Hi everyone
I recently bought an Axe fx 3 v1 for use in my home studio. I've upgraded from the Boss GX-100 I've been using.
Not wishing for extra outlay, it seems a good idea to me, to use the Boss as a MIDI controller for the Axe fx 3. It has an expression pedal, 8 footswitches and 2 extra control switch options via jack.
I don't need anything complicated, just the option to switch sounds via programs or scenes during a recording, really.
Let me say first that I have a Digitech GNX-3000 that I have connected via midi to the Axe fx 3, and it changes programmes and banks on the Axe perfectly well, if a bit slow.
Apparently, the GNX does not output CC commands, so it must be doing this via PC program change. I have not had to alter any settings.
My studio is small, and the GNX is big. I would like to keep the Boss for alternative sounds and backup, but don't have room for loads of pedalboards. But the Boss WILL NOT work for me.. I've been trying for 3 days.
I have set the parameters according to my best logic, and the instructions in the parameters manual
( downloadable at Boss website ) but no matter what I try, and I have tried a lot of options, the best I can get is the Axe fx jumping between 2 presets on 2 buttons, often many numbers apart, but mainly nothing at all..
Surely the standard MIDI program changes should be sent by the Boss, just as the GNX is doing.? What's wrong.?
Can anyone help please.?
It's very frustrating..
Thanks.
