Axe FX II only sends realtime sysex when Axe-Edit is open

[valdiorn]

Hi guys. I'm a new owner of an AxeFX II, and I'm trying to send/receive midi sysex from the unit.

I can see when I have Axe Edit open that it sends sysex messages for the tuner and metronome ticks (using Midi-OX to capture the messages), but as soon as I close Axe Edit, it stops sending the messages.

The messages I see are just as described in the wiki, so it all seems to be working... but only when I have Axe Edit open.

I have the "IO->Midi->Send Realtime Sysex" set to "ALL", but it doesn't seem to help.
Any ideas how I can force the unit to continuously send these messages without having Axe Edit running? Or maybe there's a "Please start realtime Sysex" message I can send to the Axe ??

Any help would be appreciated - Thanks

Which Axe-FX II model? Axe-Edit does use sysex to start & stop the data on open/close. These are the commands for Mark I/II.

start = F0 00 01 74 03 08 0E F7

stop = F0 00 01 74 03 42 44 F7

It's a MkI... and those messages totally worked!

Thanks for the really quick response, much appreciated!
