    Fixed Why Cant I set Differing Parameters between Scenes?

    Yes its always been a little flaky, but it got worse. I was able to put my mouse over the fields that were incorrect and it would update, not any more. Now when you load a program, only the default scene is displayed regardless of which scene you change it to.

    It appears that axe edit isn't refreshing the midi block values when changing a scene within a preset. Hardware is OK though. I'm on the latest firmware and axe edit.

    how to switch Amp Boost via midi?

    Yes external controllers are scene independent. If you want to use scenes to control the boost switch in the amp block you can use a scene controller instead. But you can only use one or the other method at the same time, not both. If you were using an external switch on the back of the AxeFx...

    how to switch Amp Boost via midi?

    Yes Assign the boost switch to an external controller, assign the external controller to a CC, Send a 127 value value from your midi controller to that CC on the same midi channel the axe is using to turn it on and a 0 (or 1) to turn it off.

    No not really, its supposed to be FRFR, it has a tweeter, and you use IR's with it. Resonant frequency really comes from the cabinet. 200 watts is not low power. The claim to fame on this one is that it supposed to "feel" like a guitar speaker more than standard FRFR speakers.

    FC layout selection in Axe-Edit and on the FC-12 not in sync?

    A bit stumped by Ares on Axe-Fx II XL ...

    Downgrading the hardware is not a problem, its just a firmware update. However, if you have saved your presets in a newer firmware they often won't work at all with the older firmware and you will need to restore them from an older backup.

    Bug? New FC-12... odd behaviour with bank size adjustments

    How are folks connecting the MFC-101 (Mark III) to the Axe-Fx III?

    How are folks connecting the MFC-101 (Mark III) to the Axe-Fx III?

    Faslink (XLR) will not work. The MFC uses a different version of Faslink than the III. You must use a midi cable. According to the manual it uses 9V AC out adaptor, not DC, so the wiring shouldn't matter but you need to have the correct connector and be able to handle 10 watts.
