Just as title say...I'm really interested in plug n' play capability and versatility.
Thank you very much
I don't think so, but you could always use MIDI but the communication will not be bi-directional
Correct, they are "dumb terminals" that have their own proprietary comm protocol that's specific to the III.Cliff said that the FCs don't speak MIDI. They are meant to be controllers for the Axe-FX III.
http://www.famcmusic.com/store/liquid-foot/LF-MiniMan...that really sucks. I would LOVE a simple, small, less expensive controller for my Axe II. I really just want to be able to be able to control the looper. Hard to justify the cost of the big MFC just for that...
I’m using this tonight. Super small, EV2 pedal with it. It’s perfect.Something like this maybe?

Man I hope so..... The AX8 switching system doesn't support this, and the Axe-Fx II/FC seems to be based on the AX8. I would hope that the flag-ship will have at least as many midi capabilities as the MFC-101.I use my MFC101 to also switch on/off my vocal effects on my Vocal processor (I dedicate one switch on the MFC for this as well as an expression foot pedal into the MFC to switch in/out my harmonies - would this not be possible anymore on the FC?
Outboard MIDI gear control is done through the new MIDI block in the III, which can be accessed from the FC. It’s more outboard MIDI control than the MFC has available so objectively the III + FC combination is better for outboard than the II + MFC combination.If I cant do the MIDI thing with the FC and Axe III then that is also out for me - Surly Fractal would not go backwards on the technology (even though they actually did with the AX8).

Bonus: outboard midi control works if you use a foot controller other than the FC too because it’s all done from the III now.
we honestly don't know the details of much right now. maybe they will? maybe they won't? i don't know.Why couldn't they port the new midi block to the current Axe's & include a midi out on the FC 6 & 12?

i think too many decisions are being made and hard opinions being formed 2 days after a product launch and without the gear even being shipped out yet.
sure, people want to make their decisions for the future too, but it's been 2 days.
