IGNORE REDUNDANT PC
OFF/ON
This determines whether the Axe-Fx II should re-process or ignore a MIDI program
change command for the currently loaded preset. With this setting OFF, the current
preset will be reloaded (and changes discarded) if it is selected again via MIDI PC.
Turning this OFF allows you, for instance, to load a preset, use various MIDI “instant
Access” switches or pedals to bypass effects or otherwise modify the sound, and
then stomp on the footswitch that originally selected the preset to have it revert to
its saved state. With this setting ON, redundant PC messages are ignored.
SEND REALTIME SYSEX
NONE/ALL/TUNER/TEMPO
Selectively determines whether real-time SysEx messages for TUNER and TEMPO
will appear at the MIDI OUT port. The default setting of ALL ensures that a
connected MFC-101 Midi Foot Controller will be able to show the Axe-Fx II Tuner
on the floor, and that its TEMPO LED will flash in time with the current Axe-Fx II
system tempo.
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.
