• For FBV Shortboard MkII - Load the le named “POD Farm 2-Shortboard.fbv.” This preset
provides all the MIDI commands listed in the above table to access the pre-congured On/Off
and Wah pedal parameters, as well as some additional MIDI CC commands.
• For FBV Express MkII - Load the le named “POD Farm 2-Express.fbv.” This preset provides
the MIDI commands listed in the above table to access the pre-congured Wah pedal parameters.
MIDI Bank & Program Change settings are also included in both of the above FBV MkII presets to
allow footswitches to navigate POD Farm 2 Setlists and any Tone Presets within them (see “MIDI
Control for Setlist & Preset Navigation” on page 4•41). You can reference all the specic MIDI commands
and values once the FBV preset is loaded within the Line 6 FBV Control application window.
TIP: For more info on using the FBV MkII Series Foot Controllers and the Line 6 FBV Control application,
please see the FBV Control & FBV MkII User Guides, available from POD Farm Online Help.
MIDI Learn
The POD Farm 2 MIDI Learn feature allows you to instantly “map” a MIDI controller device’s switches,
knobs or pedals to most any POD Farm 2 parameter for remote control. This makes it super easy to
customize any POD Farm 2 Tone Preset with your own set of MIDI control assignments! To follow are
the steps for using MIDI Learn:
• POD Farm 2 parameters that offer MIDI control respond to MIDI CC, Note-On and Pitch Bend
messages. Before using MIDI Learn, you must therefore assign these MIDI message types to the
FBV MkII’s controls using the FBV Control application. Also note that most “on/off” switch
parameters within POD Farm 2 require that you set your controller’s MIDI CC switch mode to
“Toggle” (to toggle the parameter between on and off) or to “Momentary” (to set the parameter
to “on” only when the switch is held).
• You’ll need to congure your DAW software to receive MIDI from your connected MIDI
controller device to feed it to the audio track where POD Farm 2 Plug-In is inserted. See “How
to route a MIDI external controller to POD Farm 2 Plug-In” on page 8•13. Please also see your DAW
application’s Help since routing options differ among DAW applications.
• Once you’ve successfully congured your DAW to feed MIDI input to POD Farm 2 Plug-In - In
the POD Farm 2 Plug-In window, double click on any model in the Signal Flow View to load
its Edit Panel in the Panel View. Right click (Windows
®
) or Ctrl+click (Mac
®
) directly on the
model’s knob, slider or switch and select the MIDI Control menu. For example, load a Delay
effect model and then right click/Ctrl+click directly on the Delay’s Mix knob within the Panel
View to assign this parameter.
• In the MIDI Control sub-menu, click MIDI Learn. This places POD Farm 2 into MIDI Learn
mode, where it waits to receive a command from your connected MIDI controller device.
Right click (Windows®) or Ctrl+click
(Mac®) directly on the desired control
(Delay-Mix knob, in this example)
