Installing POD Farm 1 after installing POD Farm 2 can corrupt the POD Farm system files. This will cause all versions of POD Farm 1 and 2 not function correctly. The workaround is to uninstall both versions of POD Farm 1 and 2, and then install POD Farm 1 first then POD Farm 2 afterwards.

POD Farm 2.5x plug-in settings are not retained in Pro Tools project after saving, closing, then, re-opening project. Please try the following: Close all open programs out, go to the Mac HD/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Line 6 folder. If you are on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.x and 10.8.x, the Library folder is hidden. To 'unhide' this folder, you must first run the terminal program located in the Applications/Utilities folder. Once Terminal is running, at the command prompt, type the following: chflags nohidden /Users/Username/Library *The username is the username of your computer which has the house icon under Places [*]Hit enter. There will be no indication that anything happend except for a new command prompt if it worked.

[*]Then, close out License Manager and test POD Farm 2.55 standalone or plug-in within your DAW once again. 3. Amp Models no longer available in POD Farm 2.0 or older after installing POD Farm 2.5x This was a problem with POD Farm 2.50 that was fixed in 2.51. Windows: Completely uninstall both POD Farm 1 and POD Farm 2 using the Line 6 Uninstaller within Programs/Line 6/Tools folder. Download and re-install POD Farm 2.55 from the Line 6 website. If you must also have POD Farm 1 on that computer as well, make sure to install POD Farm 1.12 BEFORE installing POD Farm 2.55 on your system. [*]Mac: Throw away all versions of POD Farm 1 or 2 applications to the trash from the Applications/Line6 folder. Manually search in the following locations and delete any of the files found from within each of these folders: Library/Audio/Plugin-Ins/Components Library/Audio/Plugin-Ins/VST Library/Audio/MIDI Drivers Library/Frameworks (look for L6WXTG and L6WXTY.framework and delete them) Library/Application Support/Line 6 Library/Application Support/Digidesign/Plug-Ins (Username)/Library/Application Support/Line 6 Applications/Line 6 User/Documents/Line 6 User/Library/Preferences (Line6 preferences, should be something like com.line6.xxxxx, etc. Delete.)

RTAS Plug-ins Not Loading after POD Farm 2.5 Instantiation An error message pops up at startup with the following: Pro Tools could not load the following plug-ins either because no valid authorization could be found, the iLok key was not connected or the plug-in was damaged. It also lists the POD Farm 2 and POD Farm Elements plug-ins below the message. This is a Windows-based problem and seems to be an issue if Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable is not updated or installed properly on the computer system. Using Windows Update to install/update Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable so that POD Farm 2.5 can have access to the libraries it needs to run correctly usually fixes the problem. 5. Incorrect Graphics/GUI in POD Farm 2.5x plug-in If you are using a Custom Plug-in folder location for your DAW, make sure to delete the old POD Farm 2 and POD Farm Elements plug-in files from that location, and move the new POD Farm 2.55 plug-in files to that same location. On Windows XP, these new files are located in: C:\Program Files\Line6\POD Farm 2\VST\Line 6 On Windows Vista/7, they are located in: C:\Program Files(x86)\Line6\POD Farm 2\VST\Line 6 On Mac OS X, AU files are located in: Mac HD\Library\Audio\Plug-Ins\Components On Mac OS X, VST files are located in: Mac HD\Library\Audio\Plug-Ins\VST\Line 6 POD Farm 2.5: Fehlerbehebung: 1.

Pro Tools stürzt ab wenn POD Farm 2.5x einer Spur zugeordnet wird oder ein Preset in POD Farm geändert wird. POD Farm 2.5x Plug-In Einstellungen werden nicht vom Pro Tools Projekt abgespeichert nachdem ich es abspeichere, schließe und neustarte. Bitte versuchen Sie Folgendes: Schließen Sie alle offenen Programme. Gehen Sie in den Ordner HD/Benutzer/(Benutzername)/Library/Application Support/Line 6. Achtung, falls Sie Mac OSX Lion 10.7.x und 10.8.x benutzen ist der Ordner Library versteckt. Um diesen Ordner wieder anzeigen zu lassen müssen Sie die Terminal Konsole im Programme/ Dienstprogramme Ordner Ihres Macs starten. Sobald Terminal geöffnet ist geben Sie in die Konsole Folgendes ein: chflags nohidden ~/Library Drücken Sie Enter. Es wird Ihnen dann jedoch nicht angezeigt ob es funktioniert hat bis auf ein neues Terminal Fenster. Nun, da Ihr Library Ordner sichtbar ist gehen Sie zum Mac HD/Users/(username)/Library/Application Support/Line 6 Ordner. [*]CTRL + Klick auf den Line 6 Ordner und klicken Sie dann auf Informationen.

[*]Schließen Sie den License Manager und überprüfen Sie Ihr POD Farm 2.5x standalone innerhalb Ihrer DAW nocheinmal. 3. Die Verstärkermodelle sind auf POD Farm 2.0 oder älter nicht mehr verfügbar nachdem 2.5x installiert wurde: Dies war ein Problem mit der Version 2.50 und wurde mit 2.51 behoben. Windows: Deinstallieren Sie POD Farm 1 und POD Farm 2 vollständig anhand des Line 6 Uninstallers im Alle Programme/Line 6/Tools Ordner. Laden Sie sich die neuste Version von POD Farm 2.5x von unserer Line 6 Webseite herunter. Wenn Sie POD Farm 1 ebenfalls auf dem Computer haben müssen, müssen Sie POD Farm 1.12 installieren BEVOR Sie POD Farm 2.5x installieren. [*]Mac: Werfen Sie alle Versionen der POD Farm 1 oder 2 in den Papierkorb aus dem Programme/Line 6 Ordner. Suchen Sie manuell in den folgenden Ordner und löschen Sie alle Dateien, die in diesen Ordnern sind: Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST Library/Audio/MIDI Drivers Library/Frameworks (suchen Sie hier nach L6WXTG und L6WXTY und löschen Sie diese) Library/Application Support/Line 6 Library/Application Support/Digidesign/Plug-Ins (Benutzername)/Library/Application Support/Line 6 Programme/Line 6 Benutzer/Dokumente/Line 6 Benutzer/Library/Preferences (Line 6 Dateien sollten hier so aussehen: com.line6.xxxx, etc. Löschen.)

Eine Fehlermeldung erscheint beim Start: "Pro Tools could not load the following plug-ins either because no valid authorization could be found, the iLok key was not connected or the plug-in was damaged." Außerdem listet es die POD Farm 2 und POD Farm Elements Plug-Ins unterhalb der Nachricht auf. Das ist ein Windows Problem und scheint in Verbindung zu stehen mit veraltetem oder nicht korrekt installiertem Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable. Dieses Problem kann meist anhand des Windows Updates gelöst werden, da es Visual C++ auch aktualisiert und POD Farm 2.5 nur so Zugriff auf benötgte Bibliotheken erhält. 5. POD Farm 2.5x Plug-Ins zeigen falsche Grafiken oder Benutzeroberflächen an. Falls Sie einen benutzerdefinierten Ort für Ihren Plug-Ins Ordner für Ihr DAW benutzen sollten Sie alle alten POD Farm 2 und POD Farm Elements Plug-In Dateien aus diesem Ordner entfernen und die neuen Dateien des POD Farm 2.55 Plug-Ins in diesen kopieren.

Q: Will the POD HD modelers work with the POD Farm standalone or plug in software? A: No. POD Farm is not compatible with any of our POD HD multi effect processor devices however, Line 6 has developed a proprietary editor librarian software called POD HD Edit that is a free download and will allow you to edit your tones on your computer. POD HD Edit is a free download and can be downloaded from our Software Downloads Page.

