# POD UI

A modern GTK+ application for controlling Line6 [POD family](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pod_(amp_modeler))

of guitar modelling amps via MIDI. Currently, POD, POD 2.0, POD Pro,

Pocket POD are supported; PODxt and Bass PODxt families of devices 

are also supported. Support for other compatible devices is in the works.

The app is written in Rust and is as much a project of learning Rust as

actually doing what the app is supposed to do. The UI is inspired by

[qtpod](https://llg.cubic.org/tools/qtpod/). 

The aim is to get feature parity with *Line6 Edit* on things like:

 - [x] controlling the POD devices;

 - [x] up-/downloading individual patches;

 - [x] up-/downloading patch libraries;

 - [ ] loading .l6t and .lib files;

 - [x] support for POD, POD 2.0, POD Pro devices;

 - [x] support for Pocket POD device;

 - [x] support for PODxt, PODxt Live, PODxt Pro devices;

 - [x] support for Bass PODxt, Bass PODxt Live, Bass PODxt Pro devices;

 - [ ] support for Bass POD device;

 - [ ] support for Floor POD Plus device;

 - [ ] support for other compatible Line6 devices;

### Why?

I have a POD 2.0 device and there are far more controls in it than there are

knobs on the device itself. Moreover, I have a Linux system. This provides a

whole lot of inconvenience:

 * the original *Line6 Edit* application is Windows/Mac-only and is hard to 

   find and run nowadays;

 * *Podman32* is Windows-only and hard to find and run much like the above;

 * *Qtpod* is a QT3 application. No-one has QT3 anymore.

What is a programmer to do? Write their own app, of course!

## Building and running

Building the code from source requires `git`, the `rust` toolchain 

([rustup](https://rustup.rs/) is a popular tool to get you started), the

Gtk+ 3.x libraries and goes as follows: 

```shell

git clone [email protected]/arteme/pod-ui.git

cd pod-ui

cargo build

cargo run

```

Windows and MacOS users may require additional toolchains installed, please

check the [development documentation](DEVELOPMENT.md) for more information

about dependencies and platform-specific issues.
