• To switch through Setlists - At the left of each Setlist you create, you’ll see that each is
automatically numbered, starting with “0.” The Setlists include a “hard-coded” MIDI assignment
where you can set your controller to send MIDI Bank Change messages 0 through 16383 to call
up the respective numbered Setlist.
• MIDI Learn - Additionally, the Previous/Next Setlist buttons allow “MIDI Learn” (see
previous section), so you can set these buttons to “learn” any MIDI CC type command.
• To switch through Presets within a Setlist - At the left of the Presets within a Setlist, you’ll see
that each is automatically numbered “0” through “127”. The Presets within the Setlists include a
“hard-coded” MIDI assignment where you can set your controller to send MIDI Program Change
messages 0 through 127 to call up the respective numbered Preset within the currently selected
Setlist.
• Additionally, the Previous/Next Preset buttons allow “MIDI Learn” (see previous section),
so you can set these buttons to “learn” any MIDI CC type command. Note that these buttons
navigate through the Presets within the currently selected Setlist or currently selected Preset
Source folder.
You’ll see that sending the above MIDI commands to POD Farm 2 actively switches between the
Setlists and their presets, regardless if you are viewing the Presets View or not. Also see “Working with
Setlists” on page 4•23.
POD Farm 2 Plug-In Parameter Automation
Most DAW applications offer parameter automation capabilities for Plug-Ins, where you can specify on
your DAW track to change one or more of the Plug-In’s knob, slider or switch values over time using
editable track envelopes. Most DAWs further allow you to record parameter automation in real-time,
where you enter an automation “write” mode and then all changes to the Plug-Ins parameters are
recorded and displayed on the track as adjustable envelopes. Parameter automation is fully supported
by POD Farm 2 Plug-In, where the majority of amp, preamp, effects and system parameters are all able
to be accessed within your DAW host application!
DAW host applications typically allow you to access the list of automatable parameters for any AU/
VST/RTAS Plug-In by way of an automation parameter menu, specic to the audio or aux track where
you have inserted the Plug-In. Each DAW host software offers parameter automation options slightly
differently, so it is recommended you consult your host software’s documentation for their specic
instructions and parameter automation capabilities.
POD Farm 2 Assignable Automation Slots
Since POD Farm 2 offers a very large number of automatable parameters for its many amp, preamp and
effects models, you’ll see that we’ve added assignable “Knob” and “Switch” Automation Slots within
POD Farm 2 Plug-In. Each Automation Slot allows you to select from among the vast number of POD
Farm 2 amp, preamp or effect model parameters.
• 16 Knob Automation Slots allow you to assign “variable” type controls, such as the Mix knob of
any effect, or the Drive knob of an amp.
• 16 Switch Automation Slots allow you to assign “On/Off” switches, such as the bypass switch for
any model, or the A/B switch.
