Re: Midi Footswitch for controlling gtr effects on PC

support@line6.com — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 00:52:03 GMT

Would the MIDISport UNO coupled with the Behringer FCB1010 or what ever it is work to control Guitar Rig 3 and podfarm? Been looking for a way to control my computer based software a bit better.

Controlling Pod Farm via midi foot controller.

support@line6.com — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 18:11:05 GMT

First off, is it at all possible to control stomp-boxes, Wah's and etc in Pod Farm with a Midi-Foot controller? Because I was looking around and in Pod Farm 2 and it said "Midi Learn" to turn certain things on and off. But anyway... I was looking into Midi interfaces and a foot controller and was wondering if I could get support from a Line 6 Expert or some one with substantial knowledge on these types of things. So here is what I was looking at...

The Foot Controller: A Behringer-FCB1010 Midi FootController

And the Interfaces I was looking at:

Cakewalk UM-1G Compact USB MIDI Interface

And a M-Audio PCI Digital audio card

So, in short would I be able to plug the Behringer via Midi cable into either the cakewalk, or M-audio card into my computer to control Pod Farm with it? And if anyone has any other suggestions on any other items please recommend away! Thanks for any help!

Floor Pod Plus.

Hello everyone, with the coming holidays soon I've been looking into purchasing a multi effects pedal to throw into my rig. So due to it being well priced and the amount of effects and what not it has, I chose the floor pod plus. But after doing some reading on it I have some questions. First of all, I have a Boss Metal Zone Pedal that I love to death, would I be able to make a chain with the Floor Pod Plus and the Distortion pedal? Because I'm not sure if all I want to use are the distortion/amp models on the floor pod. And secondly, how many, or can I run multiple effects with the floor pod Plus? Such as like an amp model and a delay or an amp model, delay and some fx? Thanks for the time!!

FBV Express question.

Just a quick question I couldn't seem to find the answer to myself, so I decided I'd ask here. Recently I've been looking to buy a new rig, a WHOLE rig guitar, amp and everything. So I decided to side with getting the Line 6 III 30 30w 1x12 as my amp, after choosing it I started to look around for some a distortion pedal but then I came across the FBV Express and FBV Express MKII Foot switches and after doing some reading on them they seamed to fit the bill. But my man question was, can I use the stomp boxes to switch between the amp models? Like going from the Clean setting, then to Metal or Insane for example. Because I really dont feel like doing a clean intro to a song, then having to stop playing, push the desired model button and continue playing. I just wanna be able to stop the switch and go into distortion or something or another. So are either models capable of doing that? And one more thing, both switches say they are self powered, does this mean the RJ-45 cable powers them or does it take batteries? Thanks for any help!
