I'm happy to say that I got the driver for X3 and Gearbox installed and both see the device. Gearbox pulled in all the sounds stored on the device. But there is a problem with the VSTs.
Gearbox installed the VSTs (Gearbox Mono Stereo.dll, Gearbox Mono.dll, Gearbox Stereo.dll) and I have added the install path to Reaper. Reaper sees them, but it seems to want to register with Line Money, but that process fails, telling me to make sure I' have an internet connection, which of course I do.
I have tried registering the POD X3 online, but it throws an error:
There was an error processing your submission.
(Error: Password reset link has expired. Please make a new request to reset your password and try again from the new link emailed to you. ( Error: 297)
)
I do not know the exact date it was purchased, and gave it an approximate date.
But it's possible if not likely that I've previously registered the device with Line 6. But the account I previously used shows no registered products.
I realize the product no longer supported so there are no real benefits to registering. But if that is why I can't access the VST, I'd like to figure it out.
Any ideas? Would really like to be able to use the VST. The standalone Gearbox appears to be working.
