Fractal MFC 101 with Kemper as an amp and Axe Fx 2 for effects

  • I've been trying to find a way to use the Fractal MFC101 with Axe Fx 2 and the Kemper. I'm loving the way it sounds with the Kempe which I use as the amp plugged into the Axe Fx 2 Effects Loop. I would like to use the Kemper in performance mode so I can switch the slots using Axe Fx 2 Scenes. Reading the Kemper manual, it says that you can change slots using CC's, but the slots are changing with PC changes. I plug the MFC101 MIDI out using a 7 pin MIDI cable into the Axe Fx 2 MIDI then the MIDI out of the Axe Fx 2 to the Kemper's MIDI in(activating MIDI thru in Axe Fx 2)
    The only way that I can make it work now is if I use 4 to 5 presets per song, but I can't find the way to make the MFC101 transmit bank changes, so I'm limited with only 127 presets with the Kemper. That's not enough presets for my band! I use at least 4 different tones per song and some of them I switch between 2 amps.
    I've looked around for info and read most of the info I could find, but it's still not clear to me how is done.
    I'm eager to use my new Kemper Live, but there's many cool effects that I do with with the MFC101 and the Axe Fx 2 because they work together seamlessly, but All I want to do with the Kemper is switch amps within a preset. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

  • maybe a second midifootswitch which only switches the kemper rigs

    Thanks for your response. I was thinking about doing that, but it defeats the purpose of instant switching and I'm not a good tap dancer! I can't even get the Kemper to switch slots with CC's even when I only plug the MFC101 in non Axe Fx mode directly into the MIDI in Kemper. Unless I need to plug both in and out MIDI cables? It has to be something stupid that I'm missing! It always is! LOL!
