With these settings made on your FBV MkII, exit the FBV Control application and proceed with the steps to configure POD Farm 2 standalone application or Plug-In. POD Farm 2 Standalone Application - MIDI Input Configuration To use your FBV MkII device with the POD Farm 2 standalone application, you'll first need to configure POD Farm 2 to receive MIDI from your connected FBV MkII device's MIDI port(s). If you want to control POD Farm 2 Plug-In, please proceed to "POD Farm 2 Plug-In - MIDI Input Configuration" on page 4·8. [. . . ] My MIDI/DAW software has the proper FBV USB MIDI Ports enabled, but the software is still not receiving the FBV MIDI commands - First, check that your FBV is properly connected and receiving power before launching your MIDI/DAW software. There can be a number of settings required by your specific MIDI/DAW software to receive MIDI Control data from a device such as your FBV. Be sure to check your MIDI/DAW software's documentation and read through "FBVTM MkII with 3rd Party Software" on page 6·1 for helpful tips and setup examples. Some DAW software requires special settings for a "MIDI Control Surface" or "MIDI Controller", which may be separate from MIDI settings to receive MIDI input on a MIDI track, for example. [. . . ]
