Is it possible to create a single FCB1010 uno preset for Axe Fx 3 live to do this?

I'm getting an Axe Fx3 mk 2 delivered this week. I'm playing and singing a show where I need to simplify my FCB1010 uno rig to work like this so i don't have to look down (yeah, it's a very heavy lift for me) -
Plug in a 1 button switch to FCB 1010 to increment up 1 preset per press.
Make #1 button on 1010 to increment +1 through as many scenes are in the preset, so I never have to look down.
Literally one increment switch to change to the next song preset, 1 button on the 1010 to go through all scenes incrementally up only.

Hopefully making sense. I have Cooper Carter's Axe 3 tutorials and also looked at an Ugly Bunny vid, but he doesn't use an Uno chip (1.2f) Currently using stomp box mode.

Thanks very much!

The Axe Fx has assignable CC#s for both Preset Increment and Scene Increment (and Decrement for both as well).

You can set the CC# you want to use for each and then set the FCB switch to send that CC with a data value of 127 for both ON and OFF.

The LED lights on the switches will be confusing because they can't really track a "state" but it will function correctly.

There may be another way, but I haven't used an FCB in about 10 years...
 
I very much appreciate the info. Because I won't be looking at it, I can't get confused - WIN! I'd love to have another $5-700 for an FC now, but that's more like next year. Sounds like it'll be easier to accomplish than I woulda guessed.
 
Another option would be to literally just connect a 2-button switch via a TRS to (dual) TS cable to a couple pedal jacks on the back of the Axe Fx.

Then no FCB required ;)
 
Thanks for this - it's a great option! If I'm only playing as an opener I will do this as it'd expedite set up/tear down as well. I will need the FCB for all my normal set of presets for cover tunes.
