Appendix C: MIDI
C•1
appendiX c: midi
This Appendix covers the MIDI features available for your POD® HD Pro device. POD
HD Pro will receive MIDI remote control of loading its Banks & Presets, and outputs Bank
& Program Change messages when navigating Set Lists and Presets. POD HD Pro also
includes the ability to function as MIDI Controller device, capable of sending customized
MIDI commands to other MIDI devices. This functionality is, of course, most useful if you
also have a Line 6 FBV™ Series Controller connected, since this effectively turns your
FBV device into a full-featured MIDI Foot Controller!
Note: POD HD Pro does not offer MIDI control of its internal Amp & FX parameters
via an external, 3rd-party MIDI controller device. Likewise, it does not transmit MIDI
messages corresponding to the adjustment of its Amp & FX parameters. Hands free control
for most POD HD Pro parameters & functions is available via a connected Line 6 FBV
Series Controller - see “Appendix B: FBV Foot Controllers” on page B•1.
MIDI Input & Out/Thru
The MIDI INPUT and MIDI OUT/THRU DIN ports are the connections to use for all
MIDI communication. (POD HD Pro does not include USB over MIDI functionality.)
To send MIDI communication to another device, connect a standard 5-Pin MIDI cable
from the MIDI OUT/THRU to the MIDI Input of your external device. To receive MIDI
communication, connect a MIDI cable from the POD HD Pro MIDI IN to the device
MIDI Out.
