sTarT Here
Congratulations if you’ve obtained a Line 6 POD Studio™ or TonePort™ UX2, UX8 or KB37,
since you are now equipped not only with a high performance USB audio interface and tone machine,
but also built in power for remote, hands-free control of the Line 6 POD Farm™ 2, POD Farm™ 2
Plug-In & GearBox™ software, as well as 3rd party MIDI/DAW applications! This document will walk
you through setting up and using your Line 6 POD Studio/TonePort* Footswitch, Pedal & controller
features for use with Line 6 and 3rd party software that responds to MIDI control.
To get the most out of your POD Studio or TonePort with these applications, it is recommended you
first read through the very helpful info in their User Manuals. If you cannot find these printed manuals,
then you can download them free from the Line 6 Support site at http://line6.com/support/manuals/.
*Note that the both Line 6 POD Studio and TonePort branded UX2, UX8 and KB37 devices include
the same MIDI control features. The info in this MIDI Setup Guide applies to both POD Studio and
TonePort models, unless otherwise noted.

TonePort, but in case you were too excited with your new gear to get to that yet, now is the time to do
