I have the same problem with Sonar.

One of the Line 6 guys has looked into it but suggests that is it a problem in Sonar - not PF2. Trouble is I marked an answer as "helpful" but the thread is now classed as "answered". If you haven't seen my thread I'll point out that the stand-alone version works fine with the same set-up.

I hoping somebody can come up with a method of getting over this problem as midi learn was a major selling point for PF2.

Grum.

for me the midi learn function was also the main reason for ugrading to PF2.......ik can't get it to work with Cubase 5??

I'm still learning the Reaper, and it looks like there are several ways that might be possible to do this.

If any of you Reaper experts out there have additional suggestions, please post!

So here's how I set up a basic track in Reaper 3.4 for my bass guitar with a KORG nanoKey with POD Farm 2 on my UX1 under Windows. I'm going to cover the entire flow here including audio - pick the sections you need (for MIDI control only, skip down to 'F').

A. First off, check how your Line 6 device is set up for recording:

1.) Open the Windows Control Panel

2.) Double-click Line 6 Audio-MIDI Devices

3.) Select "Inputs & Recording"

4.) Make sure the inputs are what you expect, and make note of the channels.

For me (the simplest case), that means "Instrument", with the Record Sends 1-2 as Instrument Unprocessed (as well a 3/4).

B. Now, start Reaper and make sure it can find POD Farm 2!

1.) Select Options->Preferences from the menu.

2.) Under "Plug-ins" select "VST".

3.) Under "VST Plug-in paths", make sure POD Farm 2's directory is there.

4.) If not, click "Add" and add it.  On my system, the VST is in: "C:\Program Files\Line6\POD Farm 2\VST\Line 6"

5.) Hit "Re-scan"

C. To configure Reaper to use your device for audio:

1.) Select Options->Preferences from the menu (if you're not still there from the above).

2.) Under "Audio", select "Device"

3.) Set the Audio System to "ASIO"

4.) Select "ASIO TonePort UX1" for your device (OR WHICHEVER IS FOR YOUR SPECIFIC DEVICE! e.g. GX1, UX2, KB37, whatever you've got).

5.) Pick your inputs - in this example, I'm using 1 & 2 for unprocessed instrument input.

D. Now set up a track with POD Farm 2:

1.) Select Track->Insert New Track to create a track (CTRL-T)

2.) Click the "fx" button on the track, and select "VST".

3.) Select "POD Farm 2 (Line 6, Inc.)" from the list.

E. Set the track for recording guitar/bass and test:

1.) Click the 'in' button, and select "Mono Input->Send 1" (check back to Step A for other setups).

2.) Click the 'ar' button to arm recording (it should be lit red).

3.) Strum your guitar a bit - the level meter should dance.

4.) To monitor the track w/effects, click the "Record Monitoring" button to change its mode.

It's the little speaker icon on the bottom left of the track. Set it to "on" and play - careful of feedback!

5.) Turn monitoring back off for now (took two more clicks here to toggle it to off).

F. Create a second track for MIDI input and test.

1.) Select Track->Insert New Track to create a second track (CTRL-T)

2.) Click the "in" button on the track (near the bottom left of the track, just to the right of the monitoring icon).

3.) Choose "MIDI Input" from the menu, find your controller, and select "All Channels".   (e.g. MIDI Input->nanoKey->All Channels)

4.) Go back to the track controls and make sure the 'ar' button is armed (should be lit red).

5.) Turn on monitoring by clicking the "Record monitoring" button (the little speaker icon again on the track).

6.) Click the 'io' button (middle-top of track) to pick routing options.

7.) Under "Receives", pull down the menu and select "1:" to send to track 1 (e.g. POD Farm 2/Audio).

8.) Push some keys on your control, make sure you see a little red light on the track input bar.

G. Now learn some MIDI in POD Farm 2:

1.) Select the POD Farm 2 interface (if it's not already up, click the 'fx' button on Track 1)

2.) Double-click on the model you want to control (e.g. Blackface Lux amp in the signal flow) to bring up the model's panel.

3.) Right-click on the knob or button you want to control, and select "MIDI Control->MIDI Learn..."

4.) Turn a knob or press a button a few times and you should see the control in POD Farm 2 start responding to your MIDI input.

H. To view learned MIDI and remove them

1.) Click on the assignments view button in POD Farm 2 (it's the middle button to the right of the Line 6 logo, looks like a knob or PacMan).

2.) Click on the show MIDI button (right above the "Clear" column in the list, looks like a circle made of dots)

3.) List should show anything you've learned. If you twiddle a learned knob/control, the matching list entry should highlight.

Almost got through the alphabet....

Hello,

  This worked for me. I couldn't quite tell for sure but I think you may need to check how your MIDI track is set up

  *F. Create a second track for MIDI input and test.

  1.) Select Track->Insert New Track to create a second track (CTRL-T)

  2.) Click the "in" button on the track (near the bottom left of the track, just to the right of the monitoring icon).

  3.) Choose "MIDI Input" from the menu, find your controller, and select "All Channels".   (e.g. MIDI Input->nanoKey->All Channels)

  4.) Go back to the track controls and make sure the 'ar' button is armed (should be lit red).

  5.) Turn on monitoring by clicking the "Record monitoring" button (the little speaker icon again on the track).

  6.) Click the 'io' button (middle-top of track) to pick routing options.

  7.) Under "Sends", pull down the menu and select "1:" to send to track 1 (e.g. POD Farm 2/Audio).

  8.) Push some keys on your control, make sure you see a little red light on the track input bar.*

  Steps 7 and 8 are crucial to this if it's going to work. Also, remember to arm your tracks or else the entire process will fail.

  I'm going to be doing some video tutorials within the next few days that outlines how to set this up in various DAW's.

You're almost there though!!! You need to set your MIDI receive to whichever audio track you are using. You haven't set that. I'm going to do a video tutorial on this today. When it's done, I'll post it and let you know.

Here you go. Watch how I set this up and got it to work. Let me know if it works for you. If it does, make sure to pass it on.
