POD Farm 2 Advanced User Guide – Standalone Operation
6•3
Preferences
The Preferences dialog offers some handy conguration settings for the POD Farm 2 standalone
application. Launch the Preferences dialog from the POD Farm 2 menu (Mac
®
), or the File menu
(Windows
®
). There are three tabs of settings to behold here - Tones, Hardware and MIDI.
The Tones Tab
POD Farm 2 Preferences - Tones tab
Default Tone Author Name - Type in your name here if you want all newly created Tone presets to
automatically have this entered in the Tone Info and saved with the Tone Preset (see the Edit Tone
Info dialog in the Presets View section for details).
Automatically load last tone when POD Farm starts - This checkbox is checked by default and is
quite handy since it loads the complete set of Tone settings you were last using in standalone mode
when you launch in standalone mode again - regardless if things were saved as a Preset or not.
Use POD Farm for opening files with the following extensions - The three boxes here indicate if
these Line 6 le formats are currently “associated” with the POD Farm 2 standalone application...
meaning, if you double click on any of these Line 6 le types outside of POD Farm 2 (such as in a
Windows
®
Explorer or a Mac
®
Finder window), the le will automatically launch POD Farm 2 in
standalone operation and load the le.
• Line 6 Tone (.l6t) les can be loaded from most any other Line 6 software product - including
earlier versions of POD Farm, GearBox, Line 6 Edit, POD, etc. You can even visit the Line 6
CustomTone site and download a bounty of Line 6 & user created Tones for free! Note that some
models may be substituted in POD Farm 2 depending on the compatibilities of the hardware the
Tone le was created with as compared to your POD Farm 2 connected hardware.
• Line 6 Bundle (.l6b) & Collection (.l6c) les will automatically create a Setlist in POD Farm
2, with all their individual Tones contained within - see “Presets View” on page 4•15.
