Hello,

Something curious happened: my III forgot its MIDI settings. Channel back to one; all cc’s set back to none.

Anyone experienced this too? Any clues?

Did you recently update firmware or reset system parameters?

I’ve never had the Axe3 suddenly change anything without me changing anything.

Or the battery has come loose. Easily checked by entering MIDI info and then restarting the unit.

Nope - that’s why I found it so curious.

Checked it - switched it on and off, but the midi info is still here. Could the battery discharge when the III is unplugged for some days?

And in any case, big thank you guys for you prompt help & suggestions!!

I have noticed exactly the same 2 times, few weeks ago. Since then its stable.
 
Now it has happened again. It forgot all the midi settings and does not load the first preset name on startup. It does not remember the midi settings after powering down and up again. Is this a battery issue? Should I contact G66? Or can I simply replace one without voiding my warranty?
 
I’ve had this happen 6-7 times in total, with 2 units.

Were you sending any midi messages from your computer or a midi foot controller, at the same time that you booted up your III?

My troubles seem to be tied to an event such as this.

I always backup with Fractal Bot every time I play.

I sent an e-mail to Sussi from G66.

Yes I suspect there is also a midi issue involved. The midi in light on the III was always on. And if i'd try learn mode, whatever button i would press on my LF+12+, the III would always use cc16 and then hang. CC16 is my expression pedal on external 1. When I unplugged that, the issue was gone. The LF+12+ would also boot strangely with flashing red status leds. I disconnected and reconnected the expression pedal, then the midi in light on the III was only reacting to real button presses. Also with the LF disconnected, the III would react normally and remember its settings.

Strange, isn't it?

Thanx a zillion for your help, guys!
