Axe 2 as midi interface question

[Keg8605]

What I want to accomplish is sending midi, pc, cc commands from liquid foot> to axe fx > to macbook pro mainstage. So after stumbling up another thread mentioning USB adapter mode. My understanding is this should be set to off if I want the axe to only send midi to my macbook right?

Also, will it be faster to send midi through usb or will it be the same as using the midi out/thru port into my saffire pro audio/midi interface?

Searched around for some threads but did not find what I was looking for.

Thanks

No, it should be on. If you don't want the LF commands passed to the Out/thru port, turn MIDI thru off.

Not sure if there's any significant difference in latency via USB & Out/thru. You could record both simultaneously and check.
