Midi keyboard to control axe-fx II ?

[W8ing4thewindshield]

Has anyone who alternates between playing guitar and keyboards ever used one (in my case an axiom pro) ?
It would be interesting if possible.

Thanks, jimi

If the keyboard can send CC and program change messages which is highly likely, I can't see why it wouldn't work. I send similar stuff from a DAW as do others, and from a keyboard should be no different.

IIRC, I seem to remember someone having problem with MIDI note numbers not passing thru his Axe. Even though it should (I think), I don´t know if and how that got sorted. I think his setup was a keyboard, axe-edit and axe something. Please try and let us know how it goes!

I don't see why not, especially for controller type keyboards like the Axoim. I never played with one, but I'd expect that it could send out program changes and other MIDI messages. But the problem is, if you're playing guitar, you'd need a third arm to push buttons and turn the expression wheel.
