Please note that it happens both at my home PC and office one..... Thanks Rino PS. I can write here because I have received a mail Notification of new message with link and in this case it works....

Thanks!!!!!!!!!

What is the MIDI message I must send to HD500x from ES-8 to make HD500 going to a specific patch (pressing an es-8 button) In other words.... I have all the external stomp boxes chain and the ES-8 connected to the HD external FX send and return. I have also a specific patch where I have the Ex FX module and an amp modelling. I want to press a bank button on ES-8 to make the HD500x to switch to this patch.. Hope it's clear enough!! Rino

The balanced XLR Output on HD500 (x) IS NOT mono ... only the unbalanced (Jack) out could be mono if you choose the L (if memory helps!!) out

Just for let you know what is my solution. Thanks to all of you for the suggestions... I've tested different solutions but the one that give the best result <FOR NOW (!!!)> is to connect the HD500 as a stomp box in Loop 7 that is a mono In/stereo Out of the ES8 The chain is: Guitar -> ES8 IN -> Stomp in Loop 1...6 -> Loop 7 =HD500 Guitar IN-> ES8 Send / HD500 Stereo OUT-> ES8 Stereo Return= -> Loop 8 (stereo)Delay 2290 -> ES stereo Out -> PA In this way I can use the HD500 as a stand alone unit and also as a stomp box with amp & speaker simulator..........I must test all the situation for this connection but it SEEMS to be OK.... Hope it can help other people and if you have suggestion ... they are welcomed... Rino

thanks again.... probably I'm not so <deep> in the 500x use but... I don't understand. The only solution I see (maybe I'm blind!!) is to connect the SEND and RETURN port of the 500 to the IN and OUT of the ES8... Sorry.... can you explain better to a poor beginner? Rino

pianoguyy and jvrock84 Thanks for your support and for your suggestions BUT I can't use the 4CM!! I don't use and I don't have an external Amplifier (except for a small, old Fender VibroChamp), I go directly to the mixer and than to the powered box...... Well I'll tray.. Thanks Rino

mmmmmm.... maybe the solution is not to connect the HD500x to the ES8 ... BUT ... to connect the ES8 to the HD500x .... mmmmm

Hard question!! I have the HD500X and many external effects. Until now I have used a switch to send the guitar to the pedals or to the HD500X. Yesterday I received a Boss ES8 that allows me to change the order of the pedal in the chain and to experiment different sound, I would like to put the 500X in this chain The plan is to use it as normal HD500x alone and also as an effect system (compressor and/or EQ, etc.).with the external pedals What is the best way to connect the HD500X to the ES8? Using a loop of the ES8 to the 500X IN and OUT port or to the SEND and RETURN. Hope the question is clear enaught Thanks Rino

@Jvrock ... this is another question .... I play at home, no band or other... so till now I've connected the balanced output of the 500x to the mixer and than to the studio monitor. So to answer to your question is .... WITHOUT 4 cable method. I have also connected the unbalanced mono output to a Fender Vibro Champ just to test...... So I'm just experiment different configuration, but now that I have finished the effects looper I want to use the old pedal......

well ..... I have another question related to HD500x and external pedal, I need your help/suggestion.... In my guitar story I have collected 5-6 pedal, quite vintage, like TC XII Fhaser, Boss DD-2 Delay, CE-2 Chorus (Clone), BK Tube-Driver, Fuzz, Flanger, TC Nova Delay..... well .. Now I build a Effects looper using a PIC MCU with 8 send-return loops all in mono. The question is: HOW to connect the HD500x to the Looper?? in other words, Using main IN and OUT or the FX send -return?.... what I want to do is to use some internal effects emulation (like compressor or equalizer) and external ones.... Hope it's clear.....!!!! Any Help??!!! Rino

this is not an answer but a question for you ... what kind /model of EMG pickup do you use? I have a 5 string banjo too and I need to buy a pickup.... price?

Well... if you have hundred of patches and you sell you old device for the new one, it start to make sense!!!!... The final goal isn't to play the 500 or 500x patches on Helix but to import the value and the type of the effects from one device to another. After that I agree, you must work on it
