Note: This version of POD Farm includes support for both Line 6 hardware and iLok USB Smart Key.  Licenses for each hardware platform are unique and not interchangeable.  POD Farm or POD Farm Platinum iLok licenses are required for use with iLok keys. Activations for iLok keys are included with the retail version of the plug-ins or can be purchased from the Line 6 Online Store

 

POD Farm and POD Farm Platinum iLok users may may choose not to install  the  components required for Line 6 devices.  Likewise, POD Studio and other  Line 6 hardware  users of POD Farm may ignore any iLok specific installer components.

Known Issues:


  • When using  DAW automation to change model types all model parameter settings revert  to their default settings. Work around is to instantiate POD Farm on  separate tracks for alternating amp/effect setups or automate all  parameters after a automating a model change.
  • Loaded  presets which include unauthorized cabinet models do not provide a  graphic indication that the model is not active. The user must look at  the drop down menu to know if the cabinet model is available or not. A  user will never be able to create a preset (from scratch) which includes  a model which is not owned. To  avoid presets consisting unauthorized  models, sort the preset browser’s metadata by “Own All Models”.
  • Not all  automation parameters are available in Ableton Live's automation menu.  Ableton Live is designed to display 128 automation parameters.
  • POD Farm  may not find previously installed GearBox presets by default. Clicking  the refresh button in the "Presets" view will show the presets properly.
  • If you  create a preset with an amp and then delete that amp and perform a "Save  As", you'll notice the deleted amp is called out in the "Save Tone As"  window. This is just a GUI issue and your preset has been saved with no  amp.


Mac Exclusive:

  • Clicking on  a tone icon will automatically launch Gearbox if it is also installed  on your computer. You need to manually associate tones on your Mac to  open using POD Farm. Right click or CTRL click on the icon and select  "Open With."
