If you just want to transfer sounds directly from POD to POD, or between a POD
and a Flextone II or POD Pro, follow the directions below. You’ll need a standard
MIDI cable to do the deed. Connect the MIDI OUT of the transmitting device
(POD, POD Pro, or Flextone II) to the MIDI IN of the receiving device.
Transferring All Sounds -
To overwrite all sounds in the receiving device with
the sounds in the transmitting device:
POD or POD Pro is transmitting:
make sure that the
MIDI
button is lit
up, and press the
Save
button. The POD’s single digit display will say “
A
”
which means send All sounds via MIDI, and the
Save
button will flash as if to
say, “press me again to start sending.” If you do press
Save
a second time, the
entire memory of the transmitting POD will be dumped into the brain of the
receiving POD, making one a virtual clone of the other. Pressing any other
button on the transmitting POD will abort the transfer, saving the receiving
POD/Flextone II/POD Pro from the big brainwash.
Flextone II is transmitting:
(These instructions are also printed on the back of
the Flextone II near the MIDI jacks.) Hold the
Save
button and then press the
Manual
button. The Channel
A
,
B
,
C
,
D
lights will flash on the Flextone II.
Press and release
D
button, then press
Save
. The entire memory of the
transmitting Flextone II will be dumped into the brain of the receiving POD,
so the POD now has all the same sounds as the Flextone II. Pressing any other
button on the transmitting Flextone II will abort the transfer, saving the
receiving POD from the big brainwash.
Transferring Only Some Sounds -
To transfer only one or more individual
sounds from one POD to another, here’s the procedure:
POD or POD Pro is transmitting:
Start by having POD in normal
operating mode (no MIDI button lit), and selecting the sound you want to
transfer. You can make edits to it if you like; the POD is about to transfer
whatever settings you make active. So, once you’ve got the sound you want,
press
MIDI
. Now press
Save
. Use the
Up
button to change from “
A
” to “
1
”
