POD Farm 2 Advanced User Guide – Standalone Operation

Pod Farm™ 2 StandaLone oPeration
This chapter covers features unique to POD Farm™ 2 standalone operation. Note that all other
features are identical in operation to those of the Plug-In, so please review “POD Farm™ 2 Plug-In”
on page 4•1 for details on other features.
With any Line 6 POD Studio™, TonePort™ or GuitarPort™ device as the connected hardware,* POD
Farm™ 2 can be launched in “standalone” operation - that is, as an individual application rather than
a Plug-In requiring a host application. This allows you to use your computer as a virtual rack of amps,
preamps & effects, and jam along with your favorite tracks. Or, utilize your USB hardware as a “front
end” Tone machine, where you can process your input source, feed the signal to the Record Sends for
your DAW software application, as well as to all analog and digital hardware outputs. In standalone
operation, POD Farm 2 also offers the super low latency benets of ToneDirect™ Monitoring, as well
as a complete Mixer View where you can independently control the signals fed to the Record Sends!
