Is there a tutorial anywhere that clarifies the differences?
Elegantly stated.A channel is like a "preset" of a block.
For example, you can have Amp block 1 with 4 completely different saved settings (i.e, Marshall, Fender, Vox, Mesa), one on each channel.
A scene is a saved setting within a preset which defines the ON/OFF and channel selections states only.

I'm in 100% agreement on that!Ya really need more Scenes for all the different combinations you can make with the Channels.

It's not weird, it is the purpose of scenes...The thing that is really non-intuitive about the whole system imo is the fact that block parameters are saved at the channel level, but not at the scene level (unless you use a scene modifier).
I’m sure there’s a technical reason why, probably having to do with memory and seamless switching, but it’s one of the weirdest things about the Axe Fx.

I think if explained clearly and simply it would make sense to new users...However, from a user experience perspective I think it is strange, and something that new users clearly have trouble with.
This explanation is clear and to the point, nicely done. In the beginning I was also confused by the scenes and couldn't figure out why when I changed settings on a specific effect it changed it on all scenes. Reading the manual cleared up the confusion for me and introduced me to the X/Y concept. Now that I have the AxeFX3 I want more channels not scenes. lol![]()
Yes... With a midi controller or FC.Can you change channels without scenes?
I can change channels with my VOES MX-12 without changing scenes as well. However, It's very limited in comparison to what the FC can do. I mainly us it for presets, scenes, tuner, and looper.Can you change channels without scenes?
Channels replaced the X/Y function that the AX2 has. So you have in most cases 4 channels per effect block with some exceptions that can be changed per scene.
You can also use the FC or another midi controller to switch a channel of a block in an existing scene without changing the scene.
Let me see if I understand this.
Let's assume just amplifiers for this example.
With a scene you can either amp X or amp Y, and you can play with the knobs per scene. So one scene can be brighter, the other more gainy, etc.
With channels you can choose up to 4 different amplifiers per channel, as opposed to only two with the scene scenario.
Please confirm.
