POD X3 Live & Pro MIDI Control

POD X3 Live and Pro units include MIDI 5-pin In/Out jacks, making them capable of sending and

receiving MIDI controller data for these X3 devices’ controls. POD X3 devices do not include USB

“software” MIDI ports. However, if you are looking for an easy way to get external control over your

POD X3 presets & pedal parameters, you can use the

Line 6 FBV Series Foot Controller

units with

your POD X3 family device! Please see the previous section covering the

Pedal Control options

that

are available in GearBox when an FBV unit is used with a POD X3.

For more information about using an FBV Series Foot Controller with your POD X3, check out the

additional FBV documentation on the

GearBox - User Manuals

page.

You can connect MIDI cables directly to your POD X3 Live or Pro to communicate with your device

via MIDI. MIDI control options are found on the POD X3 device (hold the Outputs button and scroll

to the end of the System screen options). Use these options to select your preferred MIDI Channel

- Choose from MIDI Channel 1-16, or select Omni to have POD X3 respond to all MIDI channels,

while transmitting on Channel 1. POD X3 Live & Pro’s MIDI Out port also echoes all MIDI messages

it receives, so that this MIDI Out can be connected “thru” to another MIDI device.

For more info about the POD X3 MIDI options, please check out your

POD X3 Pilot’s Handbook

.

For more specifics about MIDI CC assignments for Line 6 hardware, please see the additional MIDI

documentation found on the

GearBox Online Help

site.
