2.0 Download - "Waiting for Command"

support@line6.com — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 12:30:02 GMT

I downloaded the MIDI Ox program, and am using my Axiom 49 Keyboard as an interface. I'm able to send the update, which takes about 8-10 mins like it says. However, on the M13, even after it's finished downloading, "Flash Update Mode - Waiting For Command" stays frozen on the display (on FX Unit 1). Doesn't seem like the update is going through (I'm not seeing the new presets). Anyone experienced this?

M13 is nice, but.....

Hi,

After being let down by a lot of 19" fx units I would like to know if the M13 is ever going to go 19". I am a fan of the Pro Series Line 6 used to make. The M13 (M19 Pro could be a good name) could replace these. Is there any chance this is going to happen..? Line 6 has the good interface and sounds to make it work. It would make minced meat of a G-Major imho. And I would buy one to clean up my rack!

M13 Switching off

support@line6.com — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 22:07:43 GMT

Hi,

I have had my M13 for 11 months now and it has never let me down during rehersals or gigs.

Yesterday it started switching off the on again. Is this a known issue? I live in the UK please advise.

Possibility of effects unit blowing amp?

support@line6.com — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:04:24 GMT

I use the M13 with my Mesa Boogie Dual Rec, I was recording and I wanted to record some feedback for ambient noise tracks, so I switched on a delay and a reverb on the effects unit. For a second it was feeding back nicely, with the decay and mix controls turned up quite high on both effects, but it began to build and build, louder and louder (feedback loop?) until I had to hit the effects off. Instantly after my amp was noisy as hell, humming very loudly and making scratchy noises when I adjusted the knobs on the front of my amp. I hit the standby button off/on and there is a THUMP that is ridiculously loud coming from the speaker. I know for certain this isn't a speaker issue, it's either my amp (which has been sent in and diagnosed before when I experienced the same problem, they replaced my loaded power tube board because the screen capacitors were fried...but by what? After that it worked fine) or my effects pedal having some weird issue and loading my amp down when I use too much delay and reverb at the same time. On a timeline basis, there is a correlation because this never has happened before I owned the M13, and since I've had it this is the second time this has happened. When it does happen, it blows the loaded power tube board, the screen caps, the power tubes, and the diodes. Add to that the price for it to have the parts replaced at $100 an hour, the cost of parts, and the cost of shipping...it's a small fortune. I can't afford it this time, and I'm really frustrated. Ideas or suggestions? I'd be very greatful if a Line 6 tech employee would join in on this little discussion.

M13 Editor (for Mac)?

support@line6.com — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:36:00 GMT

Does anyone know of software that will edit the M13 - like a GearBox for the M13?

Is Line 6 developing one? Or adding it to GearBox?

Reordering FX's

support@line6.com — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:25:49 GMT

I'm new to the M13.... FX's are copied to a new location, but is there an easy way to exchange FX's? (ie. exchange settings in FX Unit 1 with setttings in FX Unit 3).

This would allow reordering of FX's without using a temporary FX spot. For example, to exchange FX1-A with FX3-A, you would have to copy FX3-A to a temporary spot such as FX1-C, then copy FX1-A to FX3-A, and finally copy FX1-C to FX1-A. A simple exchange command would accomplish this in one step.

Customtone for M13

support@line6.com — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:55:26 GMT

Many owners of M13/M9 have been trying to create great scenes for their favorite musicians. It would be very nice if these scene's could be gathered at line6.com/customtone.

...but there's nothing there.

There are a few sites that gather patches/scenes like www.vettaville.nl but there are a very few.

So why is there no M9/13 section in Customtone ? And when can we expect it

Update

support@line6.com — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:09:54 GMT

Hi guys, Im sure this has been answered a million times and so Im sorry to waste peoples time and the space on this forum.

Can some one direct me to a site in England that is selling the necessary cables to do the update ?

Thanks

I got a download Fail format error on my M13. Now it comes up in flash update mode???

support@line6.com — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 00:18:34 GMT

Is there a way to get the firmware updated? All i get are format errors. I get half way through first bar of download.

I tried two different midi interfaces. Any other ideas?

I used midiox and sonar.

Is this thing trashed?

particle verb?

support@line6.com — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 15:47:03 GMT

yeah its modulated in some way...but what is the secret behind the reverb, what exactly is going on?

M9 firmware update

support@line6.com — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 00:00:54 GMT

I'm trying to update the firmware on my M9. I get midway through and then there is a crash with an unspecified midi error. This has rendered my M9 unusable which is utterly abysmal. Please send information on how to correct this issue ASAP.

Regards.
