Thanks, it turned out that the takeover mode was incorrect by default.

FBV Shortboard MKII not working in Ableton

support@line6.com — Thu, 26 May 2011 10:13:47 GMT

I'm trying to use my FBV Shortboard MKII to turn effects on and off in Ableton. I've followed all the tutorials on how to do it. I enable the REMOTE tab in MIDI/sync preferences, then enter MIDI map mode, click on the parameter, it tells me to press a control, I do, but no MIDI signal is sent.

I'm using some of the switches to control effects in POD Farm simultaneously, but surely the unassigned switches should work fine?

Should I assign the MIDI CC's in FBV Control beforehand or should I leave them as unassigned?

It seems pretty self-explanatory, but I can't understand why it isn't working.

RE: FBV shortboard and POD Farm 2

I have a POD Studio UX2. I recently upgraded to POD Farm 2 which is compatible with MIDI. I would like to get a FBV shortboard MKII pedal, but after reviewing it, the input cable would not be compatible with the UX2 as it isn't a standard jack. And how would anyone use POD Farm without one of the POD Studio interfaces? Including the UX8 etc. So I'm wondering how this would work for any interface if the cable is not a jack (for the footswitch ins).

Please could you inform me on my options here.
