<strong>MIDI</strong> <strong>Setup</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>: Controlling <strong>POD</strong> Farm 2<br />

To configure your DAW application to receive <strong>MIDI</strong> input, the settings are usually found in the<br />

applications’ Preferences or Options menus. Please refer to “Ableton Live <strong>MIDI</strong> Input Device<br />

Configuration” on page 3•1 for an example. The steps are similar in most DAW applications.<br />

The next step is to route the <strong>MIDI</strong> control data from your UX2/UX8/KB37 device to feed it to the<br />

audio track where <strong>POD</strong> Farm 2 Plug-In is inserted. This is typically ac<strong>com</strong>plished by setting up a<br />

<strong>MIDI</strong> track to receive from your <strong>MIDI</strong> device, and the track’s Output to the audio track & Plug-In.<br />

For example, here is how to configure this in Ableton Live, where <strong>POD</strong> Farm 2 Plug-In is inserted on<br />

Audio track 1.<br />

<strong>POD</strong> Farm 2 Plug-In is inserted<br />

on Audio track 1<br />

On a new <strong>MIDI</strong> track, set the Input to your <strong>POD</strong><br />

<strong>Studio</strong>/<strong>TonePort</strong> device<br />

Set the Output to be the Audio track where your<br />

<strong>POD</strong> Farm 2 Plug-In is inserted<br />

The <strong>POD</strong> Farm 2 Plug-In should then appear as the<br />

“<strong>MIDI</strong> Output Channel” destination<br />

Configuring Ableton Live for <strong>MIDI</strong> Input to <strong>POD</strong> Farm 2 Plug-In<br />

Be sure to Arm the <strong>MIDI</strong> track<br />

to allow <strong>MIDI</strong> throughput<br />

Once this <strong>MIDI</strong> routing is <strong>com</strong>pleted, you should be able to instantly access the <strong>POD</strong> Farm 2 Plug-In<br />

Tone Presets’ “pre-configured” <strong>MIDI</strong> assignments and control, as covered on page 5•1. To create your own<br />

<strong>MIDI</strong> control assignments, you can also utilize the <strong>POD</strong> Farm 2 <strong>MIDI</strong> Learn feature - as we’ll cover in<br />

the next section!<br />

<strong>POD</strong> Farm 2 Plug-In <strong>MIDI</strong> Learn<br />

The <strong>POD</strong> Farm 2 Plug-In <strong>MIDI</strong> Learn feature allows you to easily “map” your <strong>POD</strong> <strong>Studio</strong>/<strong>TonePort</strong><br />

device’s footswitch, pedal, knob, button and pitch wheel controllers to practically any <strong>POD</strong> Farm 2<br />

parameter for remote control. To follow are the steps:<br />

• In the <strong>POD</strong> Farm 2 Plug-In window, double click on any model in the Signal Flow View to load<br />

its Edit Panel in the Panel View. Right click (Windows ® ) or Ctrl+click (Mac ® ) directly on the<br />

model’s knob, slider or switch that you want to control remotely and select the <strong>MIDI</strong> Control<br />

menu. For example, load a Delay effect model and then right click/Ctrl+click directly on the<br />

Delay’s Mix knob within the Panel View to assign this parameter.<br />

• In the <strong>MIDI</strong> Control sub-menu, click <strong>MIDI</strong> Learn. This places <strong>POD</strong> Farm 2 into <strong>MIDI</strong> Learn<br />

mode, where it waits to receive a <strong>com</strong>mand from your connected <strong>MIDI</strong> Control device.<br />

Right click (Windows®) or Ctrl+click<br />

(Mac®) directly on the desired control<br />

(Delay-Mix knob, in this example)<br />

Select <strong>MIDI</strong> Learn to place <strong>POD</strong> Farm 2<br />

Plug-In in <strong>MIDI</strong> Learn mode
