Step 1 - 

Hook your POD up to your computer’s MIDI interface. Use both the MIDI 

IN and MIDI OUT connections for bi-directional communication (so POD can talk 
to your computer, and the computer can talk to POD). Remember that POD’s OUT 
connects to the computer’s IN, and the computer’s OUT connects to POD’s IN. Make 
sure POD is powered on.

Step 2 - 

Install the SoundDiver software on your computer. We’ve included 

SoundDiver installers on the accompanying CD. We also strongly recommend that 
you surf the Support pages at www.line6.com to check for an updated version of the 
SoundDiver installer. Run the SoundDiver installer to get SoundDiver installed on 
your machine. Now, with your POD hooked up to the computer via MIDI and 
powered on, launch the newly-installed SoundDiver software.

Step 3 - 

First you’ll see the “splash screen” with Emagic’s contact info, including 

information on upgrading to the full version of the SoundDiver software. You’ll then 
get a dialogue box to select English or German (SoundDiver is made by Emagic, a 
German company).

Step 4 (Macintosh) - 

Then you’ll configure your ports; make sure you are plugged 

into the right port on your mac (Modem, Printer, or USB) and that you’ve checked 
the box for this port before hitting the OK button in the Preferences dialogue box.

Step 4 (Windows) - 

SoundDiver will now probably give you a series of dialogue 

boxes to OK regarding MIDI ports. These will say something like “Port XXXX no 
longer exists,” and will include an 

OK

 button. Typically, you’ll get two dialogues 

referring to SoundBlaster ports, and eight referring to Unitor ports (the Unitor is a 
particular MIDI interface). Go ahead and OK all these dialogue boxes, and then 
SoundDiver should give you the dialogue box we’re about to describe in step 5....
