Each also automatically loads the first Tone Preset within the selected Setlist (the Preset with "0" to its left). This allows you to then use the Bank Up & Down footswitches to navigate through all the Tone Presets within the selected Setlist. Note that no Setlists exist within POD Farm 2 by default, therefore, the Bank Up & Down and A, B, C & D footswitches will not perform any function until you create up to four Setlists and add Tone Presets into the Setlists. Please see the POD Farm 2 Basic User Guide for info on creating & managing Setlists (accessible via the POD Farm 2 Help button, or from the POD Farm Online Help site). · Effect labeled footswitches and Pedal Wah - These trigger the functions listed above within some of the POD Farm 2 Tone Presets.

The Toe Switch additionally has a "hard-wired" function to toggle your FBV Shortboard MkII "Pedal 1" function between the "Pedal Wah" and "Pedal Volume" assignments. · Pedal 2 - This control accesses no pre-configured assignment setting. But, since the FBV preset sets Pedal 2 to transmit a MIDI CC command, you can still utilize the POD Farm 2 MIDI Learn feature to map these FBV controls to POD Farm 2 functions. · Function 1, Function 2 & Tap - These controls are all set to access "Global" MIDI assignments, which only exist as pre-configured MIDI assignments in the POD Farm 2 standalone application and not in the Plug-In. (However, you can use MIDI Learn to create Global MIDI assignments 4·5 FBV MkII Advanced User Guide: Controlling Line 6 POD Farm 2 manually within POD Farm 2 Plug-In for any of your FBV MkII controls!) You'll see more about Local & Global assignments and MIDI Learn in the following sections. · Pedal Volume - Adjusts both the Tone A Level and Tone B Level faders within the POD Farm 2 Mixer View simultaneously.

[. . . ] · Windows® 7 & Vista® Sleep mode - It is not recommended that you exit Vista using the Sleep mode while you have the Line 6 FBV Control application running, or with your FBV connected to your USB port. Due to the behavior inherent behavior of Vista's USB Class Compliant driver, some USB devices (such as FBV) will not properly initialize when resuming from Sleep mode, resulting in applications failing to detect the device. You can resolve this issue by exiting the Line 6 FBV Control application, and then disconnecting and reconnecting your FBV USB cable. My MIDI/DAW software won't let me enable FBV USB MIDI Ports - First, check that your FBV is properly connected and receiving power before launching your MIDI/DAW software. [. . . ]
