Wish Send MIDI Clock

Please implement the ability to send midi clock out. There’s a tap tempo BUILT INTO THE FC-12/Axe FX 3 and it’s ridiculous that you cant use the FC-12 tap tempo to send midi clock to an external device in your rack. The only option currently is to purchase a third party footswitch and use that...

SOLVED: Lights not lighting up when changing presets. MIDI controller only.

I finally figured it out. On the IA Switches Tab, the GBL column needed to be set to "no" instead of "yes."

Does the MFC do this? Bank down or up scrolls through presets

You can also name your presets to match the name of your midi device presets.

SOLVED: Lights not lighting up when changing presets. MIDI controller only.

Yeah, all of the effects are in the correct state. The state is loaded with the Helix preset, not sent from the MFC upon preset change. The lights were working properly before. Im not sure what I changed.

I use the MFC-101 exclusively as a MIDI controller. Having just updated the software on the MFC as well as on my effects processor, I changed some of the settings and now the appropriate lights don't light up when I change presets. Whenever I push a switch, it stays lit when I change presets...

The MFC can scroll through more presets than that. My MFC is used strictly as a MIDI controller for the Line 6 Helix. I use the up/down buttons to scroll through the Helix' 128 presets… :) If I wanted to go crazy I could assign 2 of the numbered switches to bank up and down. Then I would have 8...
