Another advantage of using the external XS switches is that they do not need to send unnecessary MIDI switching commands when calling up an MFC-101 preset. The big
advantage is that you can not only configure these XS switches globally, but also set the global settings at MFC-101 preset level to settings that differ from the preset. (12.1.7
Preset External Switch Settings & 12.1.8 Preset External Switch On/Off Values). For example, you could program the 4 external XS switches Global as Amp1 Channel A/B/C/D
switches and assign looper functions to the external XS switches only for the MFC-101 presets where you want to use the looper.
Additional TIP: Why not switch the channels of Amp1 & Amp2 with the external 4 XS switches? In the Axe-Fx III MIDI/Remote menu, simply assign the same CC# value to
CHANNEL AMP2 that is set for CHANNEL AMP1.
Not enough yet? Let's get to the top: In parallel routing, the signal passes through DRIVE1 and AMP1, DRIVE2 and AMP2 in parallel, set the CHANNEL CC# of all 4 FX blocks to
the same value and program this CC# value on the XS1 to XS4 switches (with the CC values XS1=0, XS2=1, XS3=2, XS4=3), then switch the channels of all four blocks with the
4 external XS switches. Which means: Each AMP channel has its own drive channel. And it never hurts to have one dedicated drive per amp, does it?! Or even more? Maybe
give the CAB1/2 also the same CHANNEL CC#
So have fun controlling your Axe-Fx III with the MFC-101!

Writing this tutorial for you was a time-consuming job. If it helps you, if you have learned something and with its help you now understand
your MFC-101 better and can now program your Axe-Fx III in a meaningful way, then I would be pleased about a little recognition. Maybe
you'd like to buy me a pizza? Then I would be very happy about a PAYPAL donation from you to https://www.paypal.me/axefx

Thank you
