Overview This document explains how to use a Behringer FCB1010 MIDI Foot Controller with the Korg Pa2X PRO 76-Key Arranger Keyboard. You can control the essential Style Elements on the Pa2X remotely by using the FCB1010 device. Additionally, you can connect a weighted 88-key Stage Piano like the Roland RD-700GX utilizing the MIDI Merge function of the FCB1010 device. By setting a split point on the RD-700GX you can trigger fingered chords on the Pa2X right from your RD-700GX Keyboard Controller. This allows complete hands free operation of the Pa2X.
