MIDI
NOTE: HX Stomp XL transmits and responds to MIDI messages over USB in the
same manner as via its MIDI connectors. For USB MIDI operation on Windows
computers, it is necessary to download and install the Line 6 HX Stomp ASIO
driver, available from line6.com/software. There is no driver installation necessary
for Mac computers or iPad or iPhone devices.
Preset and Snapshot Recall via MIDI
MIDI can be frustrating enough as it is without having to slog through a manual to
gureoutwhatmessagesyourparticulardeviceneedstochangepresets.Conveniently
enough, HX Stomp XL has handy helper text to tell you exactly which MIDI messages
will recall the current preset and snapshot.
1. If not already there, press VIEW to select Play view.
2. Press the Upper Knob to open the Preset list:
16A
16B

Reorder
Preset
Snapshot
PC:061
CC69:000
1
The dark text above Knob 3 displays the required MIDI messages for recalling
presets and/or snapshots from external MIDI devices or software. In the illustration
above, the 16B DIR:Heartbreaker preset is recalled with a PC (program change)
message of 061, and Snapshot 1 is recalled with a CC69 message of 000.
NOTE: HX Stomp XL responds to MIDI channel 1 by default, but this can be
changed from “Global Settings > MIDI/Tempo”
NOTE: When selecting dierent presets, HX Stomp XL automatically transmits
a MIDI Program Change message corresponding to the selected preset. If you’d
prefer not to automatically transmit PC messages, set “Global Settings > MIDI/
Tempo”>MIDIPCTxto“O.”
