Hey there, my apologies for clogging up the board with newbie kinds of issues.
I'm trying to use the midi OUT of my axe fx 3 to control preset/scenes/tuner on my axe fx 2. My rhythm guitar player just needs really simple patches clean/dirty/etc. I have my Axe fx 3 connected to the axe fx 2 with a 5 pin midi cable from the MIDI OUT of the axe fx 3, to the MIDI IN of the axe fx 2. My axe fx 2 is set to midi channel 1 and my axe fx 3 is set to midi channel 1.
My understanding is that the scene midi block can load a preset using PC messages then i can use other scene CC messages to change scenes etc along with the scenes that I'm using on my FC12 that is connected to my axe fx 3.
HOWEVER, currently I'm not able to get the midi block to actually make any changes in the axe fx 2. For example, setting the scene 1 PC command to channel 1, value 1 does not load any presets in the axe fx 2 either when i 'test' the midi command.
Is there something I'm doing wrong to have the axe fx 3 send midi PC/CC to the axe fx 2? Is there a setting on either the axe fx 3 or axe fx 2 that I need to be enabling to allow external control?
Admittedly I'm relatively new to midi, so it could completely be user error, and again my apologies.
