Implemented Use Scene Midi block to transmit internal messages

[HurdyGuigui]

It would be awesome to be able to send internal midi messages per scene to the Axe itself with the midi block :

We would have an new entry for each midi messages : a "routing" column in the midi block :
-If set to "midi out" (default), the message would be sent to the midi output (as it is working now)
-If set to "internal", the message would be send internally to the axe.

Examples of use cases :
You could use the midi block to activate global functions in the axe and change external control values on a scene change :
-Control the Looper : Play/rec/dub/etc on a scene change
-Change the value of any external controller on a scene change : it would be like to have 8 more scenes controllers (8 messages per midi block) . But also to have parameters being controllable both by an external controller and by a scene change.
-Display the Tuner on a scene change.

I think this is a little thing that could allow a lot of possibilities.

You could do this just by connecting the MIDI OUT to the MIDI IN (via a cheap hardware MERGER)... but WATCH OUT that you don't create a MIDI loop!

Thanks for the quick answer ! I was wondering if this could cause any problem with midi info the axe is sending (other than the scene midi block), such as tempo or tuner infos. I don't have a III yet but I will try that for sure when I get it.

And how do I connect a foot controller then?

You use a merger like this : http://midisolutions.com/prodmrg.htm

But this is not handy, thus this wish.

That was kinda cruel

Not handy, and incredibly hard to get in many parts of the world.
