groovemaneuver Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Greetings, While working on some new patches on my POD HD Pro this weekend, I became very frustrated and my productivity was derailed by a consistent bugginess in the editor that would result in the patch sounding as-intended while I was connected to the editor, but after sending my patch for storage on the POD and shutting down the editor, the patch was corrupted and sounded totally different. All of the selected effects, amp model, their respective settings were correct on the POD's on-device display, but manipulating the patches on the POD or with the FloorBoard resulted in the patches not behaving as expected (e.g., the wah-wah effect was clearly in the chain and clearly switched on, but the pedal had no effect at all on the sound, even though in the control mappings, moving the pedal was clearly changing the position values). I ended up rebooting the POD, and the effects started working more predictably, but the amp sound was very very wrong. Attempting to fix things with the editor just resulted in the same buggy behavior all over again. I am using the most up-to-date HD Edit software and my POD Pro HD has the latest firmware, as verified by Line 6 Monkey. Is there any specific things I can do to help troubleshoot this issue or provide you with diagnostics? Cheers, Chris Stark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I have moved this thread to the POD HD forum from the Vyzex Editor forum. As you mention, you are using the Pod HD Editor, not Vyzex. Your question will get more visibility here. Note that each Pod HD product has its own editor. You mention that you are using HD Edit. You should be using HD Pro Edit. Perhaps you are, and you just made a typo. But worth checking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groovemaneuver Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Apologies! For some reason I had merged the two editors into one in my mind. You are absolutely right that it is the POD HD Pro Edit software. Typo and brainfart. Thanks for catching that! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay-man Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Make sure your USB port is ok. Try different USB cables and USB ports on the computer. Try resetting your patches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 A common cause of symptoms like this is a loss of synchronicity between the device and the Edit program. They each maintain their own buffers for the 'active' preset and these buffers can get out of sync when you make changes using both the editor and the device itself while the Edit program is running. To minimize the chance of this, avoid touching any knobs or settings on the HD device while the Edit program is running. Make ALL changes using only the editor. Then make sure you use the editor's SEND command to save/store the changes on the device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groovemaneuver Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 I most certainly appreciate the tips. I have checked the USB cable with a few other devices -- seems fine. While I don't have an abundance of USB ports on the Mac Pro, I did swap ports on the computer. No real difference, but I think that's a good thing. Tonight when I get back to my studio, I'll try to edit the patches without touching *ANYTHING*, although I have to admit that not being able to crank on the pedal to test wah-wah sounds is going to make the process of editing patches a lot more time consuming and frustrating. I suppose one must do what one must do. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I think you should be able to move the pedal on the HD device while Edit is running, but avoid using the toe switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay-man Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I've found backing up your setlist and reflashing usually helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
