Using Pod Farm Plugin with a Host That Won't Route MIDI to it

[joshglenn1]

I'm using pod farm on a Macintosh with OS X Mavericks. The audio software that I'm using is Apple Mainstage. I'm having an issue right now with trying to route many assignments to Pod Farm in MainStage. Mainstage apparently is not designed to route maybe two effects plug-ins. Rather, MIDI is assigned to controls on the screen, and those controls are subsequently mapped to a parameter exposed by the plug-in.

 

However, the only parameters (or controls) exposed by the Pod Farm AU plugin are as follows:

 

Knobs 1-16

Switch 1-16

Master Output

Master Input

Tone A Level

Tone B Level

Tone A Balance

Tone B Balance

Tone A Mute

Tone B Mute

Preset Name

Preset Number

 

As I (apparently) cannot route MIDI directly to the Pod Farm plugin in Mainstage, I need to somehow map these knobs and switches to components in the Pod Farm plugin. But I haven't been able to do so thus far. Has anyone else tried this?

 

How can the Pod Farm plugin be controlled by a host that won't route MIDI to it?
