Getting Set Up
19
PROG CHANGE - When set to ON the Axe-Fx will respond to MIDI Program Change messages.
When set to
OFF it will ignore them.
MAPPING MODE - When set to OFF the Axe-Fx will recall the preset given in the Program
Change message. When set to
CUSTOM you can set up a custom map where an incoming number
is mapped to a desired preset
MAP FROM -
Sets the input MIDI Program Change number that is mapped.
MAP TO -
The actual preset that is recalled when the MAP FROM number is received.
NOTE: Mapping is only supported within Bank A (presets 0 - 127).
SYSEX ID -
Sets the System Exclusive ID of the unit.
Control Configuration
The
CTRL
page configures the external control capabilities of the Axe-Fx. Each item in the list can
be controlled by either of the pedals or by a MIDI continuous controller. To set up the control for
an item simply turn the value dial to select the MIDI continuous controller number (or desired
pedal) that will control that item. The Axe-Fx has a “learn” feature that allows it to detect the
controller. Simply select the desired item to control and press
ENTER
. Now move the controller
and the Axe-Fx will learn the controller number.
Example
To set the main output volume to be controlled by Pedal1 select OUT1 VOLUME with the
navigation buttons. Then turn the value dial to select
PEDAL1. Alternatively press
ENTER
and then move your pedal connected to the
PEDAL1
jack until the Axe-Fx learns the
source.
In the list there are eight external controllers labeled
EXTERNAL 1, EXTERNAL 2, etc. These are
the external sources that can be attached to controllable parameters. The actual source can be either
of the
PEDAL
inputs or any MIDI continuos controller.
Example
Manual control of effects like Wah requires an external controller to be attached to the
Wah’s
CTRL knob. In this example we’ll assume an expression pedal is connected to the
PEDAL 2
input jack. The first step is to assign
PEDAL 2
to an external controller. In this
case we’ll use
EXTERNAL 1. To do this select EXTERNAL 1 with the navigation buttons
and turn the value dial until
PEDAL 2 is displayed (or use the Auto-Learn function). Now
when you attach a modifier to the Wah’s
CTRL knob simply select EXTRN 1 as the control
source.
In this example we could have used any of the eight external controllers or any MIDI continuous
controller. The main point to understand here is that there are eight logical external control sources.
Each source is assigned to a physical source via the
CTRL
menu page. This source can be the
PEDAL
inputs or a MIDI continuos controller. The logical source is then attached to an effects
parameter (via the
MODIFIER
menu, see the Controllers and Modifiers chapter).
