Beside tempo and Block on/off state, preset names and scene names are loaded from the III, which is handy. Also the active Channel of a Block is synced.
On shipment the MX comes pre-programmed based on the device you want to control and based on your personal input. Normally for an Axe-Fx III this would be
5 presets + bank up and down + 8 scenes + drive + delay + tempo/tuner. But since you're not interested in using scenes, I would probably pre-program it as
5 presets + 10 FX + bank down/up + Tempo + Tuner.

For the record, this is programmed in less than 6 seconds! Using the easy setup in 3 steps:
1. you choose your MX (MX-18)
2. you choose your device (Axe-Fx III)
3. you choose your layout (5 Presets - 10 FX - Bank Up/Down - Tempo Tuner)
Done!
After this template is loaded, you can easily adjust (swapping buttons , changing colors, changing commands).
I also want to mention that you have 3 different pages available (the picture above is Page A).
Try the
editor and see how easy it is to program.
If you have any question, let me know.
