did you try toreplace the tunings.dat file that is in the message of DKEMusic above? This fixed it for me..

Re: KB37 - midi mappings does not work

hi Rafail,

the reason your device is not working is because these two files might be missing:

line6audio.kext should be located : Disk/system/library/extensions

and line6midi.plugin should be located : Disk/library/audio/midi drivers

Make sure that you install version 1.70 and that those two files are present in the folders.

If not copy them manual to the folders.

I've attached them in case you didn't have them in a backup.

good luck!

cheers, Arjan

here's the fix

I had the same issue.

When you uninstall the driver and reinstall it skips 2 files and you need to upgrade.

This is what I did and it's working again:

- run driver uninstall

- download driver 5.7.0

- install, but after you have slect the desitnation, click customize

- upgrade line 6 preference pane, uninstaller and framework

from time machine I restored the following two files:

- line6audio.kext should be located : Disk/system/library/extensions

- line6midi.plugin should be located : Disk/library/audio/midi driver

hope this helps.

cheers,Arjan

Hi amx05462,

yes you can create your own presets, but it comes default with 25 factory presets, what's so difficult to understand about that?

I mean it's not a big deal, but it's annoying to me.Now I have to create my own tuning presets..

cheers,Arjan

I've just updated my own threat see http://line6.com/community/message/291943#291943

For the original poster, there is a link to a manual that has the preset tunings documented, so at least you can use that as a reference.

Hi guys,

Thanks for your replies. It is not that I do not believe you, as I can confirm it’s no longer there in the 1.58 or 1.70 versions.

All I’m saying it used to be there, I'm not referring to user presets.

I can confirm there were default factory presets with workbench on 1.51. Unfortunately I no longer have that system anymore that had that version installed.

I tested it today on a XP PC but ran into issues with Java runtime and didn’t want to mess up my Java environment as I use it for more applications.

The latest version 1.70 does not have these default tuning presets anymore, this is both on Mac snow leopard or Windows 7.

Also I tested 1.58 on a Mac and they are missing from that version as well.Older version do not support my OS.

FYI, I'm an IT professional and a long time Line6 user starting the Flextone II in 2000 having or still have multiples Line6 devices.

I have my variax since 2003 but the last 2 years not used it for different reasons ( sold my podxtlive, rebuild home studio etc.)

Line6 seem to have "forgotten" to include the factory default presets in the recent versions.

Quotes from Vettalville.nl about this subject:

“Presets – Click to load alternate tunings from a presaved list. There are 25 predefined alternate tunings to choose from. You can also save your own tunings and access them here for use at anytime.”

And another one:

“Remember what the PRESETS button provides? That’s right, a presaved list of 25 alternate tunings ready to load up and use. To get to them, just click on the PRESETS button and simply select the tuning you wish to load. Note that you can also Save and Delete your alternate tunings.” This dialog is shown in the attachment below.

Here is a link from Vettaville.nl that have all the default factory tunings listed:

http://www.vettaville.net/WB%20Tutorial%207%20290107.pdf

This is not a big deal, I can create the ones I want to use myself, but it was nice to have to experiment with.

I have to wait till someone from Line 6 replies as this is something they need to add again in a future update.

Thanks again.

cheers, Arjan
