Once the above MIDI routing is conﬁgured, you are now ready to put that FBV MkII to use with the

POD Farm 2 Plug-In!

The POD Farm 2 MIDI Assignments View

The MIDI Assignments View displays all MIDI control assignments for the current Tone Preset within

the POD Farm 2 standalone application and POD Farm 2 Plug-In. As covered on page 4•3, if you’ve

loaded the “POD Farm 2” FBV control preset within your FBV MkII device, then you’ll be able to

access the “pre-conﬁgured” MIDI assignments within the POD Farm 2 Tone Presets. Use the MIDI

Assignments View to reference each MIDI assignment and each speciﬁc MIDI command and value

required to control the assigned parameters. Use the Clear buttons to remove any existing assignment.

Local and Global MIDI Assignments

Note that “Local” MIDI assignments are speciﬁc to (and, therefore, saved with) the current POD

Farm 2 Tone Preset. Many Tone Presets found in the POD Farm 2 Source Folder have Local MIDI

assignments already saved with each Tone Preset ﬁle. “Global” MIDI assignments persist within the

POD Farm 2 standalone application or current Plug-In instance, regardless of the Preset in use. The

POD Farm 2 standalone application also includes several pre-conﬁgured Global MIDI assignments.

Local and Global MIDI assignments can be created manually using your FBV MkII controller and the

POD Farm MIDI Learn feature (see next section). For more details on the MIDI Assignments View,

please refer to the POD Farm 2 Basic User Guide.

MIDI Learn in POD Farm 2

The POD Farm 2 MIDI Learn feature allows you to easily “map” your FBV MkII device’s footswitches

or pedals to practically any POD Farm 2 parameter. You can use MIDI Learn to “customize” any POD

Farm 2 Tone Preset to include any number of MIDI assignments from your FBV MkII device. The steps

for using MIDI Learn are quite simple:

• In POD Farm 2 (standalone application or Plug-In), load a Tone Preset, or conﬁgure a Tone with

the desired models.

• Double-click on any model in the Signal Flow View to load its Edit Panel in the Panel View.

• Within the Edit Panel, right click (Windows) or Ctrl+click (Mac) directly on the model’s knob,

slider or switch that you want to control remotely and select the MIDI Control menu.
