Can you please tel much about what you are doing with your BCF2K?
Do you edit some Axe's parameter from it? How? And with what results?
I started on creating some presets that could control parameters in the Axe-FX. After reading up on it I found it easiest to just use BCManager to capture sysex data from Axe-Edit and then edit out the extraneous crap that got mixed in there.
Now it works, but I am no where near complete. My biggest issue is time (isn't it always?). Second issue is that I can't seem to come up with a plan of attack for the layout. Basically I have 8 encoders times 4 per preset or scene. Trying to keep track of which one is reverb, delay, drive, etc, is the issue. It's pretty pointless unless you can keep track of what you are editing. Multiply that by the 32 scenes that are possible and all the parameters that can be adjusted and you'd need a cheatsheet to get around.
The other issue is that any parameter that you adjust defaults back to zero as soon as you touch it. Not the end of the world if you are adjusting the right parameter because most of the time you'll be tweaking it for sound, but if you tweak the wrong one it sets you back a step or more.
I was hoping to be able to figure out how to have the Axe-FX send parameter status back to the BCF2000, but because it's all sysex it's not possible. I suppose I could use Bome's MIDI translator or some other hack to make it work, but that ties me to a PC again. I was hoping for a standalone solution.
If you are really interested I may pick it back up and complete it since it won't just be for me.
I put it on the backburner because I was spending too much time dorking around with stuff and not enough time playing.
