Subject:MIDI capability Posted by: Gilles27 Date:9/18/2004 4:08:15 PM Does anyone know if there's a way to sync a Pod XT to the Studio5 as a MIDI input device? It has a MIDI out jack, but I've been connecting via USB. Being new to the software I'm a little lost. Please help! Thank you.
Subject:RE: MIDI capability Reply by: JohnnyRoy Date:9/18/2004 5:14:52 PM I don’t have a PodXT but according to the Line 6 web site it has full MIDI support and the USB port can also be used for MIDI: From Line 6: The USB port allows direct digital recording from your PODXT or PODXT Pro to your Mac or PC, plus the ability to use PODXT Pro to play back audio from your computer like a soundcard. It also allows you to perform software updates and communicate with MIDI applications such as the Line 6 Monkey intelligent updater, Line 6 Edit and GuitarPort without a MIDI interface – only a USB connection is required. I have an M-Audio Radium49 MIDI controller and it just connects to the USB port and ACID Pro 4.0 sees it as a MIDI input. If the PodXT USB is like this, you should be able to plug it into your PC, go into the ACID menu Options > Preferences > MIDI tab and it should show up in the devices available for MIDI input. Place a check mark next to it and click OK and you’re good to go. Let us know how it works out. ~jr
