Supported Plug-In Formats
The POD Farm Plug-In comes in the following formats, making it compatible with just about every
major audio “host” software on the planet:
VST • ® (Virtual Studio Technology) format for Windows ® and Mac ® recording environments
AU • ® (Audio Units) format on the Mac ® platform
RTAS • ® (Real Time Audio Suite - for Digidesign Pro Tools and Pro Tools LE) for both Mac and

Activating the Plug-In
POD Studio and Other Line 6 Hardware: POD Farm Plug-In is included free on all POD Studio
family devices, and available as an optional Add-On for all Line 6 TonePort, GuitarPort, POD X3 and
PODxt devices. You will need to first launch Line 6 Monkey and “activate” POD Farm Plug-In, as well
as activate any additional Add-Ons for your device before you’ll be able to use them. You can do all
this quite simply with the Line 6 Monkey application that is automatically installed along with your
POD Farm software. Please see the Product Activation & Authorization instructions in the Getting
Started chapter.
iLok USB Smart Key: If you’ve purchased the POD Farm Plug-In license for your iLok, then you’ll
need to configure your iLok key to add the POD Farm Plug-In authorization (you do not run Line 6
Monkey for this process). Please see the iLok section in the Start Here chapter for the details.
Where Can I Find the POD Farm Plug-In On My Computer?
Most DAW “host” applications will scan and find your POD Farm Plug-In automatically on launch. But
if you don’t see POD Farm in your host’s Plug-In menus, then you’ll need to configure your host’s Plug-
In options to find it (such options are typically found in the host’s Preferences). You have some options
during POD Farm installation to tell POD Farm Plug-In where to install, but if you did not define a
custom location, here is the default install location for each of the POD Farm Plug-In formats...
