Bank & Program Change Messages
POD HD500 will respond to incoming MIDI Bank & Program Change messages as follows.
• Load Set List: From your MIDI controller device, send a Bank Change CC0 (Bank
MSB), CC32 (LSB) message with a value of 0 (for Setlist 1), 1 (for Setlist 2), etc.,
followed by a Program Change message (Value 0-63 for Preset 01A - 16D) for the
desired Preset within the Set List. The Set List and Preset are loaded on POD HD500.
• Load a Preset within the current Set List: Send a Program Change message (Value
0-63 for Preset 01A - 16D) for the desired Preset within the current Set List.
When using the POD HD500 hardware options for navigating Presets (the PRESETS
knob, 4-Way Nav. Disc, and footswitches A, B, C, D*) the device will automatically
transmit MIDI a Program Change message corresponding to the selected Preset. These
messages are transmitted to the MIDI OUT/THRU DIN. It is also possible to congure
Footswitches to send Bank and Program Change messages - see the next section.
*Note that you’ll need to set your “Footswitch Mode” Setup option to “ABCD” for this
specific Preset data to be sent when pressing the FS5 - FS8 footswitches to change the
Preset on POD HD500 see “Page 1, Setup:Utilities Options” on page 2•2.
This feature allows you to use POD HD500 to control external devices by sending the
following MIDI Bank & Program Change commands. Also note that if you connect to
another Line 6 POD HD500 or POD HD Pro, the connected device will respond to the
Setlist & Preset loading behavior of the initial POD HD500!
