FBV MkII Advanced User Guide: FBV Control Application

3•9

Preferences

As is the case with most other software applications, we’ve placed a few of those more “geeky” settings

away in the Preferences. To get to the Line 6 FBV Control application’s Preferences dialog:

• Mac

- Line 6 FBV Control > Preferences

• Windows

- File > Preferences

‘No Device’ Prompt

When no Line 6 FBV device is detected at startup, then the Line 6 FBV application has the option

of displaying either an FBV Shortboard or Express MkII device conﬁguration for its GUI. By default,

you’ll always be prompted on startup with a dialog to choose which you prefer. If you do not want to

be prompted, select the preferred device here. Alternatively, you can check that little “Do this every

time” box at the bottom of the prompt dialog itself to set this behavior, and you can change it here in

the Preferences any time.

Note that this does not affect how the Line 6 FBV application launches when your FBV MkII device

is connected - It will automatically display the GUI for the connected FBV device type. Further, if

you have more than one FBV MkII device type connected to your computer at the same time, such as

both a Shortboard and Express MkII, then you’ll be prompted to select which you want the Line 6 FBV

Control application to work with (so go ahead and buy a few FBV units if you like!).

Show Warning Dialog at Startup

This checkbox refers to that dialog that pops up when Line 6 FBV Control application starts, informing

you about the important, automatic behavior where the changes you make within the software have

instant effect on the memory stored within your connected FBV device. If you grow weary of this

warning dialog, then you can uncheck this box here in the Preferences. Or, if you’ve hastily checked

that “Don’t show again” box in the prompt dialog itself but want to the reminder back, you can come

to the Preferences and check this box here to have the prompt appear again.
