The USB 2.0 class-compliant driver provides two channels of 48k/24-bit audio from the computer to the Axe-Fx II,
up to four channels from the Axe-Fx II to the computer, and two-way MIDI-over-USB. All features can be used
simultaneously.

Audio and MIDI ports (shown in the lower half of the dotted-outline box above) have different names on different
systems. In many applications, you can also assign “friendly names” to audio and MIDI ports.
Two Simultaneous Channels of 48k/24-bit Audio from the Computer to the Axe-Fx II
Two outputs, typically called OUT 0 and OUT 1, allow audio to be sent from the computer to the Axe-Fx II where it
can be mixed with processed signal at the main outputs or routed through onboard effects.
To pass unprocessed computer audio through the Axe-Fx II, set the
MAIN INPUT SELECT
(p.
135
) to “ANALOG
(IN1)” (the default setting) or “SPDIF/AES.” This allows you, for instance, to play along with backing tracks or use
the Axe-Fx II as a high quality “soundcard.”
To process computer audio with the onboard effects, set the
MAIN INPUT SELECT
to “USB.” Signals received will
arrive at the grid INPUT. This allows you, for instance, to re-amp a dry track, or use the Axe-Fx II to process other
audio or plugin tracks. It is possible to simultaneously record the processed output on the computer using the Axe-
Fx II audio inputs (0/1).
