Hi there
Neither my Line 6 FBV Control software or my Spider Valve MkII Edit software is recognizing my FBV Shortboard MkII.
It's definitely worked perfectly in the past (on the same PC), both with FBV Control and with the Spider Valve MkII Edit software. I've also used the Shortboard on many occasions to control POD Farm 2.
As per the manual, I ensure that the Shortboard is connected and working and then run either FBV Control or Spider Valve Edit. In either case, the software displays the message "No Line 6 Device Connected".
I've tried 3 different USB cables (which all work with my printer) in four different USB ports (not hubs) on my PC, and still the software reports no device connected. I know my computer is 'seeing' the Shortboard, because when I connected it to an USB port I've never used with it before, it installs the generic drivers and reports that the "Device is working" and is "Ready to use".
Incidentally, Line 6 Monkey doesn't recognize my FBV either, just my Toneport UX2.
Are there any steps I need to take to get my Shortboard working with FBV Control, Spider Valve Edit and POD Farm 2 again?
Many thanks in advance of any help and advice.
Steve
Here are a couple of screenshots of what I'm seeing if that helps at all:
Hi Mike, and sorry for the late reply. I followed your advice and turned off all the anti-virus stuff but still no joy. Incidentally, I dug out my old Vista 32bit PC and installed Spider Valve Edit and FBV Control and my Shortboard is working perfectly with both. I can even get Line 6 Monkey to recognize it when it's attached to that machine. At least for the time being I can use my older computer to create and transfer patches to my Spider Valve 112 MkII amp, which is the most important function I've been missing. Thanks again for your time and advice :)
