Apologies if I am just being dumb here. I heard you can use midi to communicate axe-edit with the axe fx without the usb, and since I don't have a usb-b long enough for my ideal setup at the moment I thought I'd give it a go.
Scarlett 8i6 MIDI OUT -> Axe-FX 2 MIDI IN
Scarlett 8i6 MIDI IN -> Axe-FX 2 MIDI OUT
With this setup I'd be lucky for axe edit to connect at all. I usually just get "connection timed out" when I try to select Focusrite midi in axe edit.
Sometimes it just works though, but then the connection is horribly slow, like 5 - 10 seconds just to click on different blocks within a patch.
Is this normal? I feel like I'm completely missing something here but I'm really struggling to find information on this. I've tried swapping the midi cables, no real difference there. Are there any settings I need to change on the Axe?
Thanks
