Using M13's MIDI interface to control amp switching? By on 2009-07-16 05: I am looking at purchasing either an M13 or the POD X3 Live. Not being a MIDI geek, I am wondering if the MIDI capabilities of either Line 6 unit I mentioned can be used to control amp switching functions (switching channels on the amp, engaging.disengaging effects loops, boost, etc.). I have a Carvin V3 head, which is MIDI switchable. What I am looking to do, for example, is be able to configure presets or scenes that include all the given effects (Line 6) and amp (Carivin V3) configurations I want, and by pushing one button, being able to switch presets or scenes and amp channels via MIDI.
Is this possible, or would I need to purchase a separate MIDI controller to do this? Thanks, and a quick response would be greatly appreciated since I need to make this purchase very soon!

I have looked at both the Voodoo Lab Ground Control ($399) and the Behringer MIDI controller ($149) since we talked. The Ground Control is definitely cooler, more versatile, and has a smaller stage footprint, but is pricier. The Behringer, by what I can tell, should do the trick. The V3's switching functions are all either MIDI or analog/relay, and the Behringer has both (two 1/4' jacks for relay switching, if that's the way I want it). I just have to decide now if I want to spend the extra $250 for the Ground Control. The M13 and the Ground Control actually appear to be similar in size, which would allow me to either put them side-by-side at my feet, or just keep the Ground Control at my feet and have the M13 back at my rig in a rack drawer or something. Ain't gear shopping fun???
I could do it all day long! Re: Using M13's MIDI interface to control amp switching? By on 2009-07-22 04: I believe if your amp has midi learn capability or you can select which midi program change selects which channel on your amp the M13 will work now to select a channel when you select a scene. In other works assign clean channel to Program Change #0 and when you select Scene 1C on the M13 it will select this channel, assign your 1st gain channel to Program Change #1 and when you select Scene 1B on the M13 it will recall this channel. It worked with my H&K Triamp MKII. This was just not enough capability for me.
Another thing to watch out for when hooking up things is the M13 only had a Midi Out not a Midi Thru so it will only send midi info on whatever Midi channel you have selected on the M13. Hope this helps in some sort of way. Re: Using M13's MIDI interface to control amp switching? By on 2009-08-04 07: I don't understand why this WOULDN'T work. What you would theoretically need to do is. The V3 stores all of it's 'settings' for the FX loops, boost, and channel switches in it's own midi patches 1 - 99.
If the M13 sends a patch change when switching scenes *which i think it does* i have no clue why you couldn't also change the patch on the V3. There is no way to control FX loops on/off or the boost through midi on the v3, but if you were okay with just having switchable 'presets', you still might be in luck. I need to find a M13 to test this on. Anyone else tried? I can help people with how the M13 and V3 SHOULD be able to interact if anyone has this combo and wants to try.

From what I have tested with the M13, and the nfo provided in the V3 manual, I believe that you can get it to do what you want with the V3. Here's what it WONT do: Assigning a particular footswitch or footswitches on the M13 to change amp channel, loop, or boost on the V3. There are ways to get it to do that, but it's not worth the trouble of the getting the extra gear to do it, programming that gear, and implementing it into your setup. The Ground Control will do this, and change scenes on the M13 I'm sure.
Here's what it WILL do: The M13 DOES send out a program change when you switch a scene in latch or momentary mode. Scene 1 = program change 0. Scene 2, = program change 1, etc.
