TheRealZap Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 all sorts of stuff you probably won't use.... you can change settings on other hardware, operate lighting, trigger things in your DAW, etc... it does not route over USB so you can't utilize it as a midi recording tool.

pugdealer Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 MIDI input on the HD500 lets you send midi commands from other sources/devices, like a DAW, to turn on/off fx, change any parameter within an fx/amp, change preset, etc etc...very useful, I use it all the time, specially playing live! MIDI output works the other way around...the HD500 can be set to control other stuff! I use it with my DAW so I can order play, stop, skip from the POD. I did a line 6 rig rundown video where I go lightly over the subject...may do a tutorial or something later on. The rig rundown should be online pretty soon! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay-man Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 How do I set up MIDI to control the HD500? I know how to set up MIDI to go out from the POD, but not the other way around. I might use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugdealer Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 On the POD HD manual, there's a list of MIDI commands that tell you what type of MIDI messages do what...for example, CC1 commands the expression pedal. On your daw, set the MIDI track to send commands over CC1, and it will control whatever the expression pedal is set to control...volume, wah, pitch, drive...whatever! I might do a tutorial soon! I really struggled a lot and a long time to understand and program it, and there was little or no info about it, so I think I might do a tutorial to help others find what I didn't!
