First I got a FC-6, because it seemed like my number would never come up on the FC-12 waitlist.
But my number did come and I got the FC-12. Put the FC-6 aside with the thought that I could use it for tight stage setups or maybe sell it.
I had the FC-12 set up to toggle specific effects blocks, with the hold function used to advance through channels on each effect so I could choose sounds. This turned out to be pretty cumbersome when you're on stage and you know the sound you want but it takes time to get to the right channel for it.
So I pulled out the FC-6 again and came up with a strategy. Any time you select an effect on the FC-12 it pulls up a layout on the FC-6 that gives you up/down control for the channels of that effect, along with the other effects in its group.
I think I've ended up with something that's pretty good. I'm sure it will evolve but right now it gives me fast access to effects with a minimum of tap dancing.
So two videos. The first is how I've got my FC-12 set up, and the second is how I use the FC-6 in concert with the FC-12. My apologies for bad videos, and the brain dead pauses as I try to explain things, and the occasional mis-speak. Hopefully things will be clear despite these, but feel free to ask questions.
