SPILLOVER IN SCENES
16.15.4
BYPASS MODE (on the MIX page of most block edit menus) determines how effects sound when bypassed by a
scene change. Familiarize yourself with each of the options by reviewing
Bypass Mode Parameters
(Section 5.37
on page 128). The Bypass Mode option “MUTE FX IN” creates natural spillover when a delay or reverb is bypassed.
See also the section entitled
Spillover Within a Single Preset
on p. 181.
SCENES AND MIDI
16.15.5
MIDI offers three ways to select scenes: Direct Selection, Increment/Decrement, and Program Change Mapping.
Direct Scene Selection…
Scenes can be selected directly using MIDI Control Change messages. SCENE SELECT in the I/O:CTRL menu
determines which CC# is used. The default is CC#34. The value of the CC message determines which scene is
selected. For the math-minded, the relationship between CC value and scene can be described as [(‘cc value’ mod
8) + 1]. For the rest of us, you can just use “scene number minus one,” consult the table at the end of this section,
or use the MFC-101, where none of this matters except knowing which scene you want to select (see below).
Note: CC values of 0 and 127—or a switch on the Axe-Fx “PEDAL” jack—will load scenes 1 and 8.
Scene Increment/Decrement…
MIDI CCs can also be used to step up or down through scenes. The entries SCENE INCR and SCENE DECR in the
I/O:CTRL menu designate CCs for each action . The defaults are CC#123:INCREMENT and CC#124:DECREMENT.
Values from 64-127 trigger the action while values from 0-63 are ignored.
Program Change to Scene Mapping…
The Axe-Fx II MIDI Program Change Map (See the Axe-Fx II Owner’s Manual, Section 9.3) has been updated so that
SCENE as well as PRESET can be mapped for each incoming program change message.
Ignore Redundant PC
(under
I/O: MIDI) must be
ON
for seamless scene changes via PC.
To use program changes for scene selection:
Set MAPPING MODE to “CUSTOM.”
Select an entry for MAP FROM PRESET.
Select the desired entries for MAP TO PRESET and MAP TO SCENE.
Like other I/O and Global parameters, the
CUSTOM Map
is dynamic and does not need to be saved.
Note: Custom Program Change mapping (with or without scenes) is incompatible with MFC-101
“TotalSync,” with Axe-Edit, and with certain Bank Dump and other MIDI Activities. Please set MAPPING
MODE back to “NORMAL” if you require compatibility with these features.
Scene Revert…
This option on the MIDI page of the I/O menu selects between one of two behaviors for scene recall via MIDI.
With
SCENE REVERT
“OFF” (default) modifications to the current Scene are “semi-permanent” across scene
changes. So if you tweak Scene 1, switch to Scene 2, then back to scene 1, your tweaks will remain intact—until
you load an entirely new preset or reload the current one.
