the29band Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Is it possible to update the JTV firmware without the interface i.e. using HD500 or do I need the interface? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CipherHost Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I no longer have an HD500X, but I used to use it for my JTV-89F. Is it not working for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashcraaft Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 JTVs work with the 500x, former Variax models just with the non-X version of the POD HD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb7170 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 You can do jtv fw updates with the 500 and 500X. I have both of them and have done it. The helix just recently got the ability to use HD WB, but as far as I know, cannot do jtv fw updates. Don't know why. Use line 6 monkey to do it.

manix1979 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Right! With Helix (2.21) you can use Workbench. Monkey sees the Variax but can not update the firmware. I guess it‘s a USB MIDI problem on the Helix. Maybe some wrong MIDI adresses‽ Hopefully Line6 makes it possible to open Helix firmware for future Variax firmware updates. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Just to clarify,... Helix v2.21 Firmware is not the same JTV v2.21 Firmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manix1979 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 It‘s diffrent yes. Maybe I wrote wrong. Simply Helix can not update the Variax. Monkey sees the Variax connected to PC via Helix ;-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
