    MFC won't receive Midi-Channel sysex msg (0x17) or AXEFX2 does not send it.

    Was wondering if anyone knows of anything that would prevent the Midi Channel msg being sent or even blocked? ie: does something else need to be enabled first or if something else is running this prohibits teh channle msg???

    MFC won't receive Midi-Channel sysex msg (0x17) or AXEFX2 does not send it.

    I have a home-made MFC (midi Foot Controller). It uses a Teensy 3.6 MPC. It performs most tasks adequately (ie: change Preset/Scene, read Reset name, toggle individual effects on/off etc). However - I'm trying to get it to detect if the AXEFX 2 is switched on - before it starts running the main...

    Accurate way to determine if a block supports X/Y switching
