12.5.13 IA Switch Names

EDIT : SETUP : PAGE
(13x)
IA Switch Names is used to set "user-friendly" names for Instant Access Switches.
IASw 01 Name IaSw 01
PARAMETER
The   footswitches select the IA Switch Number parameter and move through the individual characters of
the IA Switch Name parameter.
The name of a selected IA Switch appears briefly as a memory aid when the NAMES footswitch is pressed while the cursor is in
any "IA Switch" selection parameter on any MFC-101 menu page, and, in the case of General Use (non Axe-Fx) IA switches,
when the switch is turned ON in Performance mode.

12.5.14 IA Switch Link Settings

EDIT : SETUP : PAGE
(14x)
IA Switch Link Settings is used to set up each of two global groups of mutually exclusive Instant Access Switches.
LinkA -- -- -- -- --
PARAMETER
The   footswitches move between the Link Group Select (A/B) and the 5 slot parameters for the selected
group. The cursor cannot be moved further right until there is a valid switch in the current position, and only the LAST switch in
the group may be removed (by setting its value back to "--").
A switch link is a global group of switches set up so only one switch in the group can be ON at any given time. Two such groups
are available and each can contain up to 5 IA Switches. When a linked switch is turned OFF by another switch, its OFF MIDI
commands will be sent before the ON commands of the "incoming" switch. This behavior can be disabled. See Send IA Switch
Link OFF Messages, below. As of MFC-101 firmware version 1.0, the last remaining switch that is ON in a linked group may be
switched OFF, resulting in a group with no members active.
NOTE: Presets store the ON or OFF states of general use IA Switches (12.1.4). When a preset is loaded, it sets the IA footswitch
LEDs accordingly (and sends a burst of corresponding MIDI data). Because only one switch in a Link group may be ON at any
time, a Link may conflict with the stored ON/OFF settings of a given preset. When such a conflict occurs, the lowest numbered
switch will prevail and be set to ON, while all others in the link group will be turned OFF.
A preset can initially set all switches in a Link group to OFF with no special considerations necessary.
Remember that Axe-Fx-enabled IA Switches (12.4.7) have their initial ON or OFF states set according to what is saved in the
actual Axe-Fx preset. Such IA Switches IGNORE what may be saved in the preset but are of course subject to the rule that only
one member of a Link group can be on at a given time.
