Selecting any preset on the MFC will reset the state machine. It is only rated for 1A and if you burn out the port we won't cover that under warranty. MIDI can be used for communications only 5 pins , or communications plus phantom power 7 pins. A high quality MIDI cable is required.
To receive tuner and tempo data, all pins of a 5-pin MIDI cable must be connected. Many low-cost MIDI cables just have 3 pins connected and are not properly shielded, resulting in crosstalk.
All pins must be wired pins 6 and 7 carry power. You can't use both ports simultaneously. Connecting the power supply to the Axe-Fx II is not required. Split merge works in theory, but there can be hiccups. One MFC can respond to program changes from another, but the two units won't appear to be in any kind of sync".
Read the Quick Start Guide. G66 provides several tutorials. All firmware release notes can be found here: Firmware release notes - MFC Note that there are different firmware files for the various hardware models. The update process requires a MIDI interface. An upgrade may require you to reset the MFC to its factory settings. If so, it will be stated in the release notes.
To reset the MFC, power on while holding switch Note: this erase all configured settings. This makes sure the Axe-Fx II is not transmitting stuff which could interfere with the update process.
To disable this behavior [7] :. Make a backup of the initialized MFC with all PCs off, so you can avoid ever needing to do this again, no matter what setup you require in the future.
The MFC won't display tuner data when using an external switch to turn on the tuner. It will be displayed on the Axe-Fx's screen though. When the Tuner on the Axe-Fx is set to anything other than its first page, the message "Waiting for tuner" appears.
This does not work with external switches. Many MIDI controllers only store presets. There is no correlation between the number of presets on a MIDI controller and the device being controlled.
Here's how. The MFC defaults to 5 presets per bank. It can be set to any number. Preset switches start from the bottom row by default. You can change this using the parameter FirstPresetSwitch. This lets you specify where the presets start on the board preceding switches automatically are IA switches.
You may need access to just a subset of all available banks on the MFC The Global Preset preset can now be recalled at any time by pressing a preset switch a 2nd time. Pressing the preset another time 3rd time returns you to the previous preset. However, if you press another preset switch instead not the one from which you switched to the Global Preset , that preset will be recalled. Turn off Global Preset if you want to be able to recall a preset in its saved state by pressing a preset switch a second time see: Panic switch.
Read this: Wicked Wiki article. Pressing a preset switch a second time lets you activate another preset, which can be different per preset. This is an alternative to using a Global Preset see above or Backtracking see below. Set this in the Preset menu on the MFC Backtracking means that a pressing a preset switch a second time will recall the previous preset. Backtracking always recalls scene 1. For example, if you want the first 5 preset switches on the MFC to switch to preset , scenes , use Mapping.
You can assign up to 15 presets per song, depending on the Bank Size setting. The MFC supports up to songs. Preset switches in Songs can be set to OFF. You can also use Song Mode to circumvent a limitation of the regular preset mode.
In Preset Mode banks have no names, you have to remember which presets are in numbered banks. However, if you assign presets to songs in Song Mode, maintaining the bank structure, you can name them. An alternative to Song Mode: use Scenes. In Axe-Fx Mode, the IA switches operate globally, meaning that you cannot change switch assignments per preset.
When you've assigned an effect to a switch, it enables or bypasses that effect. If you select "None", the switch is not assigned to specific Axe-Fx functionality. Search titles only.
