FBV MkII Advanced User Guide: Reference
7•2
If FBV MkII is a MIDI device, why does it not have any 5-pin MIDI cable connectors on it? FBV
MkII does all its MIDI communication via its USB connection to your computer. When you launch
any MIDI or DAW software, you’ll be able to select any of the four FBV USB MIDI Out ports to
receive MIDI from it. No messy MIDI cables are needed!
Can I use FBV MkII to control POD Farm™ 1.x Plug-In or standalone application? Since POD
Farm 1.x version does not support remote control via MIDI, it is not possible to directly control it
with FBV. However, when using POD Farm Plug-In within a DAW host application, you typically
can set FBV to control any Plug-In’s parameters in real-time, and to record automation. Therefore, it
is also possible to control POD Farm Plug-In’s parameters this way as well - please see the “Ableton
Live® - FBV MkII Setup Tutorial” on page 6•4 as well as the other setup tutorials and your MIDI/DAW
software documentation. The newer POD Farm™ 2 version Plug-In and standalone application both
fully support MIDI control via FBV MkII controllers (see ”FBV™ MkII with Line 6 POD Farm™ 2”
on page 4•1).
My MIDI/DAW software requires SysEx messages to control some functions - can I customize
and send SysEx with FBV MkII? FBV MkII devices can be set to transmit MMC (MIDI Machine
Control) messages, which is one type of SysEx message, however, the Line 6 FBV Control application
does not provide extended capabilities to allow you to manually type in or import/export SysEx MIDI
data.
Why doesn’t my software see FBV MkII as an available MIDI device? The most typical cause of
this is launching your MIDI/DAW software before connecting your FBV USB cable to your computer.
Try exiting all software, be sure your FBV is connected and launch your software again. Also try
connecting directly to one of your computer’s on-board USB ports rather than a USB hub if you still
experience problems.
How can I edit and save an FBV preset on my computer without also automatically overwriting the
settings currently stored on my FBV device? When using the Line 6 FBV Control software, changes
to any settings in the software are instantly sent to the connected FBV device, updating the current
settings stored in FBV’s internal memory. But you can simply disconnect the USB cable from your
FBV and still use the Line 6 FBV Control application if you want to edit and save any FBV preset file.
Then, whenever you like, just connect your FBV again and go to File > Open and select your saved
.fbv preset file to load it onto your FBV device.
My friend has an FBV MkII too - can we share preset files? Sure! You can create, edit and save your
own custom FBV presets using the free Line 6 FBV Control software, and then simply send the .fbv
file to any other FBV MkII user to load. Note that the files are also compatible even if one of you has
a Shortboard MkII and the other an Express MkII (the additional Controls of a Shortboard-created
preset are simply ignored by an Express unit).
Troubleshooting
Running into problems? To follow are some things to check for FBV MkII device operation issues.
Line 6 Amp/POD
®
Operation
FBV won’t power on when connected to my Line 6 amp/POD - FBV MkII devices receive power
from the RJ-45 cable connection to your amp/POD. Therefore, the culprit is typically that your RJ-
45 cable is not securely connected to both devices (push the cable into the device until you feel it
“click”), or that your cable itself is bad. Note that your connected amp or POD must also be powered
“on” for FBV to receive power!

- In many cases this is all the configuration needed and the midi daw software will then receive your fbv midi commands some applications however offer additional options to choose the brand or type of midi controller device to communicate properly with it for applications that offer this you ll want to look for the option to choose a generic controller device further some applications also allow you to rename your midi device port names giving them more friendly titles see your midi software s help documentation for specific instructions you can also check the following sections to see examples of a few popular midi application examples 48
- In some midi and daw applications preferences or midi options you may see only a set of midi input settings rather than a specific control surface or midi control option as described above if your midi daw software s documentation instructs you to use this for selecting midi controller devices then you ll want to select the fbv midi port to which your controls are transmitting by default all your fbv mkii control assignments are transmitted to the fbv midi out port 1 but you can change this midi out port setting per control within the line 6 fbv control application s control properties list see page 3 3 48
- Midi input options in your software 48
- Some applications specifically offer a selector to choose one or more connected control surface or midi controller devices and you should first look to see if your software offers this type of option you should see 4 selectable options for your connected fbv mkii device one for each midi out port note the slight differences for how your fbv mkii midi out ports appear within computer operating systems for fbv express mkii you ll see express in place of shortboard in these titles 48
- You ll want to select the fbv midi out port to which your fbv controls are transmitting by default all fbv mkii control assignments are configured to transmit to the fbv midi out port 1 but you can change this midi out port setting per control within the line 6 fbv control application s control properties list see page 3 3 48
