Problem with FBV Shortboard (Mk 1, Original Vetta Amp)

support@line6.com — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 03:43:19 GMT

Hi: I went to use the tone library to update some new user sounds (first time I did this, connecting the Vetta through Midi to my computer) and, after downloading a couple of new sounds successfully, my FBV Shortboard now only reads "Line 6" when I power it up. All the lights blink, and then it reads "Line 6" but none of the foot switches work on the FBV Shortboard. Did I make a mistake using the Line 6 monkey somehow? Nothing else changed in my setup, the only difference was the download of new patches, so perhaps that's a clue. I tried recalibrating my FBV Shortboard but that made no difference...I also tried to replace the connecting cable between the amp and the FBV but that didn't help. Any ideas are much appreciated, thanks in advance!!

Midi timeouts connecting to Vetta 2 with Line 6 Edit

Hi there,

I have the latest firmware (2.5) for the Vetta, latest version of Line 6 Edit (3.02), Java Runtime 1.5 installed and I'm connecting to my Vetta 2 combo with a M-audio midisport uno. When starting up Line 6 Edit the Vetta is recognized but about 25 seconds into the connection process (where the Line 6 Edit is downloading data) I get a midi timeout window stating that Line 6 Edit couldn't connect to the Vetta. The message suggests checking midi connections and cycling power on the amp. That doesn't work of course.

I've tried rolling back to firmware 2.11, removing and reinstalling Java, updating drivers for my Midisport Uno all to no avail. The same problem exists.

Line 6 Monkey sees the Vetta just fine. Is there something I'm missing? I'm also using Windows XP SP3.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
