5.2.3 Preset IA Switch States

IA Switches will be ON or OFF initially when a given MFC-101 preset is loaded, and the corresponding MIDI
messages are sent. This provides a kind of "scene recall" for your rig. You might want, for example, the IA Switch
controlling a MIDI fuzz pedal to be ON whenever you load your "Lead" preset, and OFF when you load a "Clean
Rhythm" preset. Of course, it is only the initial state that is saved, and you can always stomp at will to change the
state of any IA Switch!
The saved states for IA Switches set to Axe-Fx Functions (see 12.4.6) are IGNORED. Instead, the actual effect block
states saved in the Axe-Fx preset are used to dynamically set the MFC-101 switch states (and LEDs) as follows:
GREEN=Present & Active, RED=Present & Bypassed, OFF=Not Present
To set or change the saved states of IA Switches for a given preset:
1. Press the EDIT footswitch
2. Press PRESET footswitch to arrive at the PRESET menu and the Select Preset screen:
3. Press and/or hold INCR or DECR footswitches to select the Preset you want to edit.
4. Press PAGE 2x to get to the Preset IA Switch States screen:
5. Tap and/or hold the INCR or DECR footswitches to select an IA Switch
6. Press PARAMETER to move to ON/OFF field
7. Tap the INCR or DECR footswitches to toggle the state
8. Press PARAMETER to return to step 5 to edit additional IA switch states for the selected
preset, or press PAGE 2x to return to step 3 and select a new preset for editing, or press
EXIT to return to PERFORMANCE MODE.
