Fractal MFC-101 - Axe-Fx III SETUP: MIDI;Remote

Axe-Fx III SETUP: MIDI/Remote
To remotely control the Axe-Fx III via MIDI commands of the MFC-101, the MIDI
channel on which the MIDI communication takes place must be defined. Likewise,
all control units you want to address must be assigned corresponding (unique)
Control Change Numbers (CC#). Up to 127 unique CC`s# can be assigned. By
default, they are all off (NONE), because there are many more entries in the Axe-
Fx III than the 127 that can be assigned. Here is my suggestion for a default CC#
assignment and further settings, which should normally be sufficient to control the
Axe-Fx III without conflicts with the MFC-101. All 127 possible uniquen CC# were
assigned. If you need CC# for other entries, you can of course adapt the CC#
assignment to your individual needs.
Under SETUP -> Global Settings -> Config -> I recommend
to set default Scene to 1.

Initial Value 100% for External Control 1: External Control 1 I use for the expression pedal, which controls the volume of the VOLUME 1 block. This Block is always placed
between amp block and post amp effects such as delay and reverb and is always active. My "Master Volume" pedal. That's why I didn't give a CC# entry for VOLUME1 BYPASS,
because it is always active and is not switched on or off.
