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.

Hi,

How many USB ports are there on your host computer? I hope you tried your Midisport UNO on all the available direct USB ports.

Each USB port is actually it's own pathway on the bus. The first time you connect a USB device to a port that hasn't seen it since the last USB driver install on an XP computer will yield a "New Device Found" wizard from XP. Please go through this wizard the first time a new port is attempted. I've seen users cancel out of it, thinking that they'd done it... which they have, but only on a different port.

Let us know if a different USB port connection solved your issue.

Regards,

L6Perry

Hi Perry,

Sorry for the late reply. I've been out of town.

I have 4 USB ports on my laptop. I've tried 2 and in each case I've gone through what I believe is the full install procedure. I'm prompted twice to search for drivers. Since I'm not at home with my gear I can't describe exactly which windows come up. But I've never cancelled out of the procedure.

Any other thoughts on things to check?

Hello,

Please try all four USB ports to see if the other two ports have better luck. Please see the following links for more info and trouble shooting:

If you continue to have problems, try installing the software and the drivers on another computer.

Please let us know if you need further assistance, or close out the ticket as “answered” if your situation has been resolved.

Hi Andy,

I tried everything again and this time I found a USB port that did work. Woot! Thanks for your advice.
