I'm trying to program my MFC101 (Mk3) to control my AxeFX3, but am having a really hard time with getting it to work. I'm not an expert in MIDI and have previously just used my AxeFX2 with FASLink, so that was very easy to configure. With the AxeFX3 however, I am using single direction MIDI (MFC MIDI Out to AxeFX3 MIDI In) and the only functionality I want to achieve is:
1) Change presets, preferably using the BankUP and BankDown
2) Switch between Scenes 1 and 5 using the bottom row of buttons (as with the AxeFX2 Mode)
3) Bypass effects using IA6 - IA15
I can get the bypass effects to work fine, however when I try the Scene buttons (just 1 and 2 for example) or try change presets then my AxeFX3 mutes completely and I get no signal from it.
I have tried to detail the setup that I have done below, with this config I am trying to get just the preset switching to work, and Scene 1 and Scene 2 as a starting point.
MFC is on FW3.08, and AxeFX3 is on latest FW too. I have also tried the following methods but neither have worked for me, so I must be missing something but I don't know what.
