Uploading/downloading patches with the editor
Downloading patches with the editor
To use patches from Axechange, follow these steps:
- Download the patch(es) from Axechange
- Open the Axe-Fx Editor
- Open the patch in the editor (File -> Open)
The editor will automatically transfer the settings to the Axe-Fx. From there, you can either tweak the patch in the editor or save it on the Axe-Fx like you would any other patch.
Uploading a patch with the editor
To upload a patch you created to Axechange, follow these steps:
- If you haven't already, create an Axechange account
- Open the editor
- Configure your Axechange account settings (Options -> Configure Axechange Account)
- Load the patch you want to upload into the main editor window
- Click the "Upload to Axechng" button (fourth from the right, just over the matrix)
- Add a description of what the preset is and set the appropriate options below
- If you have an MP3 clip on the web, type the URL into the "Link (optional)" field
- Click the "Upload" button
- You will get a message saying "Preset successfully uploaded to Axechange!" to confirm everything worked.
Uploading/downloading patches without the editor
This is how you do it with a PC:
1) Download MIDI-OX if you dont already have it: http://www.midiox.com/
2) Start MIDI-OX, and use "Options -> Midi Devices" to select your Midi device input/output (this might pop up automatically the first time you run midiox)
3) Open the sysex window "View -> Sysex..."
4) Select "Sysex -> Receive manual dump" to start listening for a sysex dump
5) On the AxeFx, press the "Utility" button, and use the "Page" button to navigate to the "Preset" page.
6) From here you can either select "Dump Preset to MIDI" (for a single preset) or the various "Dump Bank...." for the banks, press "Enter" to start dumping.
7) MIDI-OX will now receive the preset(s), and you can just use "Display Window -> Save as..." to save it to a .syx file
If you want to send data to the AxeFx, use steps 1-3 and then:
4) "Command Window -> Load file..."
5) "Command Windows -> Send Sysex".
Another (and much easier to use) MIDI librarian you can use is Bome's SendSX. You can download it for free at http://www.bome.com/midi/sendsx/
Mac users will need to use the Snoize Sysex tool instead of Midi-Ox. The steps should be very similar but someone with a Mac needs to cover the specifics.
