Pre-configured MIDI Assignments
As described on page 4•38 for POD Farm 2 Plug-In, the “pre-congured” MIDI control assignments are
also available for most of the “POD Farm 2” Source Folder’s Tone Presets. The POD Farm 2 standalone
application additionally includes several pre-congured “Global” MIDI assignments. As the “Global”
label suggests, these MIDI assignments are accessible at all times, regardless of the Tone Preset loaded!
(Note that this differs from the POD Farm 2 Plug-In behavior, where Global MIDI assignments are
only retained for the specic instance of the Plug-In, whereas in the standalone application, they are
always retained unless you clear them.)
The MIDI control settings that are required to access the pre-congured Global MIDI assignments are
as follows:
POD Farm 2 Global Parameter MIDI Command
Tap Tempo - Tap repeatedly to set the System Tempo MIDI CC 4, Values 127 = On, 0 = Off
A/B Switch - Switches between Tone A & Tone B MIDI CC 16, Values 127 = B, 0 = A
Tuner View display - Toggles Tuner display On/Off MIDI CC 17, Values 127 = On, 0 = Off
Tone A Level - Adjusts Tone A output level MIDI CC 7, Value 0 thru 127
Tone B Level - Adjusts Tone B output level MIDI CC 7, Value 0 thru 127
POD Farm 2 standalone application - pre-configured Global MIDI assignments
Tap Tempo - “Tap” on footswitch assigned to MIDI CC 4 at the desired rate to manually set a System
Tempo for POD Farm 2. As described in “System Tempo - Host Sync and Tap Tempo Options” on
page 4•14, you can optionally set most Delay and Modulation effects to follow this System Tempo.
A/B Switch - If you have a Dual Tone conguration with one common Source Input, then the A/B
switch box is accessible in POD Farm 2. Use a footswitch assigned to MIDI CC 16 to toggle between
feeding your Source into either Tone A or Tone B (also see “A/B Switch Box” on page 6•9). If you have
only a single Tone conguration, then this switch will perform no action.
Tuner View display - Set a footswitch to MIDI CC MIDI CC 17 to toggle between the Tuner View
and the previous View. Note that if you keep the Tuner’s “Mute” button set to Off, then you’ll continue
hearing your Tone A & B output when the Tuner is displayed.
Tone A & B Level - Both the Tone A & B Levels can be controlled simultaneously by a pedal, knob
or slider on your MIDI controller set to send MIDI CC 7. If your current POD Farm 2 conguration
includes only a single Tone, then the Tone B Level will not perform any action.
FBV MkII Users: All MIDI commands listed in the above table are included in the “POD Farm
2-Shortboard” FBV Control preset for Shortboard. The Tone A & B Level MIDI commands are included
in the “POD Farm 2-Express” FBV Control preset for the Express (see “MIDI Controller Devices” on
page 4•34
).
MIDI Learn
POD Farm 2 in standalone operation offers MIDI Learn functionality, which allows you to assign your
MIDI Controller’s pedals, knobs and switches to POD Farm 2 parameters in just a few clicks of the
mouse. The functionality is the same as described for POD Farm 2 Plug-In - please refer to the POD
Farm 2 Plug-In chapter’s “MIDI Learn” on page 4•39 for details.
