Selecting A Port; Axe-­-Fx Midi Channel; Display Offset - Fractal Audio MFC-101 MARK III Owner's Manual

Fractal Audio Systems MFC-­‐101 Manual
3.2 Selecting a Port
The MFC-­‐101 sends and receives data only on one port type at a time. As of MFC firmware 3.0, the default is Ether
– the AXE-­‐FX port, where an EtherNet or EtherCON cable can be connected.
1. Press EDIT footswitch to enter EDIT MODE.
2. Press MIDI footswitch for the MIDI menu to arrive at the USE PORT screen:
3. Press INCR or DECR to select "MIDI", "EXPANSION", (to use EtherNet/EtherCON) or "FASLINK".
Note that "FASLINK" requires a FASLINK compatible adapter or device such as the XA-­‐2 Axe-­‐Fx II
Adapter. Do not connect to XLR audio jacks or damage could occur.
4. Press EXIT to return to PERFORMANCE MODE.
3.3 Axe-­‐Fx MIDI Channel
A factory-­‐fresh MFC-­‐101 expects the Axe-­‐Fx to be on MIDI channel 1 (the unit's default setting). If you have
modified this setting in your Axe-­‐Fx, you will need to make the same setting in the MFC-­‐101 for AXE-­‐FX MODE to
work properly:
1. Press EDIT footswitch to enter EDIT MODE.
2. Press MIDI footswitch to select the MIDI menu.
3. Press PAGE" once to arrive at the Axe-­‐Fx MIDI Channel Screen:
4. Press the INCR or DECR footswitches to set the desired Midi Channel.
5. Press EXIT to return to PERFORMANCE MODE.
3.4 Display Offset
The Axe-­‐Fx has a "Display Offset" feature which causes its presets to appear to be numbered from 001 instead of
from 000. If you have Display Offset set to "1" on your Axe-­‐Fx, you need to make a setting change on the MFC-­‐101:
1. Press EDIT footswitch to enter EDIT mode.
2. Press SETUP footswitch to select the SETUP menu.
3. Press PAGE" 2x to get to the Axe-­‐Fx Display Offset Screen:
4. Press the INCR or DECR footswitch to set Display Offset as desired.
5. Press EXIT to return to PERFORMANCE MODE.
In addition, you will also need to apply a display offset to the preset numbers of the MFC-­‐101:
