Fractal MFC-101 Programming Manual page 7

MFC-101 MIDI Port = MIDI: The MFC-101 must control the Axe-Fx via MIDI. We connect MFC-101 MIDI OUT -> Axe-Fx III MIDI IN. Axe-Fx MIDI Channel: We set MIDI channel
1 because the Axe-Fx III has also been set to MIDI channel 1.
Instead of the global 12.4.7 IA Switch Axe-Fx Functions we use the generic global 12.4.8 IA Switch Control Change (CC#) settings. By specifying the CC# number, we determine
which Axe-Fx III controller is addressed (e.g. FX BYPASS, FX CHANNEL, TEMPO, TUNER, etc.). The assignments which CC# number addresses which Axe-Fx III control unit are
made in the Axe-Fx III under SETUP: MIDI/Remote.
STEP 4: MFC-101: EDIT->PRESET
We prepare the presets: MFC-101 PRESET Menu:
For preparation we now switch off ALL PC#, the 17 global IA Switch CC# and the 17 global Internal CC# (IntCC#) in all MFC-101 presets. This ensures that no unwanted and
unnecessary MIDI commands are sent to the Axe-Fx III in the future when an MFC-101 switch is operated. To make life easier, we prepare the first MFC-101 preset and copy
it to the other MFC-101 presets of MFC-101 Bank 1 (Preset 001 - 008 with BankSize = 8). Then we program the scenes 1 to 8 commands for the first 8 presets in Bank 1, then
copy Bank 1 to all other banks:
