This Appendix covers the MIDI features available for your POD® HD Pro device. POD
HD Pro will respond to incoming MIDI messages for remote access of its assignable
Footswitch & Pedal Controllers, and for loading Banks & Presets. POD HD Pro also
outputs Bank & Program Change messages when navigating Set Lists and Presets. POD
HD Pro additionally includes the ability to function as MIDI Controller device, capable
of sending customized MIDI commands to other MIDI devices. This functionality is, of
course, most useful if you also have a Line 6 FBV™ Series Controller connected, since this
effectively turns your FBV device into a full-featured MIDI Foot Controller!
MIDI Input & Out/Thru
The
MIDI INPUT
and
MIDI OUT/THRU
DIN ports are the connections to use for all
MIDI communication. (POD HD Pro does not include USB over MIDI functionality.)
To send MIDI communication to another device, connect a standard 5-Pin MIDI cable
from the
MIDI OUT/THRU
to the MIDI Input of your external device. To receive MIDI
communication, connect a MIDI cable from the POD HD Pro
MIDI IN
to the device
MIDI Out.

POD HD Pro MIDI Setup options

option. It is also possible to receive MIDI data on
this MIDI Channel and to pass it “thru” the POD HD Pro
MIDI OUT/THRU
to other
MIDI devices. To do so, be sure to set the
MIDI Out/Thru
option on this same Setup page
to “Thru.” See
