The Emagic SoundDiver software included on your POD Tools CD is an editor/
librarian program that turns your computer into a POD control station. Check 
http://www.line6.com for the latest update for this software. SoundDiver lets 
you store POD sounds on your computer and edit POD sounds on-screen, with 
access to extra parameters not available when using POD on its own. Included on 
the CD are installation instructions and an electronic user guide. Please refer to 
them for instruction, and for information on Emagic’s technical support services. 

You will need to have a MIDI interface for your computer in order to use the 
SoundDiver software. Emagic makes interfaces, as well as a line of software and 
hardware for music recording that you should check out for use with your POD. 
See the Step-By-Step with SoundDiver section later in this chapter for an 
introduction to using the SoundDiver software, as well as the SoundDiver 
Troubleshooting section.

Emagic can be reached in the U.S. by phone at (530) 477-1051, or at their 
German headquarters: +49 4101 495-0. They’re also on the internet at 
http://www.emagic.de, and can be emailed at info@emagic.de – U.S. customers 
note that the web and email addresses are “.de” not “.com” because Emagic is 
headquartered in Germany. A list of Emagic distributors is under the Apple Menu 
in the SoundDiver Macintosh software Mac.  If you’re using Windows, this list is 
available from the Welcome Window when you start up SoundDiver, or from the 
Help Menu > Emagic Distributors....

MIDI interfaces are also made by Mark of the Unicorn (www.motu.com), MIDI 
Man (www.midiman.com) and others.
