Accessing POD Farm 2 Plug-In Parameters in your DAW for Automation
Typically, a selectable list of Plug-In automation parameters in your DAW host application will display
all 32 POD Farm 2 “assignable” parameters, plus all “xed” parameters, for each loaded instance of
POD Farm 2 Plug-In. The assignable Automation Slots appear in this menu, regardless if you have
actually assigned a specic amp, preamp or effect parameter to these 32 Slots. (Non-assigned Slots will
still be “automatable” within the DAW host, but it simply will not control any POD Farm 2 knob or
switch controls until you assign them.)
As an example, here is how an audio track’s Automation Parameter list appears in the Steinberg
Cubase
®
DAW application when POD Farm 2 VST Plug-In is inserted. Other DAW host applications
may offer this list of available Plug-In parameters slightly differently, but the same POD Farm 2 Plug-In
Automation Slots will appear in all DAW host applications, and for AU and RTAS Plug-In versions
as well.

The Ableton Live

DAW application (Mac

and Windows

versions) requires some added steps before
you’ll be able to see the POD Farm 2 Plug-In Automation Slots within its audio or bus tracks’ “Control
Chooser” (automation parameter) menus.
• Once POD Farm 2 VST or AU Plug-In is inserted on a track in your Ableton Live project, assign
the POD Farm 2 Knob & Switch parameters that you wish to expose for automation (follow the
steps as described in “Assigning Parameters to Automation Slots” on page 4•43).
