POD Farm 2 Advanced User Guide – How To....
8•14
Each DAW application offers these MIDI input options slightly differently. For most DAWs, this is
typically accomplished by setting up a MIDI track to receive from your MIDI controller device, and
setting the MIDI track Output to the audio track & Plug-In. For example, here is how to congure this
in Ableton Live, where POD Farm 2 Plug-In is inserted on Audio track 1:
On a new MIDI track, set the Input to receive from
your MIDI controller device
Set the Output to be the Audio track where your
POD Farm 2 Plug-In is inserted
The POD Farm 2 Plug-In should then appear as the
“MIDI Output Channel” destination
POD Farm 2 Plug-In is inserted
on Audio track 1
Be sure to Arm the MIDI track
to allow MIDI throughput
Configuring Ableton Live for MIDI Input to POD Farm 2 Plug-In
These MIDI input options vary among DAW applications - Please see your DAW software’s Help
for details. Also, see the additional documentation available from the POD Farm Online Help for
conguring specic DAW applications and MIDI settings.
Once the above MIDI routing is congured, you can map your controller to access the pre-congued
POD Farm 2 MIDI control settings, or use the POD Farm 2 MIDI Learn feature to easily map your
MIDI controller’s individual knobs, pedals and switches to the many plug-in parameters. See “POD
Farm 2 Plug-In MIDI Control” on page 4•34 for more info.
