Hi Folks, now that I am fortunate enough to have an actual FxIII in my grubby little paws (and I love it!!! ), I am working on getting my custom controller pedal to play nicely with it! (and before you all shout 'GET A FC-12!', yes, it is a wonderful thing and does lots of fantastic things, but it and the FxIII still lack the ability to download a setlist WITHOUT a laptop!). Anyway, moving past my petty requirements, my pedal was deigned to work with the FxII and it's pleasant nature! It has the forethought to think to it's self 'Maybe if something or someone changes a patch or a scene, I might want to tell the rest of the world about it on my USB port', and it does! So that allows all it's little midi band mates to keep track of what it's doing and don't have to keep asking it what it is doing all the time, and can groove along happily. Now the new and arrogant FxIII has a whole new attitude! It has decided that it doesn't care about what it's little midi band mates think, it's just going to be all quiet and mysterious and not say anything to anyone except those that ask (classic 'needy, high maintenance, lead guitar' type behavior!). This new attitude is making life unpleasant for everyone! Even when it is asked nicely in the Setup page to 'Send MIDI PC', it decides to go all 'old school valve amp' and only send the message on the 'land line' MIDI port! I think it may be time for that 'band meeting' to discuss it's possible future and how it may want to re-think it's lack of communication skills!
