    Sysex checksum for entire preset

    The formula to calculate the checksum for each Sysex message is documented and easy enough. But how is the checksum for an entire preset calculated? It's a 16-bit word (in 3 MIDI bytes) at the final Sysex message at the end of each preset. It's obviously not the same as the message Sysex, since...

    AX8 PC Bank Select

    NM. I see there's a MIDI setting in each preset which chooses the MIDI PC. Not sure if that's for send AND receive or just send, but I'll figure it out. Annoying that every one is defaulted to PC 0 instead of the actual Bank/Preset #, but oh well...

    AX8 PC Bank Select

    Exactly. They don’t actually have an Editor anymore for the Axe-FX. (Although they did at first! I know all about the issues, so no need to go there) There are just lots of different remote controls. I sincerely hope there will be a proper editor for their flagship product.

    Routing/MIDI Question

    We use the MIDI out on an Axe-FX II with the MFC-101 connected and it works fine. The MFC-101's commands get passed through to the MIDI out on the Axe-FX. Might have to check settings on the Axe-FX to enable the pass-through (can't remember if there's a setting) but it definitely works.

    The Same Old Midi Download Issues Every Time........

    I don't see how the problems you are having are related to the Axe-FX or MFC. The USB connector on the Axe-FX is just a MIDI to USB adapter that doubles as an Audio to USB adapter. No different than your external USB to MIDI adapter, with all the same conveniences as well as issues. If you would...
  71. Mr.X

    Does anyone know anything about the USB driver?

    Axe-Edit can work over the MIDI connections as well as USB, (I've tested this) so you may be doing this in a harder way than you have to. Get an iConnectMIDI4+ or a Kiss-Box and a cheap AP. Install RTP-MIDI on your computer, configure it and Axe-Edit to use RTP-MIDI and away you go.

    I use this to connect to various MIDI devices wirelessly. Haven't tried it with the Axe-FX though.

    I know that (for some reason) firmware for the USB port on the Axe-FX gets loaded to the USB hardware in the Axe-FX when you plug it into a Windows machine or Mac.
