Hello Unix-Guy
First of all i want to thank you for the time you took to answer me.
I apologize for my English. I am French and I use google translation ...
That connector says specifically the CAE controller "only"... I would suspect that means it's not a standard midi.
->I think you are right, the footswitch input should not be used for this
So you are saying you already have the Voodoo Lab Control Switcher?
-> yes i bought it
Have you figured out how to "manually" change channels on the CAE by pressing the front buttons on the Control Switcher?
->
yes and it works very well. Button 2 activate ch2, button 3 activate ch3 ...
On the MFC you will need to setup switches as "general purpose IA" switches as documented in the manual. Set them to send the corresponding CC for the switch channel.
->yes i followed the procedure page 30 : 6 INTERNAL CCs. and The default group is CC numbers 80-83, which means that 80 controls switch #1, 81 controls switch #2, 82 controls switch #3, and 83 controls switch #4 (page 9)
But it doesn't work.
How are you connecting the MFC to the Axe Fx? If not by midi cable you'll need to set the Axe Fx to "echo MFC" to ON so any messages coming in get passed out.

> the FMC and the FX are connected by a fastlink
Connect your Axe Fx midi thru or out to the input of the Control Switcher. Make sure to use a 3-pin midi cable for this. The Control Switcher provides phantom power and the pins they use are non-standard. Usually they have a warning in their manuals about this but not in this manual. You don't want to damage your Axe Fx!
->FMC out midi
control switch in midi
I use a standard 5-pin midi cable ... and the fractal / control switcher link doesn't seem to have been a problem
i will also try to contact the guys from voodoo lab
thanks
