I'm planning to buy soon 500...

So is it possible to use each pedal of POD HD500 to send different MIDI CC commands by midi-cable (or over usb - for me it doesn't matter) to other software/hardware - to assign different CC's to POD's footswitches now with v1.4? I want to use hd500 sometimes as a MIDI controller for Ableton Live. In Ableton its very simply to assign different functions on CC's # with a MIDI Learn (for example from my midi keyboard controller M-Audio Axiom49), but is it possible with pod to send them? My Boss GT8 can't (only expression and Control pedals work as a CC commands)

Yes I'm 99% sure that the POD HD500's ability to send MIDI CC commands using the programmable foot switches should work at least to some extent with your Ableton Live setup. 

The HD500 has been able to send MIDI CC's like this for a while, but not been able to receive and act on them before firmware 1.4.   However, i would take steps to practically ensure that this works for your actual needs before purchasing the HD500 by going to your local Line 6 retailer and trying the MIDI implementation out with Ableton on a laptop using a standard USB MIDI interface on the computer.

I'm not sure where I read in this forum, but it was 1m and not auto.  I remember that because that was my guess.

Thanks to both of you!  Glad I asked!
