I did contact support and a ticket has been open. They were very quick to respond I am pleased to report. That being typed, before I go without my Axe, I seek ideas from the forum. By the process of elimination and logical deduction, I am pretty sure my Axe midi in jack is jacked. Every month or two it stops working unless I go to the midi plug and work the pins in and out after spraying them with tuner cleaner. It seems to rectify the problem and yet it returns. Seems to me if there was oxidation on the midi input it wouldn't come back so fast.
I peaked inside and saw the little midi jack but that told me nothing as it looked fine. I would suspect a short in it somewhere or bad solder connection but it doesn't shut down or glitch when you move the midi plug in and around.
Has anyone experienced this? I have tried 3 midi cables and 2 different midi controllers to rule those possibilities out already. The unit is 4 years old.
