MIDI Parameters
9.3
The MIDI page of the I/O menu contains parameters related to MIDI channel, thru, and program changes.
PARAMETER
Description
MIDI CHANNEL
1–16, OMNI
Sets the channel on which the Axe-Fx II will receive MIDI messages. OMNI causes
the unit to respond to incoming messages on ANY channel.
MFC PORT (XL Only)
Disabled/FASLINK/EtherCON
Set this to the appropriate port when you have an MFC-101 MIDI Foot Controller
connected at either the “FASLINK” or “ETHERCON” port.
MFC ECHO TO MIDI OUT
(XL Only)
ON/OFF
MIDI signals received from an MFC-101 at the FASLINK or Ethernet/EtherCON jacks
are never passed to the MIDI THRU. When you want to pass MIDI from an MFC-101
to a downstream device, enable this option to create a “soft” MIDI Thru at the MIDI
OUT port of the Axe-Fx II XL/XL+.
MIDI THRU
(NON-XL Only)
OFF/ON
Turning this ON will cause MIDI data received at the MIDI IN port to be forwarded
to the MIDI OUT port, where it is
merged
with regular outbound MIDI—SysEx
dumps or Realtime Tuner/Tempo Sysex for example. Thru is disabled during
firmware update.
PROG CHANGE
ON/OFF
This parameter determines whether the Axe-Fx II will process or ignore incoming
MIDI program change messages.
MAPPING MODE
NONE/CUSTOM
This determines whether the Axe-Fx II will respond explicitly to MIDI program
change messages received, or whether it will re-map incoming program change
messages to load user-specified presets. For example, an incoming program change
message of 15 would normally recall preset 15 (or preset 16 if DISPLAY OFFSET is
on; see below). With Custom Mapping set up, program change message 15 might
be set to recall preset 100, or any other preset you choose.
MAP FROM/TO
PRESET/SCENE
0–127, 0–383, 1–8
These three parameters work to specify which preset and scene will be loaded for
each incoming program change message when
MAPPING MODE
is set to “CUSTOM.”
For example, if you select “15” for
MAP FROM
and
MAP TO
values of “100,” and “2”
incoming Program Change #15 will load Preset 100, scene 2 (or 101:2 if display
offset is on; see below).
SCENE REVERT
Selects between one of two behaviors for scene recall via MIDI.
OFF
(Default): Scene edits are
retained
across scene changes until you load an
entirely new preset or reload the current one. If you tweak Scene 1, switch to Scene
2, then back to scene 1, your tweaks will remain intact.
ON:
Scene edits are
lost
when you change the scene without saving first. So if you
tweak scene 1, switch to Scene 2, then back to Scene 1, Scene 1 will have reverted
to its previously saved state. This makes scene changes feel more like traditional
preset changes.
SYSEX ID (INFO ONLY)
This is
00 01 74
for the Axe-Fx II and cannot be modified.
DISPLAY OFFSET
0/1
Display Offset causes Axe-Fx II presets to appear to be numbered from 001 instead
of from 000. The offset does not change which preset is recalled by a given
Program Change message.
Note: Display Offset requires a corresponding setting in a
connected MFC-101 MIDI Foot Controller.
