POD EFFECTS

DEEP EDITING

For tweak heads and MIDI-philes, we’ve included a handy MIDI editor/librarian

program which is made by emagic, and called SoundDiver. The program runs on

Macintosh and Windows computers, and can turn your computer into a POD

command station. It lets you take “remote control,” and do everything that can be

done from your POD’s front panel, plus a bunch of other cool stuff like saving and

swapping sounds on the computer, as well as accessing additional effect parameters

that lurk deep within the heart of POD. All the details are in the Deep Editing

& MIDI Control chapter. Once you’ve looked over the basic information below

on the POD effects, you may want to check out that chapter to ﬁnd out about the

extras that a POD-computer-MIDI connection can bring you.

Knob. When you ﬁrst select the Effect you want, your helpful POD will preset the

effect’s parameters so you’re instantly ready to go with a great sound (you can also

customize this effect “preset” as described in Chapter 6). You can adjust the

character of the effect you’ve chosen by tapping the Ta p control, and turning

the Effect Tweak knob like so...
