I'm trying to use my Roland FC-300 as a controller for the Axe-FX III but am having difficulty getting it to read the expression pedals correctly. I've set one of the pedals to emit MIDI CC 1, and assigned that to the modifier External 1. However when I try to use that on a control it gets really jumpy and doesn't reliably affect the entire range of the control. I filmed a video here where it is mapped to a control. In the video I am just sweeping the pedal back and forth, but you can see the parameter being really jumpy.
It's not just the graphics, if I use it for a wah or volume it's really apparent it's not responding correctly.
I've tried connecting the FC-300 to a MIDI interface and then to my computer. When I record the motion in my DAW this way or look at it in MIDI Monitor it appears to be totally fine. So it seems the Axe-FX is just not responding to the MIDI messages sometimes. I tried disconnecting the USB interface to make sure that wasn't in conflict or anything but it didn't seem to help.
Does anyone have any idea what could be going on here? It seems it should be a pretty simple setup. Is it a bug or am I missing something?
