This may be a dumb question ..can you still switch scenes without an MFC. I know they can be incrementally changed up or down via midi. But what about choosing a particular scene?
One other "disadvantage", if you can call it that: You will forget to hit the REVEAL button. You will be at a show. There will be people watching. You'll think you changed scenes when you actually changed songs...
Questions are never dumb. The answer is yes! You can download the scenes mini-manual here:

Page 3 – Scenes and MIDI – has a paragraph right at the top about direct selection of scenes. I have one mode of my Yamaha MFC10 dedicated to direct scene selection; works a charm. Hope this helps.
Where did you get these? I also use an X-15 (works great) but I worry I'll need an optical strip one of these days......
Im still using an ART Ultrafoot X-15 that I wired for phantom power. I had a bunch of those quadrature encoding strips that run the pedals ....
I can do that with one kick of an expression pedal, with the advantages noted above (OK, not modify the output volume but there are other ways to achieve similar) so I still don't see the benefit. Not dissing anyone for using scenes if it works for them; I just don't see any advantages except the ability to switch an FX block's X/Y state (which is pretty cool, I admit).
Just curious whether there's something really useful in Scenes that I've overlooked... :/
I originally got them from ART before they ran out. Im sure there is still a supplier out there somewhere. I have wondered if they could be printed on celluloidWhere did you get these? I also use an X-15 (works great) but I worry I'll need an optical strip one of these days...

Yes
I have an FCB1010 and an MFC. Both can pick an individual scene.
Is it correct that you can only use 1 amp? For example, I can't have 1 amp for scene 1 and then another amp for scene 2 can I?

Here's what I don't understand: I use presets, only. However, I have my overdrive, compressor, effects, etc. in an on/off state via the various foot switches on the MFC-101. I often set the X/Y switch to different amps or the same amp but with different settings. In addition, I have three Mission foot pedals connected to control various parameters.
With the above configuration in mind, would I, too, benefit from reconfiguring all of my patches into scenes?
Chris, how do I get around REVEAL? Thanks!
