 You can easily program the FC by itself, even tho it's just got a 2-digit 
led screen. It's really not cryptic. Program-change mode can be set to 
send 
bank select messages or not, but the pedal/number  relationship seems 
fixed 
(this is not my mode, remember...). CC#s can be changed for all 
controllers, 
footswitches can be set to latch or momentary, octave range but not note 
assignments can be switched in note mode using a pedal in one of the 6 
jacks, 
and MIDI Machine Control and Realtime messages can be sent  instead of 
CC#'s 
by any footswitch, and there's a limited amount of function overlap, so 
you 
can have a bit of everything in program change mode. Sysex mode seems to 
be 
only for storage and swapping between other FC-200s.
Hope that helps.
