    using inbound (Rx) Program Change

    Hi there, did you ever get this to work? I can get incoming MIDI PC messages to the MFC change patches in Song 1 of a set, but if I change to the next song any program change messages revert the MFC back to song 1 in the set, does that make sense? So basically is there a way to via MIDI to...

    Updating Firmware Question

    That makes sense,, will I still have the same list of amps etc available after the update though even though they may sound slightly different?

    Updating Firmware Question

    Thanks for the quick reply, I just keep getting told 'it will sound different' so was worrying it would lose presets and the amps etc I use

    Updating Firmware Question

    So, one final question, if I backup current presets, system etc, then update firmware, does it erase the current presets in the unit and if so can they be loaded back in?

    Updating Firmware Question

    Thanks guys, yes I have plenty of back ups. So are you saying if you do a full backup it saves the current Firmware as well as everything else so you can do a full restore back to where you were?

    Updating Firmware Question

    Hi there I am currently running an Axe FX II XL+ with Quantum 8.02 firmware. This is rock solid so am a bit nervous about updating to Ares. My main concerns are, will it still be totally stable, will I lose my presets, amps etc and basically 'if it ain't bust' etc...is there any real need to...

    Connect Two MFC101 in Serie

    I do this every night. Connect the onstage board to the Axe FX via Cat5 or Faslink as usual, then connect the offstage board to the onstage board via midi. There are a few specific settings that need changing to make it solid but yes it works.

    Changing Scenes Via Midi

    Thanks for the quick replies. I used to have both boards connected to the Axe FX (stage via Cat 5, offstage via MIDI) and it caused all sorts of problems, especially if the artist trod on the Expression pedal during a patch change, absolute MIDI mayhem!! After lengthy discussions with Fractal...

    Changing Scenes Via Midi

    Hi there I am using an MFC 101 as a midi controller to change patches on the stage MFC 101 for an artist I work with. Patch changes all work fine, no problem there. The offstage MFC is set to Axe FX mode 'NONE' and is connected to the stage board via midi. What I am trying to do if it's...

    Using Two Controllers with Axe FX II XL+

    It's quite straight forward, I'm trying to do patch changes using a 2nd MFC offstage while there is one onstage as well. Kind of the same as running a show to timecode where everything is automated, lights, video and patch changes etc but I'm doing it manually without the timecode. I was using...

    Using Two Controllers with Axe FX II XL+

    As an update to this, after several phone calls with Tech Support and then to one of Metallica's techs I have it working, just about... Steps taken were: 1, First of all I persevered with both MFC's connected to the Axe as Fractal said this would work with a few adjustments. Example being...

    Using Two Controllers with Axe FX II XL+

    Right then, I now have the other unit and have connected it via MIDI to the XL+. The stage MFC is connected via Cat5. Everything seems fine and the 3 devices all talk to each other and update but I am getting MIDI conflicts. If different presets are selected quickly one after the other it goes...

    Using Two Controllers with Axe FX II XL+

    Great. It looks like I will probably be getting another MFC 101, so I assume the one onstage can run on the Cat 5 and the one by me can connect via Faslink (or MIDI) and they all talk to each other?

    Using Two Controllers with Axe FX II XL+

    Thanks for the replies. So do you just assign midi program change numbers to each patch and hey presto?

    Using Two Controllers with Axe FX II XL+

    Hi Folks, Is it possible to connect two MFC 101s or controllers to the Axe FX II XL+? I am teching for someone using the Axe unit and I need to do some patch changes from side of stage. Doing it via the onscreen menu is a bit of a faff, so I was thinking of either getting a second MFC that I...
