POD / POD PRO / FLEXTONE II

ONETRANSFER VIA MIDI

If you just want to transfer sounds directly from POD to POD, or between a POD

and a Flextone II or POD Pro, follow the directions below. You’ll need a standard

MIDI cable to do the deed. Connect the MIDI OUT of the transmitting device

(POD, POD Pro, or Flextone II) to the MIDI IN of the receiving device.

Transferring All Sounds - To overwrite all sounds in the receiving device with

the sounds in the transmitting device:

POD or POD Pro is transmitting: make sure that the MIDI button is lit

up, and press the Save button. The POD’s single digit display will say “A”

which means send All sounds via MIDI, and the Save button will ﬂash as if to

say, “press me again to start sending.” If you do press Save a second time, the

entire memory of the transmitting POD will be dumped into the brain of the

receiving POD, making one a virtual clone of the other. Pressing any other

button on the transmitting POD will abort the transfer, saving the receiving

POD/Flextone II/POD Pro from the big brainwash.

Flextone II is transmitting: (These instructions are also printed on the back of

the Flextone II near the MIDI jacks.) Hold the Save button and then press the

Manual button. The Channel A, B, C, D lights will ﬂash on the Flextone II.

Press and release D button, then press Save. The entire memory of the

transmitting Flextone II will be dumped into the brain of the receiving POD,

so the POD now has all the same sounds as the Flextone II. Pressing any other

button on the transmitting Flextone II will abort the transfer, saving the

receiving POD from the big brainwash.

Transferring Only Some Sounds - To transfer only one or more individual

sounds from one POD to another, here’s the procedure:

POD or POD Pro is transmitting: Start by having POD in normal

operating mode (no MIDI button lit), and selecting the sound you want to

transfer. You can make edits to it if you like; the POD is about to transfer

whatever settings you make active. So, once you’ve got the sound you want,

press MIDI. Now press Save. Use the Up button to change from “A” to “1”
