I've had the Axe-Fx 3 and LT for a couple of months now. I'm still nailing down the workflow however controlling the Axe with the LT in live environments has been great and pretty much seamless. There's a couple of smaller issues I'm trying to work through and haven't been able to figure out a solution yet. Hopefully someone can shed some light on these.
I'm connecting the Axe through the RJM powered midi box to the LT controller with a 7 pin midi cable. I've got bidirectional communication happening (tuner, fetch and update scene name, etc) and have no issue with things not working as expected.
1. Resetting IA Steps & Scenes: I use the first page with IA buttons to recall Scenes 1-8 plus one other for extra modulation/special effects options. For Lead, Ambient, and Modulation sounds I have 2-3 different options on their own IA buttons which I access via IA Cycle Steps.
Basic functionality is as expected - if I hit the Lead IA button, Lead 1 Scene loads, hit it again, Lead 2 Scene loads, etc. The issue is ... if I go from 'Lead 1' to another Scene (e.g. Clean Scene) the sound changes as expected however the Lead IA button will stay on the 'Lead 1' cycle step (the LED colour won't change nor will the step position reset). If I want to go back to 'Lead 1', I have to cycle through 'Lead 2', None, and then back to 'Lead 1'. Same with the ambient and modulation steps - the only way to get back to the first step is to cycle through all the options - which is not efficient and counterproductive.
My goal is to replicate what I can do on the PBC6 with my pedalboard + amp rig. The IA Cycle Steps reset whenever I change preset so I'm back on the first step whenever I go to one of those buttons. So I wonder... is there a way on the LT to reset the cycle steps on Scene change like how I use it with the PBC6? Or a workaround to achieve the same outcome?
2. Sync Active/Bypass State of Effect Blocks: I saw on one of Ron's earlier videos the LT can sync up with the active/bypass state of effect blocks with IA buttons (the video was with Axefx 2). E.g. When Chorus 1 is engaged on the Axe then the IA button I have mapped to Chorus 1 will show the active state which can then be toggled on/off in sync.
I haven't been able to get this working with the Axe 3 + LT combo. Is this functionality still supported? At the moment if the block is active and I want to bypass it I need to hit the IA button twice (on and then off).
3. Flash with Tempo: I have been able to set up a Tap Tempo IA button to change tempo on the Axe however I'm not able to get the flash with tempo working. Is this functionality still possible?
