Mute Button - Tone A or B can be muted individually by activating the Mute button. When muted,
the respective Tone path in the Signal Flow View is dimmed, and no audio at all is passed from its
output back to the DAW. All models remain visible within the SFV and still fully editable when the
Tone is muted. It can be especially useful to Mute one Tone’s output when you have a Dual Tone
conguration in POD Farm 2 Plug-In, to allow you to tweak the opposite Tone and hear your changes
more clearly.
Balance Knob - Each Tone offers this knob to independently pan its output left/right. Obviously, if
the audio track or aux. bus where you have inserted POD Farm 2 Plug-In has a mono output, you’ll
want to keep both Tones’ Balance knobs set to center. Try panning each Tone differently on Dual Tone
congurations for big, spacious stereo results!
TIP: Double-click on the Balance knob to easily “reset” it to center!
D.I. (Direct Inject) Knobs
• Use the D.I. Level knob for Tone A or B to blend in some of your direct input signal along with
the respective Tone’s main, processed signal. This can be especially handy with bass guitar, to
mix in a bit of clean, direct signal to shape the sound. When the knob is set all the way counter-
clockwise, no direct signal is fed to the Tone output.
• Use the D.I. Delay knob to add a short delay offset to the D.I. signal, if necessary. The Tone’s
main output may be heard slightly later that the D.I. signal, due to the signal processing time
inherent with amps & effects models added in the Tone path. We’re talking milliseconds here,
but it could be enough to cause “phasing,” (a slightly hollow sounding artifact that results when
two off-time signals are mixed together, thus cancelling some frequencies). If you hear any
phasing when combining the D.I. signal, slowly turn the D.I. Delay knob to increase the delay of
the D.I. signal until the D.I. and main Tone output signals sound full. When the knob is set all
the way counter-clockwise, no delay is added to the D.I. signal.
Assignments View
This view offers two display modes - MIDI Assignments and Automation Assignments - selectable
from the buttons at the top left. These screens allow you to easily reference and manage your existing
MIDI control and parameter automation assignments for the instance of POD Farm 2 Plug-In. We’ve
added details about these views within the following sections:
• MIDI Assignments Display: Please see “POD Farm 2 Plug-In MIDI Control” on page 4•34.
• Automation Assignments Display: Please see “POD Farm 2 Plug-In Parameter Automation”
on page 4•42.
Tuner View
Click the Tuner button on the Main Control Bar to display the Tuner View and pluck a single string
on your guitar (or bass guitar) to get in tune!
Note that you’ll typically need to activate your DAW software’s track “Input Monitoring” feature to feed
your instrument input through the inserted POD Farm 2 Plug-In to allow the tuner to receive the signal.
