Windows 7 (32 & 64 bit) situation?

I'm a little bit confused with the Windows 7 situation. The newly released official Windows 7 drivers (4.0.2.3) do not seem to work properly and loads of people went back to the beta drivers (3.4.4.0) which seem to work pretty well. Nevertheless, Gearbox for Windows 7 was released yesterday and it comprises the official, broken 4.0.2.3 drivers, what the heck? And what are we Pod Farm users supposed to do in the meantime? Is there going to be a Pod Farm release for Windows 7 soon? And which are actually the drivers recommended by Line 6 now, is it the broken official 4.0.2.3 ones, or rather the beta 3.4.4.0 ones? This is getting more and more confusing and I don't know what to install on my new Windows 7 64 bit machine, can somebody enlighten me please?

 

Edit says: My Line 6 device is a Toneport KB37 audio/midi controller, so I definitely need the midi functionality which is what is apparently broken in drivers 4.0.2.3.

    jcortesrosa,

       

      Sorry for the confusion, but we have become aware of the MIDI problem the KB37 has with the current latest 4.0.2.3 driver release.  A bug has been logged and will be fixed for the next driver release.

       

      In the meantime, for KB37 MIDI functionality, install the 3.4.4.0 beta driver last after all other software is installed.

       

      POD Farm can be downloaded for Windows 7 if you select Vista as the OS from the software drop down menu.  Make sure to install the beta driver after installing POD Farm.

       

      Regards,
