"Invalid Op Code: 78"

What the heck does THAT mean??? I kept getting Error 17 trying to update my MFC firmware. Remembered past troubles with updates and reset the MIDI buffer delay to 90. Now I'm getting "Invalid Op Code: 78" on my MFC display. Why can't firmware updates ever be easy on this thing? Please...

New Wall Wart needed. Quick.

It's plugged into the Axe FX with 7 pin MIDI powering the MFC. But my Axe FX is the only thing in the rack, so I need to plug and unplug on a nightly basis.

New Wall Wart needed. Quick.

Hi all. I have the MFC, and I power it via 7-pin MIDI cable. The wall wart power adaptor which shipped with the MFC (very flimsy, btw) is getting pretty beat up after regular gigging. I need a new one, but I can't find one at the Fractal Store, and the manual explicitly says that we should...

CAT5 Cable issues

No error message, just patch # without names. I did remove the MIDI cable (a bad cable is why I decided to try the CAT5). I am in Axe FX II mode. Thanks!

CAT5 Cable issues

Hi all I picked up a Cat 5 cable to run between the fractal and the MFC. It provides power to the unit but there's no communication between them; the patch names don't display, and the switches don't cycle patches or otherwise affect the fractal unit itself. I set up the MFC to Expansion...

Looper CC#

I really dislike looper mode. Let's just get that out into the open! For what I do it's very unwieldy. What I'm wondering is if I can assign looper controls to buttons that I'm not using on the MFC for other things. For instance: I use 1-5 for scenes in each patch. Could I set up buttons...

FX Loop, mono looper signal

Howdy all, After trying to futz around with looper mode I decided a simpler approach would be better for my gigs; I bought a Ditto Loop Pedal (a perfect little device) and ran it into the FX loop on my Axe-FX II. Signal flow: Axe FX II Output 2 L----->Ditto In----->Ditto Out----->Axe FX II...

Using Scenes and Looper - Any advice on how to approach this?

Looking through my manuals I'm not seeing anything that says you can "move" looper functions. The Looper Mode pages in the MFC manual give me the distinct impression that they're "permanent" switch locations. Am I missing something? Can you actually assign looper functions now? That would be...

X/Y switching... Am I missing something?

OK, I admit I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed and maybe the answer is staring me straight in the face... But how does one do X/Y switching on the MFC? :roll

Looper and programming External Switches

Hi all, I've been using an RC-50 Looper for years, and I just got my Axe FX II and MFC-101. I'm trying to conserve space on my pedalboard, i.e. I'm wanting to use the Fractal instead of the RC for looping. Sooooo... I got a couple of Boss FS generic footswitches and have connected them to...

Message In A Bottle HARMONY?

This is why I'm SOOO looking forward to getting my Axe FX II... The community support! I know when I saw the Police in Denver (Javajunkie, were you there...?) a few years ago I noticed the harmony right away. The live DVD and CD they put out after that tour has the harmony as well. So the...

Message In A Bottle HARMONY?

1. Just ordered my Axe FX II and am SUPER psyched!!!! 2. Been looking for an Andy Summers patch that includes the harmony on Message in a Bottle. I did a search on the forums and turned up a lot of folks talking about flanger and comp, but nothing about the harmony. So I'm left thinking one...

Syncing 2 Fractal Loops?

All loops would be performed and recorded live and on the fly. The idea would be to start playing the song, loop a passage, then layer different parts over the passages. Each of us would be playing individual parts and switching instruments after the loops were done recording.

Syncing 2 Fractal Loops?

Hi all, My co-axe-slinger in my band and I are in cahoots to pick up AxeFX II units... One for each of us! Woohoo! Anyway, the question I had was this: Would we be able to loop individual parts on our respective units and somehow link them, via MIDI or other magic spell, such that they...

Primarily acoustic guitarist looking for guidance....

I'm in a band where my primary instrument is acoustic guitar; I will occasionally be switching duties with the bassist, and possibly playing some electric. The Axe-FXII is on my wish list, but I wonder how well it will represent/replace my current acoustic preamp (Tonebone PZ-Pre), how well it...
