Hope this hasn't been covered already, I have searched!
Anyway, I'm looking to use two MIDI controllers with my Axe FX II XL. Basically the set up I'm looking for is this - iPad with Set List Maker app connected through bluetooth MIDI controlling patch changes, and a floorboard to control scene changes and expression pedals and also to display tuner info.
Am I right in thinking the only way to do this is with a MIDI merger box? The only way I've been able to come up with is with a MIDI merger -
Blue lines are bluetooth MIDI. MFC in the diagram is just a placeholder, will probably be a BJ Devices TB12. One side of the MIDI bluetooth is connected to a PSU as I believe this is where they draw power from.
Is there a better way to do this? I basically want MIDI in and out on the floorboard and just MIDI out from the iPad. Doing this as I play in a function band, and at the moment I'm dealing with a lot of patch changes, so having to print out set lists with patch numbers next to each song which isn't ideal. Also would like to streamline things as much as possible! Thanks for any help!
