MIDI Setup Guide: MIDI Control Configuration

MIDI ConTrol ConfIguraTIon
In this chapter we’ll show how to configure the specific type of MIDI messages your POD Studio™/
TonePort™ controllers transmit when you access them. This is all accomplished using the Line 6
MIDI Control Settings dialog, where you can view these settings, as well as create and save your own
customized preset control mappings to load any time.
Default MIDI Control Settings
UX2, UX8 & KB37 ship with a default set of MIDI Control Messages assigned to their controllers,
as shown in the handy table below. Your device will send these MIDI commands right “out of the
box”, without any further configuration needed. Note that by default your Line 6 device sends out two
different sets of MIDI messages - one set is transmitted directly to the Line 6 GearBox™ application
(if launched), and the other transmitted to the POD Studio/TonePort USB MIDI Out port. MIDI data
transmitted out the USB MIDI Out port are the ones you’ll be sending to POD Farm™ 2 and other
software.
There are a number of preset “Controller Mappings” available for you to select from within the Line 6
Audio-MIDI Devices dialog. The GearBox & MIDI Default preset is the one initially loaded for your
device. This preset consists of the following settings. Note that the GearBox Parameter column lists
what the specific GearBox action will be, while the MIDI Message column lists what is transmitted to
the USB MIDI Out port:
