Wrong forum maybe why no answers Try here https://line6.com/support/forum/30-pod-farm-pod-studio-toneport/

Thanks for the heads up what a PIA - crazy you cant just delete them or at least have a reset for user presets - hope they can come up with a faster solution - I like to start fresh if I want as it gets confusing with IR'S from purchased presets

Thank you much Ross :)

Of course they can - I'm in US

Great card thanks much :) send me pm you have it in message I sent you - there is youtube videos that show software where I think you change values outside daw maybe you just need to download software/ driver for your unit - thanks buddy and happy holidays to you

You dont have a software that allows midi assignment with your controller ? if you do should work

6 posts from the bottom here This is where each button is setup in my rig kontrol 3 controller software - the values designate which button will change to waht snapshot - maybe you know this but not having any luck - show screenshot of your controller software - maybe you dont have one ? not familiar with your controller hardware Notice value 84 thats what defines what the button will do - the value 84 will change for the other buttons which are different snapshot changes - see Russ ref picture you can see those values in his pic

Sorry thought you are using reaper - do you have a software that defines midi values for your hardware ? thats how it works here - the snapshot button on your controller is done before the daw - you say it doesnt trigger the right one because the value is done in your controller software not in the daw - thats what was confusing me also - values need to be setup before you do anything in daw - in daw your just getting the list to work - assignments are done in your controller software - you cant do it in the daw

If values are setup properly in your controller software before the daw nothing to do in your daw other than learning the snapshot list - the buttons will automatically change the snapshots - the numbers in controller software delegate which button is used for each snapshot which is what you asked above - you dont assign an individual button for each snapshot in daw - only the the main list is setup under learn in daw

I would assume those 8 pads at the top right send midi signals ? Try Studio One 3 demo should save you a ton of aggravation https://support.presonus.com/hc/en-us/articles/210050053-I-would-like-to-try-Studio-One-3-before-I-purchase-it-Is-there-a-demo-available- Can you show a pic of your controller software for setting up midi not your daw there should be a controller screen/driver for your hardware - would like to see what those settings are for midi values

Interesting question I just change them manually usually because I am learning one song I never need to change preset on the fly so I never tried and sounds like you cant from Soundog's comment

Great vette thanks for sharing :) headphone out is good probably not any better than your focusrite - but that doesnt have all the midi capability that I have - yes look into a software sound pumper - demo a payware or find a freeware for Mac- good luck

This is what I meant by amplification with free apo software - works great but you need something like this for a Mac - must be something

I do have a vette and here it is :) thanks for all the kind comments - no worries I will get you thru all of this - I highly suggest you getting studio one 3 for Mac its great - I can help you easier with that - had no luck with Reaper - well some but it was a pia and forgot all of that now :) This is my 10th Vette :) probably last its a keeper and the new one coming out in a few years will be out of my price range

Its my pleasure I know how frustrating this can be and I dont want you to have to go thru it also - had a lot of help from guys here especially sounddog so that helped me greatly Personal setup I dont have a floor helix - I invested more in my headphone amps because I mostly use a pc and native sounds as good as floor and Rig Kontrol 3 is powerful - I just run out of headphone jack in RK3 into my amps with know tuned up 100% Right now I have a wah pedal setup on RK3 (KUASSA wah vst) works as a global wah on all my native presets no fussing around (included pedal on controller) and a volume external expression pedal - cheap money plug it right into RK3 - have another expression pedal but not sure what I will do with it as I have another opening on RG3 if I want to (there is 2 inputs for external pedals) I have 6 buttons setup for each individual snapshots - havent seen more than that yet on purchased presets so have 2 more buttons available Also RK3 pedal has 2 options - there is a button under it to be 2 foot pedals not using it right now its a bit hard to make it switch between for 2 pedal assignments and dont want to break it Mac stuff meant free addon software that acts like an amp/equalizer my onboard sound card on my laptop is to low not loud enough with free apo software I can add an amp in software and all kinds of other stuff to play with now sound is plenty loud enough - I can add more than one amp in software but only one should be used and then play with equalizer Do search on youtube for a mac software that can do that - world of difference - you may be even happy with your current gear after finding a nice software that will bump up quality and loudness of you computer - i told you to search that phrase because forum would not let me upload a link for you from youtube

Mac stuff here - i would load some up and see if it helps - should Go to youtube and put this into search window Equalizer APO for mac

Also one other thing this is for windows and its amazing makes your onboard sound card like its on steroids - its amazing and free - this helps huge - maybe there is something like it for a mac search around - sound was very low with no oomf boring with this I could add an amp and a bunch of other stuff to play with even with my headphone amps I use this :)

If you buy one of these we get into more detail about those values there is a different value for each switch - let me know and I will help you out - notice value 84 (BUTTON 4) above that value will be intervals of 16 - meaning the button before this one has a value of 52 (BUTTON 3)

I just hit midi learn button in studio one then move a pedal or a switch on my rig kontrol then in helix native I move a slider or right mouse click learn on say a wah program I have and it knows what to do - I havent documented how it works exactly because it just worked I need to try fresh over and over to see how its exactly working - I didnt pay attention because it worked so easily in studio one - in reaper not easy for me anyway - I can show you screenshot of rig controller editor see below I think this is the base setup before you start trying to setup a daw notice the midi numbers - I am not good with all this stuff like others here but I know this will get you in the right direction - go for the rig kontrol 3 before you cant anymore - surprised there is a few still available - they rock You also have to make sure control editor is running first in background before entering DAW or board wont work

Heres one more option - I bought it but on the pc side of things the midi side of things was lacking could not get it to work with reaper and sent it back before trying it with studio one so not sure maybe it would have worked well with that DAW Sounded very good as good as RK3 - really wanted to keep it but midi assignment was a real pia - I think it was made for a mac more than a pc even software looked mac to me - I would just go with RK3 its tried and proven to be an excellent piece of hardware - and the wah pedal on RK3 is awesome - Icon V-GIG was very hard to press - action on factory RK3 is great compared to my external expression pedals https://www.amazon.com/Icon-V-GIG-Guitar-interface-Cubase/dp/B00709TN20/ref=sr_1_40?ie=UTF8&qid=1545076628&sr=8-40&keywords=guitar+interface

OOOPS just noticed your on a mac - sorry I missed that doesnt matter RK3 is a great investment and I would pay a bit more for an excellent condition version if you can afford it

Your welcome - this works for all kinds of uses I am using studio one 3 with helix native would never go back to guitar rig 4 doesn't compare to native imo I used a presonus high quality interface it sits in the closet doesnt come close to a kontrol rig 3 sound quality wise and I dont think a Focusrite is much different I can also add two expression pedals to RK3 - I also added colored plastic press on foot switche toppers work great and just snap on https://www.ebay.com/itm/MOOER-10pcs-Footswitch-Topper-Protector-Colorful-Plastic-Bumpers-C3A6/223060060644?hash=item33ef6a69e4:rk:1:pf:0 As for realistic tone I had same issue what I did was switch back and forth driver asio - windows etc then back to RK3 asio driver then it worked fine and sounded as it should I have the drivers if you are using a pc and can help you thru setting things up a mac you would have to figure that out but should be pretty straight forward Also noticed you have to re-calibrate quite a bit between DAW and RK3 midi controller - that was huge in figuring out why things were not working For instance I would midi learn in studio one - wasn't working went back to control editor software (driver) back in DAW all good Let me know if your using a pc
