what exactly is/isn't happening?It appears that the AFX2 can't do this?
Am I missing anything?
Example: Record something in Scene 5, initiate playback in Scene 5, and then switch to Scene 2 to solo etc (my old Ultra could do this sans Scenes etc)?
TIA!
Works fine for me even across preset changes as long as the Looper block is set the same.
Do you have it enabled in all the scenes?
What command are you sending exactly?
It sounds like you're using Preset Mapping to do scene changes.
In that case, no idea if it's expected to work...
Try changing scenes with the A knob from the front panel. You should see that it does indeed work across scenes.
What command for scene change I meant.
Yeah... I used to use that with my Ground Control, but never used the Looper with it.Correct, I'm changing MIDI PC's, Patch Change commands mapped to Scenes with "Ignore Redundant Patch Change Commands" enabled, Scene Revert on an doff, no differnce, i.e...
SCENE SELECTION VIA PROGRAM CHANGE
The Axe-Fx II MIDI Program Change Map (See the Axe-Fx II Owner’s Manual, Section 9.3) has been
updated so that SCENE as well as PRESET can be mapped for each incoming program change
message. Ignore Redundant PC (under I/O: MIDI) must be ON for seamless scene changes via PC.
To use program changes for scene selection:
Set MAPPING MODE to “CUSTOM.”
Select an entry for MAP FROM PRESET.
Select the desired entries for MAP TO PRESET and MAP TO SCENE.
Program Change mapping does not need to be saved.
Note: Custom Program Change mapping is incompatible with MFC-101 “TotalSync” and with Axe-Edit
in general.
SCENE REVERT
A new item in the I/O:MIDI menu of the Axe-Fx II allows selecting between one of two general
behaviors for scene recall via MIDI.
OFF (Default): Scene edits are retained across scene changes until you load an entirely new preset or
reload the current one3. If you tweak Scene 1, switch to Scene 2, then back to scene 1, your tweaks
will remain intact.
ON: Scene edits are lost when you change the scene without saving first. So if you tweak scene 1,
switch to Scene 2, then back to Scene 1, Scene 1 will have reverted to its previously saved state. This
makes scene changes feel more like traditional preset changes.
2 A switch connected to the PEDAL jack of the Axe-Fx II can also be used for SCENE INCR, SCENE DECR, or SCENE
SELECT (toggling between scenes one and eight.)
3 Be aware that the optional setting IGNORE REDUNDANT PC: ON prevents reloading the current preset via MIDI.
i believe with that command type, you are fully changing presets, then changing Scenes. so you aren't just changing Scenes. you change to the same preset again, which reloads everything - including stopping the Looper - and then it switches to the Scene.MIDI Patch Change's 0 - 4, custom mapped to Patch 001 Scenes 1 - 5.
Yes, but that is why you have to set Ignore Redundant PC on.i believe with that command type, you are fully changing presets, then changing Scenes. so you aren't just changing Scenes. you change to the same preset again, which reloads everything - including stopping the Looper - and then it switches to the Scene.
you need to scene CC#34 on the appropriate value 0-7 to change to Scenes 1-8 respectively.
Yeah... I used to use that with my Ground Control, but never used the Looper with it.
Did you try scene change from the A knob as I suggested?
Sounds like a winner... I was focused on the preset mapping and thinking only about the PCs.Store the play CC button "on" in the second MM preset. It sends button states at preset change so being stored off will stop playback.

While that will probably work in this scenario, it will make the Looper play every time this scene is selected. I don't think that is the desired result, though
