Yes. I’ve been testing the beta 3.9 FW.
It works and further development of this firmware will make the MC6 a real competitor of the FC6. Smaller and more versatile.
With AxeFX integration on the MC6:
So, you can do that:
- Scenes names are displayed - You press on "Scenes" on the MC6 and you see 5 scenes names + "(exit)" to come back to the previous view
- Preset names are displayed - You press on "Presets" on the MC6 and you see 5 presets names + "(exit)" to come back to the previous view
- FX names are not displayed automatically, you have to set the names once and for all. Even the FC6 doesn't recognize the FX, but displays the same ones in each FX layout. So if in a preset you have no drive, the FC6 will use a switch for drive anyway.
- Set foot switch 1 for "Presets": when you press it you go in the presets bank and you see 5 presets names
- Set foot switch 2 for "Scenes": when you press it you go in the scenes bank and you see 5 scenes names
- Set foot switch 3 for "FX": when you press it you go in FX bank where you choose with presets to display, up to 6, and assign the PC and the fx names
Once the new FW will be fully tested and will be released (not a beta) I will write a new thread to give all of the information to set the MC6.![]()
I sincerely doubt it is possible for both FC6 and MC6.Do you think this is something that will be possible in the "final" FW for the MC6 for it to auto-recognize and auto-display the correct EFX assigned to a particular FSW ?
I sincerely doubt it is possible for both FC6 and MC6.
AxeFX has MIDI settings that let you assign each FX to a specific Program Change (PC). So the switches are assigned to that PC (FX) regardless of their presence in the chain. Even the FM9 pre-assign an fx to a switch and if the preset has not that fx you will still continue to see that switch assigned.
No, they are CCs not PCs...AxeFX has MIDI settings that let you assign each FX to a specific Program Change (PC). So the switches are assigned to that PC (FX) regardless of their presence in the chain.
Because that's not a (currently) retrievable value... It's part of the global settings, not part of a preset.Happy to defer to your expertise ... but I don't fully understand "the EFX limitation".
For example .... in my FM3 I manually assigned CC# 122 to " Drive 2 " ... which in turn I manually assigned to Button " D " on my MC6 MKII .
I don't understand then, why the MC6 cant then be made to "auto-retrieve" and "auto-display" the name of my manually assigned CC# 122 - which is " Drive 2 " - in the appropriate LCD area ?!?!
Apologies upfront as my understanding of MIDI is very rudimentary![]()

Because that's not a (currently) retrievable value... It's part of the global settings, not part of a preset.
Additionally, you could just as easily assign a CC to External Controller N, and assign that controller to (various) block Bypass operations. What would be retrieved then? Or even assign the same CC directly to multiple effects...
I don't think what you're asking will ever be possible.
As far as the FCs, they are not midi, so how would they magically know what to do?
You're right, sorry.No, they are CCs not PCs...
At the moment you can't do that FM3->MC6.This is a pretty cool update! I upgraded to 3.9 beta I am not totally sure how to get it working correctly yet. I did set preset type to AxeFX Integration and model to FM3. I was able to get the preset names to show up, but I did not figure out how to make the FM3's buttons change the view on the MC6. It appears that I hit bank 1 preset A and it displays the scenes within that ban and preset instead of each letter preset corresponding to a scene. I may have to wait for that writeup @Gl4th unless you have any other clues
I wonder if it is some setting I changed then. A little over a year ago I had setup an external switch on my FCB1010 to turn on the tuner. I thought I set it back but maybe I am missing something.The tuner works on FM3.
