I am new to the "foot controler" thing first off. I want to know how I can use my Shortboard MKII to control podfarm 2.5. I know you cannot use "bank presets" or toggle between them. I basically want to use it when I record DI but first I need to find a way to use it with my computer. I have these things:

Line 6 UX1 (With included cable)

Shortboard MKII (With included computer cable)

Computer running Windows 8

Podfarm 2.5 (with all model packs)

Guitar.

Basically I want to use the UX1 and the MK together but I dont know how. The computer cable will work with my computer but the MKII only turns on when its hooked up via USB. How can I use both together and hear my guitar with headphones or am I going to have to buy another cable or a Spider Amp. I don't need the amp as that to much money just to use a pedal. I want to be able to use the wah and all that stuff too.Or did I waste $200. It says its compatable with podfarm 2.5.

Someone help me out here I'm lost.
