USB ADAPTER MODE
ON/OFF
This setting changes the way MIDI data is handled between the computer and the
physical MIDI IN/OUT and MFC ports of the Axe-Fx II.
When Set to OFF:
1.
Inbound
MIDI
data at the MIDI IN or MFC ports is processed by the Axe-Fx II.
2.
Inbound
MIDI-over-USB
data sent via the
AXE-FX II MIDI OUT
port of a
connected computer is processed by the Axe-Fx II.
When Set to ON:
1.
Inbound
MIDI
data at the MIDI IN or MFC ports is processed by the Axe-Fx II
and also forwarded to the
AXE-FX II MIDI OUT
port of a connected computer.
a.
Use this so your host sequencer/DAW can record the MIDI data
generated by an expression pedal connected to the MFC-101.
b.
Use this to connect a MIDI keyboard or other device to the MIDI IN
port of the Axe-Fx II and play plugins or record performances in
your host sequencer/DAW.
2.
Inbound
MIDI-over-USB
data sent via the
AXE-FX II MIDI OUT
port of a
connected computer is processed by the Axe-Fx II and also forwarded to the
MIDI OUT and MFC ports.
a.
Use this so your host sequencer/DAW can also control devices
chained at the MIDI OUT/THRU port of the Axe-Fx II: synth
modules, 3
rd
-party processors, etc.
b.
Use this to send SysEx backups or firmware updates to an MFC-101
connected at the MFC port.
Note that the USB ADAPTER MODE function is completely independent of the setting
for MIDI THRU (above). It is therefore possible, with both settings turned ON, for the
physical MIDI OUT/THRU port to sum/output
four different sources
simultaneously:
1) The Axe-Fx II regular MIDI out functions; 2) events received at the MIDI IN port; 3)
events received at the MFC port; and 4) events received via
AXE-FX II MIDI OUT
from
a connected computer. Adapter mode is disabled during firmware updates.
MIDI PC OFFSET
0–255
Adds the value specified to all incoming MIDI Program Change requests before they
are processed. This makes it possible, for instance, for the same foot controller
programs to access presets 0-127 for one gig, presets 128-255 for another, and
presets 256-383 for a third.
EXT CTRL # INIT VAL
0% OR 100%
This specifies an initial value to be used for each of the 12 External Controllers (p.
132
) until remote data is received. This also applies when the controller is absent. For
example, if you normally use an expression pedal to control the
VOLUME
block in a
particular preset, the absence of that pedal might mean that the preset gets “stuck”
in a silent position. Setting an initial value of 100% for the EXTERNAL CONTROLLER
mapped to that pedal would ensure that when the pedal is not connected, the
volume will be all the way up instead of all the way off.
