My new ‘used’ MFC Mk III arrived last night and the orientation began. Plug it in, factory reset, set channels and modes and off to the brain drain. Owners manual on desktop, then forum on browser, then wiki on another tab with youtube on another. Got it working, communicating, bought the editor and finally got it sending and receiving.
So I am searching BUT I wanted to ask about 5 direct scenarios for now based on my limited understanding.
1. There are 4 exp. pedal inputs on back of MFC and 2 switch ports in the form of 1/2 and 3/4. Is there an advantage, or necessity, to using say Expression 1 on the MFC vs the back of the Axe FX? Other than cord length?
2. Could I leave my expression plugged into 1 on the Axe and use 1 on the MFC for something different without conflict?
3. Could I use Switch 1/2 on the MFC and my Boss FS6 assigned to CC’s to increase and decrease the preset volume so I could keep the MFC switches freed up?
4. What is the advantage of using the presets in the MFC vs presets in the Axe? Is there more lag time?
5. I have a Voice Live and I have a mute preset and a talk preset as I don’t sing most of the night so no point in my mic making noise. Could I use my Boss FS6 on my VoiceLives MIDI channel, via the MFC switch ports, and send a program change to turn my mic on/off?
Anyone that could point me in the right direction on any or all of these would be appreciated.
