Got it, unfortunately the SL-20 only has a MIDI In so seems like I'm out of luck, but thanks for the help!

From the manual it just says this: "The following MIDI messages are handled during synchronization with the SL-20. • Timing Clock • Start • Continue Timing Clock corresponding to the tempo is transmitted from the master device (external MIDI device). The slave device (SL-20) synchronizes its performance to the transmitted Timing Clock. Start and Continue MIDI messages are also transmitted when these operations are carried out with the master device (external MIDI device).Upon receiving the Start message from the external MIDI device, the SL-20 starts its slice pattern from the top. Upon receiving the Continue message, the SL-20 continues to playback from the current position in sync with the external MIDI device." So from what I'm getting from your response is that the POD HD500's MIDI sends are more things like specific notes, right? That's too bad, but I guess I can always hook up the SL-20 to my DAW and copy the tempo to the POD HD from there.

Hi, I'm trying to use the MIDI Out on the POD HD500 to send tempo to a Boss SL-20's MIDI In (it can only receive tempo clock info apparently) to sync them up. However, hooking the POD's MIDI Out to the SL-20's MIDI In doesn't seem to sync up the tempo at all, even after changing the MIDI settings on the POD itself. Is the POD HD500 able to send tempo over MIDI or only receive? I don't really have much experience with MIDI so any help is appreciated.

Nevermind, spoke too soon. Literally right after I posted that and went back to Reaper the audio cut out again. Any ideas? Edit: Turning off my wi-fi actually seems to be helping so far, I'll report back if the error happens again. Edit 2: Turning wi-fi has NOT resolved the problem. Not sure what else to do.

I think I may have fixed this issue, thanks to Line 6's troubleshooting guide on USB Audio Troubleshooting (http://line6.com/support/docs/DOC-4282). I updated my drivers again using the program Line 6 recommended and increased the buffer in the Line 6 Audio and MIDI Devices tool in the control panel. So far I've been recording without fault longer than I have before.

Nope, no other USB devices, just the POD HD. And I guess I can try looking for options like that, but what would I be looking for? I don't even know what the problem is.

I'm just keeping the POD on a flat surface, not touching it at all. And I tried a different cable, same results- works for a bit in Reaper then stops being read by the computer. One thing I did find out is that when looking for that option you were talking about, I noticed that in device manager under the USB Controllers section there is a "Generic USB Hub," a bunch of "Intel ICH9 Family USB Universal Host Controller" items, a "USB Composite Device," and a bunch of "USB Root Hub" items. Does this mean that my laptop uses a USB hub for my USB ports and is the root of my issues? In any case it looks like I'll be saving up for a recording interface, this issue is just too much of a pain to deal with.

Okay, so after some trial and error (and rebooting the computer a ton), I've had this issue with all of 3 of my USB ports on seperate boots. Is my computer overheating or something?

I'll try to do that, I'm never consitent with which USB port I plug into so I'll try to figure out if there's a faulty one. I'm using a laptop (Dell Inspiron 1440) so I'm not using a USB hub. I'm already using ASIO configured for the HD500 and I don't run HD500 Edit while running Reaper, I just ran it after closing Reaper to make sure the problem wasn't in Reaper itself.

So I've had my POD HD500 for a while now and love the tones I'm getting, but I'm having an issue recording in Reaper via the USB cable. I'll be able to record for a bit (the amount varies, usually 30-45 seconds worth), but then my computer will stop recognizing the POD HD properly and won't register the POD HD as outputting sound. Restarting Reaper, restarting the POD HD500, and trying different cables all don't fix the issue and if I try using POD HD500 Edit it comes up with the error message: "There was an issue transferring one or more patches. If this error keeps occurring, quit POD HD500 edit[...etc.] (Code 8000000a) Operation timed out." The only thing that fixes the issue is restarting my computer, but eventually the same problem happens as before. I've tried updating my drivers and BIOS to no avail. I've even gotten the blue screen of death happen a few times hours after trying to record (one time it actually happened as soon as I plugged in my POD HD500 to my computer), but that might be an unrelated issue. I can post those blue screen error logs if that will help. Thanks for any help you guys can provide!
