I have a Pod X3 Live connected to my computer with the USB lead supplied. I have a variax guitar connected to the X3 Live using the appropriate Line 6 cable. I have been trying to reinstall the latest flash memory (3.10) into the guitar with the Line 6 Monkey (v1.33) but every time I try after getting part way through the process I get an error message saying
" Variax 300/600 update failed.
(Code 8000900C) MIDI device timed out waiting for a response.
Try the update again, making sure the cables are still connected. ".
Once this has happened the computer no longer recognises the Variax unless I switch off the X3 Live and switch it on again, then it finds it again and I start the process all over again until I get the same error message. Is there a setting on the Pod X3 Live that I need to change as it appears to me that this is where the problem is as it stops the recognition part way through the process.
There's only one X3 setting that I can think of that might help. Check your Inputs page. Make sure the Variax setting on the far right of the top row is Enable Global Control. I'm not confident that this is the problem but it might be.
Stay in the mix and in the know.
