What is the Scene MIDI block

Available only on the Axe-Fx III.

It sends up to 8 CC or PC MIDI messages through the MIDI OUT port upon scene changes, over different MIDI channels. The MIDI messages can be different in each scene.

It must be added to the grid to use, but it does not have to be connected to the signal chain. The block can't be bypassed (but a scene can be configured to send no MIDI messages).

You can actually use the Scene MIDI block to send MIDI commands to the Axe-Fx III itself, by connecting MIDI OUT to MIDI IN.

"The MIDI block only sends data out the MIDI Out DIN jack. It does NOT send to the USB. The purpose of the MIDI block is to control other equipment in you rack via standard MIDI." source
