ART x-15, POD Pro, & G Major set up help?

[ejs0614]

Anyone here fluently versed in this type of set up?

If I read the x15 manual set up I should just run the x15 midi out to the g major midi in, and then midi thru on the POD...?

I assume I can change POD patches as well as g major patches...any help is appreciated!

I have the x15 and the g major working fine, just wanting to take it a step further...

(btw thanks for the x15 manual Mark!)

If there is a MIDI thru on the G-Major run that to the MIDI IN on the POD.

Got that ...but cannot seem to get the POD to change patches...still digging thru the manual and www research...but the line6 website seems to be down...

You will need to check and see what MIDI channel each are receiving on. I think OMNI is all channels. Check to see if the G-Major has a setting to turn on MIDI thru.

Thanks Jack - I will have to wait for the line6 site comes back up to find out what the POD Pro is set at...you are correct, the g major is Omni...I don't see a setting to toggle thru on/off though...I give up until tomorrow night...

ok, I have the x15 changing patches on both g major and POD Pro, but I still need some help...the POD incrementally goes up same as the g major patches...as you can tell I am not a midi guru!

Does anyone know if there is a way to control the two units seperately instead of both at the same time?

I don't know if I can map the g major patch to the POD patch or if I need to choose seperately...sorry if I am not making sense...midi can be confounding sometimes!

If I'm reading this correctly (and bear with me as I am far from a MIDI guru myself). I have 5 or six presets that I use, 3 more so than the other 2 or 3. Clean, dirty rhythm and dirty lead. They are set up as patches 1, 2 and 3 on my midi controller, respectively. What I did was program my preamp and Quadraverb to correspond with the pedals on the MIDI controller. So if I'm on bank one, patch one on the controller, I programmed the preamp for clean tube and the effects with a little reverb, chorus and EQ. What I'm trying to get across is that there's no way to control the units independantly (as far as I know) with a MIDI controller, but you set up your gear to work with the MIDI controller. At least that's what I do and it works great for me.

I'm not sure how clear that is or how much it helps.
