POD HD Pro MIDI Setup options
To set the MIDI Channel for sending & receiving Bank & Program Change messages,
use the POD HD Pro SETUP:MIDI/Tempo - MIDI Channel option. It is also possible
to receive MIDI data on this MIDI Channel and to pass it “thru” the POD HD Pro MIDI
OUT/THRU to other MIDI devices. To do so, be sure to set the MIDI Out/Thru option
on this same Setup page to “Thru.” See “Page 6, MIDI/Tempo Options” on page 2•8.
Bank & Program Change Messages
POD HD Pro will respond to incoming MIDI Bank & Program Change messages as follows.
• Load Set List: from your MIDI controller device, send a Bank Change CC0 (Bank
MSB), CC32 (LSB) message with a value of 0 (for Setlist 1), 1 (for Setlist 2), etc.,
followed by a Program Change message (Value 0-63 for Preset 01A - 16D) for the
desired Preset within the Set List. The Set List and Preset are loaded on POD HD
Pro.
• Load a Preset within the current Set List: Send a Program Change message (Value
0-63 for Preset 01A - 16D) for the desired Preset within the current Set List.
When using the POD HD Pro hardware options for navigating Presets (the PRESETS knob,
4-Way Nav. Disc, and footswitches A, B, C, D*) the device will automatically transmit
MIDI Bank Change and Program Change messages. These messages are transmitted to the
MIDI OUT/THRU DIN, regardless of the current Preset.
*Note that the A, B, C & D footswitches of a connected FBV Controller will only transmit
MIDI Program Change messages when their Setup option is set to the ABCD “Presets
Mode” - see “Page 1, Setup:Utilities Options” on page 2•2.
