First we’re gonna tell you how to backup your POD’s memory. Then we’ll help you get
your new 2.0 software installed. And, finally, we’ll tell you about the new Version 2.0
features and improvements later in this guide.
REALLY IMPORTANT: Installing the 2.0 software will reset
your POD’s memory, causing it to forget any personalized
sounds you might have programmed.
If you have concocted some of your own sounds and saved them in your POD, now’s
the time to think about backing them up with a computer or other MIDI device, or
writing them down with the help of the Pilot’s Log on the fold-out back cover of your
POD Pilot’s Guide. You can use the SoundDiver software that we supply to save all
your sounds on a computer, or you can back them up to some other MIDI device as
described in the POD Pilot’s Handbook’s chapter on
Deep Editing and MIDI
Control
.
We’ve prepared step-by-step instructions for saving your pre-upgrade sounds with
SoundDiver, and then getting them into your post-upgrade POD. This begins on the
