If you have any questions or problems with getting the MFC-101 set up, don’t hesitate to post questions. I got a lot of questions answered here on the forum when I first started setting mine up, and it didn’t take long to set it up. Not long at all.
Thank you so much for the detailed post! It really helped me and I appreciate it.
I actually have my Axe FXIII and MFC-101 working pretty well with each other, with a few exceptions:
1. I can change presets fine, but if I step on the bank up button the light will go on and stay on even if I step on the down bank button next. Now both lights are on and stay on no natter what. Stepping on either one won't turn either light off.
2. I set up IAs 11 through 15 for the Looper functions. Everything works, but if you step on any of the IAs the light will go on and stay on even if you hit another IA. Everything works but it gets really confusing when using the looper.
3. So to try and correct this I tried setting up IA switches 11 through 15 as a Linked set. This did not work at all. I could step on the record button and recording would start, but if I stepped on any other button everything just stopped. No sound at all, even if I stepped on the record button again. Only one light would be on at a time, but nothing worked in the Looper. I unlinked the 5 IAs and all of the looper functions worked right again, with the exception of the lights not syncing.
4. I linked the 5 IAs I am using for scenes and set it to scene revert and only one light is on for the scene I selected. So that works perfectly. I can change scenes fine and whatever effects I had turned on in that scene are on when I select that scene. So scenes seem to work normally, with the exception of the lights not reflecting what individual effects are on correctly.
5. I have not yet tried to use the reveal button to try the Looper buttons from there, since I set up IAs 11 through 15 to control the looper functions.
6. Something happened last night that freaked me out until I figured out why it was happening. Normally when I selected a preset from the front panel of the Axe FXIII I paged over to presets and selected it from there just scrolling up and down. I tried the alphabetically ordered list for the first time last night and selected a preset that way. After doing that when I tried to change presets on the MFC-101 everything was all mixed up. Preset 1 was not preset 1 any more. Preset 1 might be say 121 and preset 2 might be 384, etc. Totally scrambled up. I went back to the front panel and paged over to presets and unselected the Alphabetically ordered list and everything went back to normal when selecting presets from the MFC-101.
7. The names of the presets don't show up on the MFC-101.
The above are the only issues I have run into so far. I've been trying to figure out which can be fixed by programming the MFC-101 in the right manner, and which cannot.
