FBV MkII Advanced User Guide: Controlling Line 6 POD Farm 2

MIDI Communication with your Software

With your FBV MkII device USB-connected to your computer, you typically just need to set your

software application to receive MIDI control data from the speciﬁc MIDI Out port and MIDI channel

to which your FBV device is transmitting. For example, in the Ableton Live

or Live

Lite software,

the Preferences > MIDI/Sync dialog offers options to choose one or more MIDI controller devices. In

your MIDI/DAW software, you’ll see FBV MIDI Ports 1 through 4 from which to receive MIDI Control

data.

Note: These four ports appear titled differently depending on your speciﬁc Mac® or Windows® operating

system version - Please see the setup examples in the following sections.

By default, all your FBV MkII Control assignments are transmitted to the FBV MIDI Out Port 1.

However, you can set any individual FBV control to transmit its MIDI control data to any FBV MIDI

Out port 1 through 4 (see the FBV Control application’s Control Properties List section on page 3•1).

Windows

MIDI Port Communication

It is important to note that the Windows

USB Class Compliant driver, which is used for your FBV

MkII device on Windows, inherently allows only one application to utilize each MIDI port at a time.

The Line 6 FBV Control application, when open, uses the FBV MIDI In port and the MIDI Out port

4 for communication with your FBV device. Therefore, if you have another DAW software application

currently running on your Windows

computer that is conﬁgured to also use these same FBV MIDI

ports, only one application will be permitted to do so.

If you already have POD Farm 2 standalone application or your DAW software running, and one

has the FBV MIDI In port enabled, trying to then launch the Line 6 FBV Control application will

typically result in the FBV Control application failing to detect the connected FBV device, since it

is “in use” by the other software. One possible solution is to disable the use of the FBV MIDI In port

and FBV MIDI Out 4 port within your POD Farm 2 or DAW software. (You should be OK keeping

the POD Farm 2 or DAW software enabled for receiving from the FBV MIDI Out ports 1 through 3,

which allows you to still send MIDI Control commands from FBV to your software.) Otherwise, it is

recommended to exit all other applications when using the FBV Control software to provide full MIDI

port access for editing your FBV control settings.

Note: The Line 6 Monkey application also utilizes the FBV MIDI ports for its ability to detect and update

your connected FBV device. It is always recommended that you exit the Line 6 FBV Control, as well as

any MIDI/DAW software, before launching Line 6 Monkey.

MIDI Channels

Each USB MIDI Port carries 16 MIDI “channels.” You can think of MIDI channels just like channels

on your TV - your TV is capable of receiving many “channels”, but you’ll only be able to see the

program you want to watch if you tune your TV set to the speciﬁc channel. Same thing here in the

world of MIDI. By default, your FBV MkII device will transmit its MIDI data to Channel 1 on the

selected MIDI Port for each control. However, you can set any individual FBV control to transmit

to any MIDI Channel (see the FBV Control application’s Control Properties List section on page 3•1).

You may ﬁnd that your software offers options to receive only on a speciﬁc MIDI channel from the

selected MIDI port, so you will want to be sure to conﬁgure any such MIDI Channel options to match

those to which your FBV controls are transmitting. POD Farm 2 will receive MIDI on all 16 channels

(however, when using POD Farm 2 Plug-In, you might need to set your DAW or MIDI track to receive

from the channel to which your FBV is transmitting).
