SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE FORMAT:
PODÕs System Exclusive message format is as follows:
F0 SysEx Status
00 01 0C Line 6 (Fast Forward) Manufacturer ID
01 POD ID
xx Opcode
yy Data
F7 EOX
UNIVERSAL DEVICE INQUIRY:
POD will respond to the universal system inquiry command if the channel received is
the same as PODÕs MIDI channel, the channel received is 7F (all channels), or POD is
set to omni mode. The received message is in the following format:
F0 7E <chan> 06 01 F7 System inquiry message
If <chan> = 7F (Universal All Device Call) POD will respond with the channel also set
to 7F.
PODÕs reply to Universal Device Inquiry
F0 7E <chan> 06 02 Universal Device Inquiry Response
00 01 0C Line 6 (Fast Forward) Manufacturer ID
00 00 0x0000 = POD Product Family ID (LSB first)
00 01 0x0100 = POD Product Family Member (LSB first)
xx xx xx xx Software revision, ASCI (ex. 30 31 30 30 = '0100' = 1.00)

DATA DUMP FORMAT:
POD sends and receives Program and Global dump data in High-Low Nibbilized format.
Data Locations in the dump are described later in this document with reference to ONE
POD Byte.
ONE POD BYTE (8 bits):
0: A7 A6 A5 A4 A3 A2 A1 A0
TRANSMITTED and RECEIVED AS:
0: 00 00 00 00 A7 A6 A5 A4

<program #> = 0x00 ~ 0x23 (1A ~ 9D internal programs)
<data> = 144 bytes nibbilized (72 actual data bytes)
01: Program Edit Buffer Dump
0xF0 0x00 0x01 0x0C 0x01 0x01 0x01 <data> 0xF7
<data> = 1 Program = 144 bytes nibbilized (72 actual data bytes)
02: All Programs Dump
0xF0 0x00 0x01 0x0C 0x01 0x01 0x02 <data> 0xF7
<data> = All Programs = 5184 bytes nibbilized (2592 actual data bytes)
