3.1 Axe-‐Fx Mode

AXE-‐FX MODE makes using the MFC-‐101 easier and more intuitive. Axe-‐Fx mode rides on top of PRESET, SONG, or

SET mode to provide a number of benefits when using the MFC-‐101 with an Axe-‐Fx II, Ultra, or Standard.

! Axe-‐Fx preset names are displayed dynamically as they load—no need for data entry or import!

! Instant Access Switch Axe-‐Fx Functions can be set simply by selecting from a list.

! Instant Access Switch LEDs show the effects in the current Axe-‐Fx preset when it is loaded:

GREEN: Present & Active; RED: Present & Bypassed

! The TAP TEMPO footswitch LED flashes the current Axe-‐Fx tempo.

! The TUNER footswitch displays the Axe-‐Fx tuner in the MFC-‐101 display.

! Preset footswitches can also send general use MIDI commands for controlling bigger rigs.

! Individual IA Switches can be set up with general use MIDI commands instead of Axe-‐Fx functions.

Press EXIT to return to PERFORMANCE MODE.
