My MFC Tuner is different from yours!!!! Bug?

[cellopet]

That's my problem: My MFC Tuner is very instable and has strange signs:


instead of this



Is there any problem? Is my MFC working not properly?
Thank you

I'd contact support - something is funky with your tuner. What cables are you using to connect the MFC and Axe-FX?

 

[cellopet]

CAT5 from G66

CAT5 from G66

Have you swapped that cable out to test it yet?

I'd test it, check your Midi settings on the hardware (midi page, "Send Realtime" - to "All"). If you still have that issue, then you'd best contact support or G66.

 

[cellopet]

I checked it. It's set to ALL

How do you test a CAT5 cable, Scott?

Just swap it with another Cat5 cable.

Just swap it with another Cat5 cable.

So, there is no way to test a CAT5 cable? You just have to buy a new one?

They are a dollar for one at the supermarket/grocery and found anywhere. I just swap them.

"Supermarket/grocery"??? Where? Between the TRS cable and the string beans?

Any convenience store, grocery, office supply, etc has them. They are cheap as snot.

At my neighborhood Kroger they are in the little 'office supply' section. No kidding.

I do not know where the OP lives; but here in the States... they are pretty easy to find... I'd bet they are easy to find in LA too.

There are Ethernet cable testers. Some are expensive, but some are cheap and will work to check if your Cat5 Cable is OK or not:

Oh, I'm sure they are. Cables can be so hit and miss, I'd be reluctant to buy any if I wasn't sure they were good quality. Good to know though. Guess I don't need Best-tronics after all!

Great, thank you! Would save me trips to the supermarket!

So? Must i try with another cable?

You can also try with 2 midi cables, Midi out of MFC to Midi IN of Axe, Midi out of Axe into Midi in of MFC, and using the power supply on the MFC, or 1 Midi cable if it has all the pins connected (a lot of them don't) , but your best bet is to contact support the display looks defective.

If it was my MFC, I'd try reinstalling the latest firmware.

You can use the Cat5 for power even when using MIDI cables. No need to use the wall wart.

Can i use a normal Ethetnet cable?
