External Patch Name Display/Screen

[ghosty999]

I'm currently using a MIDI Mouse to move up (and down) patches on the AxeFX II. Since the set is linear, it just goes from 0-48 in order, no scenes etc. The MIDI Mouse displays the patch number, but would there be a way to have an external display which shows the patch name? Not having much luck reading the patch number then referencing a sheet of paper on the floor... haha! Thanks.

There is no port or feature for preset name on an external display.

Here's an old school method, point a small camera at the Axe-FX screen and send it to a monitor.

Use a tablet and FracPad, it has a custom screen feature which allows you to choose what to display on the screenso you can display only the preset name in full screen if you want

This is my kind of janky!

The MX-6 SB LCD will do the job. Just connect the MX with a midi cable to the Axe-Fx II.

Can be programmed easily to one button preset up and one button preset down, and still have 4 buttons left. Will show the Axe-Fx II preset name on program change.

You could use one of the spare buttons for tuner, since that info is also shown on the MX-6 LCD.

This looks perfect! Just can't see a MX-6 with an LCD on their website.

Brand new!

Awsome! I'll keep my eye out for it. It looks the solution for me.
May I ask if it's a proprietary design? My next attempt was going to be a Raspberry Pi4 bridge that would reference an excel sheet and display the text... but I'd have to constantly maintain it to mirror the AxeFX Preset names manually

It's propietary design. Uses sysex commands to retrieve preset name and tuner info.
