Hello,
Ive been searching the forum and google with no luck so far.
Is it possible to use the AXE FX II as a MIDI converter so that I can connect my synthesizer to my MAC and controller VSTi's while in REAPER?
What I've done so far:
- installed AxeFxII USB driver for MAC
- changed USB ADAPTER MODE on the Axe FX to ON (and I tried OFF).
- connected the synth (Synth Midi OUT->AxeFxII Midi IN)
-- When I press down on a key on the synth, I see the midi light turn green. So I know it's getting a signal.
- connected the AxeFxII to MAC via USB
-- Reaper does see the MIDI signal from the USB (listed in midi devices).
---- This is where it gets a bit weird though. Under the listing for MIDI input device it's listed as:
---- "Fractal Audio Systems - AXE-FX II - MIDI Out (and I have the mode set for enabled+control)
---- Under the output device it reads:
---- "Fractal Audio Systems - AXE-FX II - MIDI In (Enabled)
------ Should it be listed the other way around? Midi in for input and Midi out for output device?
I also selected which midi device to use on the midi instrument track in REAPER. The virtual keyboard produces sound but when I select the AxeFx Midi, nothing happens when I press a key down.
I feel like I'm either REALLY close or this just isn't possible with the AxeFxII.
Thanks for your help in advance!
