PARAMETER
Description
MIDI PC Offset
Adds a specified value to all incoming MIDI Program Change requests before
they are processed. This makes it possible, for instance, to address alternate
presets in different “registers”. You might use the same MIDI messages to
access presets 1–16 for a gig with one guitar, and —by specifying an offset
of +16— use presets 17–32 for a different guitar without re-programming your
controller.
PC Mapping
PC Mapping determines whether incoming MIDI Program Change messages
load presets 1-for-1, or load other presets and scenes instead. With PC
Mapping turned “OFF”, presets are loaded 1:1 based on incoming MIDI bank
Select and Program Change messages. With custom PC Mapping enabled,
incoming Program Change messages are re-mapped according to the values in
the table on the Custom page of the MIDI/Remote menu (see below).
INITIAL VALUE:
External Control 1–16
These sixteen parameters specify the initial value to be used for each of the
16 External Controllers (
) when the Axe-Fx III is powered on. This value
persists until data is received from the MIDI controller. This is especially useful
when an external MIDI controller is absent. For example, if you normally use an
expression pedal to control the volume in your presets, a missing pedal might
make the preset get “stuck” in a muted 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 stay at 100% instead of 0%. This setting
is only for controllers with a MIDI CC# assignment. It does not apply to local or
FC pedals or switches.
MIDI/REMOTE: MAPPING PAGE
With PC Mapping enabled (see above), incoming Program Change messages are re-mapped according to the
values in the table in this section.

Description
Map to Preset
Map to Scene
When PC Mapping (above) is turned “ON”, the parameters in this table specify
which preset and scene are loaded for each incoming MIDI PC message.

MIDI/REMOTE: BYPASS PAGE
The Bypass page of the MIDI menu allows you to map MIDI CC messages—or connected pedals and switches— to
bypass or engage blocks. CC messages can be sent by a MIDI controller or computer connected to the MIDI IN
