Hi!
I've had a lot of great help from people in this forum and i think it's time to give something back.
I have been programming my POD HD500 to work as midi controller for my Axe FX II for some time ( See my old thread ). I think, that my work is now completed.
This is my final version for all, who wants to use the Line 6 POD HD500 as a midi controller for Axe FX. I rewrote this to make it one, clear and easy to use guide.
So, what will work?
-You can control up to 64 presets from Axe FX with POD HD500. (Presets 1-64)
-SCENES 1-4
-Looper (or TUNER, if you don’t need looper function)
-Volume pedal
-Exression pedal 2
-Tap tempo
How to make it work?
1.
Download my POD HD500 MIDI patch:

2.
Copy my patch to as many preset slots in POD HD500 you need. Remember, the maximum is the full SET list of 64 presets.
3.
Setup Axe FX global MIDI settings from I/O menu:
MIDI channel: 1
Prog change: ON
Display offset: 1
MIDI PC offset: 0
4.
Set these cc# commands in AXE FX to "none":
CC# 41
CC# 43
CC# 47
CC# 49
CC# 56
CC# 75
CC# 83
CC# 86
CC# 90
CC# 69
You'll found the CC command list from the I/O menu
5.
If you don’t need the Looper function, you are now done, but if you want it, please read on.
-LOOPER MODE-
Let’s program the looper to work with POD HD500:
1. Go to Axe FX midi control page
2. Turn cc# commands from 60 to 69 to "none" and 122 to "none"
3. Search looper cc# commands from the midi control menu and change them to:
- Looper Bypass = 15 (Turn Tuner cc# 15 to "none", you can't control tuner anymore)
- Record = 60
- Play = 61
- Overdub = 68
- Reverse = 65
- Play once = 62
- Metronome = 67
- Turn rest of the looper cc# commands to "none"
4. Put a looper block in your patch and start looping!
This is how it works in POD HD500:
To enter the Looper mode, just press the Looper switch in HD500. Now the looper block is On and you are ready to control the looper. Press it again to turn the looper block Off and to exit from the Looper mode.
How the switches work in looper mode?:
-Press A switch to Record (autoplay is on as default in the looper block, so when you stop recording the playback starts automatically.)
-Press B switch to Play
-Press C switch to Overdub
-Press D switch to Reverse
-Press FS2 to Play once
-Press FS3 for Metronome
ENJOY!

except for the metronome. How do you set tempo and what not?
