Re: Flextone II Eprom Upgrade

support@line6.com — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 15:28:06 GMT

We ran out of Flextone II 2.4 EPROM chips a couple of years ago and have not manufactured any more since then, as these amps are no longer being made.

I think your best bet would be to check on eBay or perhaps a Flextone II owner here might have a spare that they're willing to sell you?

Re: Toneport di gold manual?

support@line6.com — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 23:42:17 GMT

The manual is installed on your computer when you install either GearBox or POD Farm software.

The DI is to pass the input signal (of your guitar's pickup) unaffected to a real guitar amp, if you wish to have that sonic option. They can then put a mic on the speaker of a real tube amp and record that while you also have a tone setup in GearBox or POD Farm during the same performance on your guitar.

Re: M5 or M9 with an XT Live?

Probably after the PODxt Live... it sounds like you'll be using it more for time-based effects as opposed to any sort of gain/filters. Output the PODxt Live into the M5 or M9 and see if you like the sound of the Smart Harmony or PItch Glide effect there.

Re: Spider iv 75 and mkv2 Shortboard. Question with looper.

I think so... it only says "READY TO RECORD: PRESS TAP" in the display of the amp's LCD. The FBV Shortboard MKII's display shows the sound program number/letter and name.

Re: UX2 headphones output buggy

I know you don't want to use the Analog Outs 1/2, but for the purposes of troubleshooting a hardware issue, if you were to connect those two outputs to two different powered speakers, do you hear the guitar/drums/vocals clearly? I ask this question to establish whether it's just a hardware problem with the Phones output jack or if the Analog Outs 1/2 are also affected.

I've never known a bad Phones jack to omit guitar sounds, though. Are you sure that the guitar tracks aren't muted in your recording software? Or, are you just streaming a stereo 2-track mix in iTunes or Windows Media Player? This is important to know.

Re: Line6 Monkey 1.53 e Line6 Edit 1.03!

Need to try all the other USB ports on your host computer and the re-launch Monkey to see if it will detect available Flash Memory.

Also, inspect your HD300's own USB port. Is there anything problematic with the port itself?

Re: kb37 midi mapping problem?

support@line6.com — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 00:47:03 GMT

The KB37 can only transmit (MIDI notes, CC's, PC's, etc.) on one active MIDI Channel # at a time.

I think what you're trying to do is learn about how to create a device in your MIDI software sound device (if you have a drum machine-like sound device), where each pad/slot is loaded with a different drum sample. The key here is to learn how to assign each pad in that device to a MIDI Note # that falls into a logic that you desire.

i.e. C, C#, D, D#, E (these are 5 consecutive MIDI keys (white, black, white, black, white) from the lower-left of the KB37. You have to find out how to set the "mapping" of the drum machine device's pads to those MIDI note #'s in Fruity Loops, so that those first 5 keys on your KB37 will trigger whatever sounds you have loaded into those 5 pads in the software drum machine device.

You'll want to consult your Fruity Loops operation manual for info on how to do that.

Re: Cant find "hardware monitoring" fader in settings

support@line6.com — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 00:41:24 GMT

Hardware Monitor Level control only applies to POD HD500 devices connected via USB. HD400 and HD300's do not have that option currently, sorry.

Re: FS 5-8 mode w/ FBV

support@line6.com — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 00:37:38 GMT

In short, no. Switching between the ABCD and FS 5-8 assignment can only be done by pressing down the "VIEW" button on the HD500/Pro/Bean unit itself for longer than 3 seconds. This is a system menu setting, which cannot be assigned to a footswitch option for remote access.

Another way to word this is, the only way to enter SETUP Pages 1/10 on an HD500 is by pressing and holding the VIEW button for 3-5 seconds on the panel.

Set List Select Mode is not the same as toggling the ABCD-FX 5-8 switch assignment, no. That's to access the different Setlists (folders) of your internal patch memories.

Re: no load and partial use of POD farms

support@line6.com — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 00:30:25 GMT

I went through your account and saw that you do indeed have a POD X3 registered. However, I'm not sure if you knew this, but GearBox is the standalone software editor program that your device interfaces with... and with your particular X3 unit, POD Farm 1.12 VST/AU/RTAS Plug-In within a support DAW recording host program will work.

POD Farm 2.51 requires the purchase of a POD Farm 2 license, which isn't in your account. I suspect that you downloaded and installed POD Farm 2.51 and checked it out. The symptom you intially described in your question falls in line with this guess: you described opening up POD Farm 2.51 in "Demo Mode" with 3 guitar amp models. This occurs when the user who is running POD Farm 2.51 is doing so without the presence of a purchased POD Farm 2 license that needs to be authorized into their X3. Keep in mind that you'll have to launch POD Farm as a Plug-In Effect within a DAW!
