5.4 Switch Links

Switch Links allow you to set up two global groups of 5 mutually exclusive IA Switches each. Only one switch in a

particular group can be ON at a given time. This feature is useful for emulating the way amplifier channels work. To

create a switch group:

1. Press EDIT footswitch to enter EDIT MODE.

2. Press SETUP footswitch to select the SETUP menu.

3. Press PAGE 10x to get to the IA Switch Links Setup Screen:

LinkA -- -- -- -- --

4. Tap the INCR or DECR footswitches to group A or group B.

5. Press PARAMETER to move to the first empty switch slot (--).

NOTE: The cursor cannot be moved further right than the first empty slot.

6. Tap and/or hold the INCR or DECR footswitches to add an IA Switch to the group.

7. At any time, you may REMOVE the last (farthest right) switch (and only the last/farthest right

switch) from the group by setting its value to "--".

8. Return to step 5 to continue adding IA switches, or press EXIT to return to PERFORMANCE

MODE.

An IA switch will still send its MIDI OFF messages when it is turned off automatically by a Link. This behavior can

be disabled using the Send IA Switch Link OFF Messages parameter (12.5.15 on p. 65).

Any currently selected switch in link group may be switched OFF at any time.

 NOTE: Switch Links may be created between IA Switches that control Axe-Fx effect functions and those that do not. Such

setups should be planned and tested carefully to avoid potential pitfalls.

Switches set up to select PRESETS (see Bank Size on p. 15) also double as Instant Access Switches when REVEAL is

turned on. Tap the REVEAL footswitch to turn this feature ON or OFF. The REVEAL LED will blink when the MFC-

101 is in Reveal mode.

It is possible to change the current BANK or SONG while Reveal is activated, but if Bank Style (p. 16) is set to

"NONE" you'll need to exit REVEAL and press a preset footswitch before a preset will be loaded.

Reveal works the same in all modes: PRESET, SONG, and SET, and whether Axe-Fx mode is ON or OFF.

In Axe-Fx Mode, press and hold the the REVEAL footswitch to enter LOOPER CONTROL MODE (see p. 77).

The LED will light red. Tap REVEAL again to return to normal performance mode.
