Turning On/Off effect blocks on the AxeFX III

On the AxeFX III, go to Setup >> MIDI/Remote
Navigate to the Bypass tab
Assign a CC number for each specific block. A CC value of 127 will engage the block, and a CC value of 0 will bypass the block.

For example, I have Drive 1 assigned to CC#4. If I send a CC#4 value 127 message, it will engage the Drive 1 block. If I send a CC#4 value 0 message, it will bypass the block.
