Instant access switches can send two control change messages. Internal
control changes can send one control change. The control change values
for these messages default to 0 = Off and 127 = On and are configurable.
Custom MIDI messages can also be used to send control change.

Instant access switches can send one program change command per
switch state (off/on). Presets can send up to 16 program change
messages, one per MIDI channel. Program change numbers are
displayed with a range of 0 to 999 or 1 to 1000. Program change
numbers are decomposed into a bank/program combination that gets
transmitted as a bank select message and program change message. A
receive program change map is available as is a transmit program
change map specifically for Axe-Fx. Custom MIDI messages can also be
configured to send program change.
MFC-101 sends a leading bank select control change message for every
program change except those configured under custom MIDI message
menus.
The MFC-101 receives Bank Select and Program Changes if this is
enabled (
). Incoming Bank Select messages alias around 384.

Presets can send one custom 16-byte MIDI message, which can be a
system exclusive message. Instant access switches can send one custom
16-byte MIDI message per switch state (off/on), which can be a system
exclusive message. These custom messages may be configured to send
the standard system exclusive messages marked with an X above. MFC-
101 also uses system exclusive for data dump and load, firmware
updates, and Axe-Fx synchronization.
