Four Simultaneous Channels of 48k/24-bit Audio from the Axe-Fx II to the Computer
Four outputs, typically called IN 0, IN 1, IN 2, and IN 3, allow audio to be routed from the Axe-Fx II to the computer,
recorded, processed, or monitored.
The signal source for the first pair of outputs is selectable. The
USB/DIGI OUT SOURCE
parameter of the I/O:AUDIO
menu (p.
135
) determines what is sent to the computer’s AXE-FX II ASIO DRIVER IN 0/1 inputs.
Selecting
OUTPUT 1 L+R
sends the main processed output of the Axe-Fx II to the computer.
The same signal is, of course, still routed normally to the rear XLR and unbalanced jacks.
Selecting
OUTPUT 2 L+R
sends the output of the FX loop block (p.
66
) to the computer.
Selecting
MAIN INPUT
sends the source selected under
MAIN INPUT SELECT
(p.
135
) to the computer.
The same result can be obtained by using OUTPUT 1 with a “shunts-only” preset (p.
29
).
Switching
INPUT 1 LEFT SELECT
(p.
135
) to “REAR” allows you to record the line level outputs of a
microphone preamp, keyboard, or any other sound source via the rear INPUT 1 L/R jacks.
The second pair of channels, available only on systems supporting USB 2.0 (see
Minimum Requirements
above),
always provides a way to simultaneously record a “dry” track for reamping. The source for these channels is the
unprocessed signal from the main input (i.e. the front
INSTR
jack or the rear
INPUT1 L/MONO
jack,
depending on both what is selected under
INPUT 1 LEFT SELECT
(p.
135
)) and the rear
INPUT1 R
jack).
Warning:
As with all input/output systems, certain routing configurations can result
in audio feedback loops. Please exercise
care not to route active outputs to active inputs, or damage could occur to connected amps, speakers, or your hearing.
Two-way High-Speed MIDI Communication
MIDI enables the Axe-Fx II and the computer to communicate and synchronize, with capabilities for program
change, parameter automation, tempo sync, SysEx dump/receive, firmware update, and more. MIDI over USB is
considerably faster than “legacy” MIDI
1
, and allows two-way communication with the computer over a single
cable.
Axe-Edit, our free companion editor/librarian, can now be used without a 3
rd
-party MIDI Interface or drivers, a
cause of common problems.

The transfer rate for the new connection is roughly faster than standard MIDI. Keep in mind that new preset, bank, and firmware sizes have
also increased considerably. Despite this, there is a net increase in the speed of computer interaction when compared to previous products.
