- Create a MIDI Preset for each song in the app.
- In the Channel field of the MIDI preset:

Axe-Fx III: Enter the bank number in Bank MSB (single digit) Enter 0 in Bank LSB Enter the Program Change number in the 3rd field (without preceding zero)
- Make sure to enter the data in the correct channel (connected devices must use the same MIDI channel. There's no need to set up a specific MIDI device in the app.
