seattleguitarist said:I am using an axe fx ii. It sounds like i will not be able to have midi clock sent to both the axe fx and tc nova system. At east not if I want the IA button states to update with axe fx preset or scene changes. I tried a midi splitter cable and that did not work.
Most if not all midi splitters would only pass midi in one direction per cable - no bidirectional communication in other words. Ron, how about a custom splitter box that splits/duplicates the midi out from the GT side of things? Would such a thing even be possible or worth it from a market point of view? How about modifying an existing splitter box? Would it work if you were to take an off the shelf midi splitter and run a couple of wires from the unused pins on the input plug and run them to one of the thru outs?
As Toasterdude said the axefx ii won't pass midi clock information through, but according to the release notes the support was added in FW 9.01 but removed again in 10.02 because it was apparently causing performance issues with MFC101s. If you were desperate and wanted to get it working in the mean time you could try downgrading to 10.01.
Just a hunch but I guess if the thru port on the XL is hardware then it would be passing the exact signal that it received so clock would be there too. If this is a must-solve issue you could think about upgrading. Contact Fractal Support to get a definite answer on that though.
