Appendix C: MIDI
C•1
appendiX c: midi
This Appendix covers the MIDI features available for your POD® HD Pro X device.
POD HD Pro X will respond to incoming MIDI messages for remote access of its
assignable Footswitch & Pedal Controllers, and for loading Banks & Presets. POD HD
Pro X also outputs Bank & Program Change messages when navigating Set Lists and
Presets. POD HD Pro X additionally includes the ability to function as MIDI Controller
device, capable of sending customized MIDI commands to other MIDI devices. This
functionality is, of course, most useful if you also have a Line 6 FBV™ Series Controller
connected, since this eectively turns your FBV device into a full-featured MIDI Foot
Controller!
POD HD Pro X can be used to send MIDI CC messages to any Line 6 DT Series amplier to
access many “hidden” parameters and create even more tones! Please see the DT Series
MIDI Implementation Guide
, as well as other Line 6 MIDI guides, available at http://line6.

MIDI Input & Out/Thru
The MIDI INPUT and MIDI OUT/THRU DIN ports are the connections to use for all
MIDI communication. (POD HD Pro X does not include USB over MIDI functionality.)
To send MIDI communication to another device, connect a standard 5-Pin MIDI cable
from the MIDI OUT/THRU to the MIDI Input of your external device. To receive MIDI
communication, connect a MIDI cable from the POD HD Pro X MIDI IN to the device
MIDI Out.

POD HD Pro X MIDI Setup options
To set the MIDI Channel for sending & receiving MIDI messages, use the POD HD Pro
X SETUP:MIDI/Tempo - MIDI Channel option. It is also possible to receive MIDI data
on this MIDI Channel and to pass it “thru” the POD HD Pro X MIDI OUT/THRU to other
MIDI devices. To do so, be sure to set the MIDI Out/Thru option on this same Setup
page to “Thru.” See “Page 6, MIDI/Tempo Options” on page 2•10.