Q: I purchased model packs for my Line 6 device. If I upgrade to POD Farm 2 do I lose my model packs? A: As long as you purchase a Line 6 license key upgrade for POD Farm 2 then all of your previously purchased model packs will work within POD Farm 2. The only time this would not happen is if you purchased a "crossgrade" license key to POD Farm 2 iLok. Q: I purchased a Model Pack for my Line 6 audio interface and now I want to "crossgrade" to the iLok version of the plug in. Will I lose my model packs? A: If you "crossgrade" to the STANDARD POD Farm for iLok then yes. Model packs are not transferable from a Line 6 device over to an iLok key. However, you can purchase POD Farm 2 Platinum for iLok at a special "crossgrade" price. See the online store for details. Q: I purchased my POD Farm version 1 iLok key "Used/off of eBay" (basically NOT through the Line 6 Website Store or a Storefront/Dealer and had the key transferred to my account through Pace. Do I qualify for any upgrades or discount prices? A: No. Upgrades and discount pricing is only available to customers who purchased the POD Farm for iLok new from a dealer or through the Line 6 online store. Q: I purchased my Line 6 device used and there was a POD Farm version 1 license key tied to the device but not to my account. Do I qualify for any upgrade pricing or discounts on POD Farm 2? A: No. Upgrades and discount pricing is only available to customers who purchased the POD Farm Line 6 licenses new from the Line 6 online store. Q: Do I have to purchase a Line 6 license key to use POD Farm 2 as a standalone application for Tone Direct Monitoring? A: Yes. Unlike POD Farm version 1, which you can use in standalone mode for free without purchasing a key, you will need to purchase a Line 6 license key from our Online Store in order to use POD Farm 2 as a standalone application. Q: Will POD Farm 2 run in Standalone Mode with a iLok POD Farm 2 license key? A: No. The behavior is no different than that of POD Farm 1.x Plug-In effect with iLok licenses. It runs only as an AU/VST/RTAS Plug-In effect within a support host DAW application. Q: Will POD Farm 2 run in Standalone Mode with a PODxt or POD X3 (Bean, Live or Pro model) with a license installed in this device? A: No. The correct Standalone patch editing software for PODxt and POD X3 devices is GearBox (currently at version 3.72). Q: Will POD Farm 2 tones load into Gearbox to put on my POD xt/X3 hardware? A: No, POD Farm 2 tones will not load into the Gearbox software.

POD Farm for iLok will be available in two versions, a Standard and Platinum version If you have POD Farm Platinum you will be able to run all possible models

Before we get into defining "Platinum", it's important to know that POD Farm comes in two distinct flavors: 1. As a plug in tied to a Line 6 device OR 2. As a plug in tied to an iLok key The difference between POD Farm and POD Farm Platinum, regardless of which type of device the license is tied to, is simply the number of amp, cab, and FX models available in the plug-in. POD Farm includes a limited number of models PLUS any models your Line 6 device contains from buying model packs, while POD Farm Platinum includes ALL Line6 models ever made to date. You may be asking "What does this mean"? Let's look at some examples: If you have a POD XTL and you own all of the Line 6 model packs (Power Pack, Metal Shop, FX Junkie, Collector Classics, and the Bass Expansion Pack), then you will have an equivalent model set to what's included in POD Farm Platinum. If you have a POD XTL loaded with only the Collectors Classic pack and you upgrade to POD Farm plug in, you will not have an equivalent model set to POD Farm Platinum, but the models from the Collector Classic Pack will be available in POD Farm. If you have an POD X3 and you installed your free POD Farm plug in then you will have an equivalent model set to what's included in POD Farm Platinum. Why? Because the X3 devices come loaded with all of our models out of the box. The same goes for anyone who owns a TonePort DI Gold version. Now, it's important to remember that the iLok version of POD Farm will come in two versions: 1. POD Farm for iLok (a limited amount of models included) OR 2. POD Farm Platinum for iLok (all models included) Some questions about POD Farm plug-in for iLok: Q: Can I transfer my POD Farm key out of my Line 6 device into an iLok? A: Currently there is no way to transfer a POD Farm license from a Line 6 device to an iLok key. Q: Can I upgrade my standard version of POD Farm for iLok to the Platinum version? A: See the following link for the upgrade path: http://line6.com/store/podfarm/ilok Q: Do I get a 30-day refund option for the iLok version of the software (as seen with the Line 6 licenses)? A: No, as iLok is a separate company there is no way to get a refund once the license has been purchased. We reccomend using the trial version of the POD Farm prior to purchasing to ensure you are interested in POD Farm.

Q: How do I get the POD Farm Plug-in? A: POD Farm is now a factory-enabled feature available free for POD X3, POD X3 Live, POD X3 Pro, TonePort DI, TonePort UX8, and all of the POD Studio computer interfaces. Use the Line 6 License Manager software to authorize your hardware with the POD Farm license.

POD Farm is available as a free download to everyone who owns the GearBox Plug-In including TonePort DI owners. POD Farm Plug-In will also be available for free to POD X3, POD X3 Live and POD X3 Pro owners. Q: I received a free POD Farm plug in because I am an X3 owner. Is it possible for me to transfer the POD Farm plug in to another device? A: No, the free upgrade to POD Farm for X3 owners is a factory bit that is bound to the X3 and cannot be transfered out. Q: I received the Gearbox Plug-In as part of a promotion (Annual GPO Subscription Service). Am I entitled to a POD Farm Plug-in as well?
