I have finally been able to get my Pod2.0 to hook up to my computer via Midi !
It has taken at least 2 weeks, and 2 sets of Midi cables.
Here, for those experiencing the same problem is a play by play account.
The fix, is more of a punch in than a solution.
I first bought a cheap set of midi cable....no connection, line6 edit didn't even see the Pod.
I bought the M-audio cables, and was optomistic , because the pod was recognized by L6E.
I still couldn' make it work, the pod kept showing as busy.
I tried installing on mac....no dice
Windows 7....nada
Windows 8...zip.
I finally tried setting my performance settings to minimum (windows XP) , I' m not sure if this had any effect because I tried another thing at the same time.
Here's the punch line......
I turned the MIDI button OFF, and it worked.
So, I took the time to check the manual, to see how stupid I was, but the manual says the Midi button should be pressed and the channel set.
I hope this helps someone,
I've been pulling my hair out, and I don't have much to spare.
