Hi!

I've also encountered the error on my bean you are discussing here, but I've skipped the v1.43 Version and POD HD Software. So, this was new to me. When i flashed the v2.02 a lot, like >80%, of my downloaded patched from the HD 500 contained invaild data.

While Reading this forums and the Guitar Input fix, i've checked with an older HD Edit version multiple presets that contained invaild data and a correct input. With this data i've written a small java program that changes some bytes in the patches and sets the inputs to "Guitar/Same".

So, all you have to do is to rename your downloaded patches from .h5e to .hbe and put the .jar file into the same folder as your renamed 500 patches. doubleclick the .jar and run it. After that you patches should be loadable within the newest HD Edit Software. This way, you don't need to have installed 2 versions of the HD Edit Software.

Here you can get to program (~2kb): http://www.jzab.de/files/convert.jar

I hope this does not violate any of line6 usage terms. Any suggestions are welcome. Usage at own risk.

Edit 2011-05-17: It now comes with a graphical user interface for folder selection, mass extension rename option and simple backup function.

GUI and .h5e added. Its still not polished, but weekend is comming ;).

If you find any presets that do not work, please give me a note, so i can probably adjust the application.

This is a very nice initiative, as I tought it would'nt be a big deal to integrate this kind of function into HD Edit ... Hope Line 6 software engineers will understand the message.

Anyway, it'll be cool to not have to change file extension and to have a GUI ^^

Thank you very much Johann !!!

No message, no dialogbox. I'm going do add a gui for folder selection and some messages probably. Currently it just runs silently, opens all .hbe files it finds in the current directory and changes some bytes. I honestly can't say for sure what modifications are made, the preset files are all binary.

I've opened several files in the old hd edit software, changed only the input, looked if they are loadable in the new one. Then i opened all files and made out the differences i thought that were related. Its more like try and error, and i came up with this. I've tested it with like 20 presets that wouldn't load here on the new firmware and software. After the modification they worked for me.

Hi,

Is there any dialog box, or the jar is simply running silently ? When executing jar with my Java Platform SE Binary nothing seems to happen ^^

Anyway, what kind of modifications are you performing on files to prevent the problem ?

Thanks

Warfare

After few test with H5S files (Includings yours ), seems the problem is just related to the default input in HD 500 Edit wich is 'Guitar + Aux + Variax' while HD Edit (Bean) is 'Guitar'.

I would underline that as it should be easy to correct in future HD Edit versions ...

Thank you again for your answers.

I already sent a Product Feedback to Line 6 regarding this compatibilty issue, so I done the max from my side.

The good point is that a 'real' workaround is identified (rolling back to an old version was not a solution).

But to be honest, I'm quite disapointed with this Pod HD Desktop (For a lot of reasons, not for this specific point).

Rawly sounds out of the box are not as good as I thought, especially for high gain setups.

Anyway, let's see what Line 6 will do this year for this range of products (Soldano ?, HD Edit Tuner ? ...).

Cheers
