for this example.
Navigate to Pages 3 and 4 of your StudioLive system menu
and set each page up as shown in these images:
Creating a New Patch on the Roland FC-300
Now that your StudioLive is set up to communicate with the Roland FC-
300, you will need to create a new patch. Remember, you must follow
all of the steps in this tutorial to control your StudioLive as previously
described. At the end of this tutorial, we’ll discuss how to name and
save your new patch so you can use it again in the future.
Instant Scene Recall
1. Press the Mode button until the Patch Mode LED is illuminated.
2. Making sure the red LED is illuminated on the
first row of pedals, depress Pedal 1/6.
3. Press the right Parameter button. The LCD will display “PATCH: On MIDI.”
4. Press the Write button so that the LCD displays “Edit MIDI.”
5. Press the Write button again. You will see “001: ----- -----.“
6. Press the right Parameter button.
7. Press the Value Up button so that the LCD displays “001:PC CH#01 PC#001.”
8. The first field defaults to Program Change (“PC”). This is how the
StudioLive recalls Scenes, so you can leave this field as it is.
9. Use the right Parameter button to move to the next field: MIDI channel number.
10. Set the MIDI channel to 1.
11. Use the right Parameter button to move to the next field: Program Change
number. The number you enter will determine which Scene will be recalled.
