rumrill1 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I use a Variax 300. I was always able to connect it to Workbench through POD HD500. However,since upgrading to HD500x and its accompanying editor, HD500x Edit, I can no longer access Workbench. I don't know if this is an issue with the new firmware or with HD500x or the editor. The V300 is recognized by Line 6 Monkey but WB doesn't see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palico Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I use a Variax 300. I was always able to connect it to Workbench through POD HD500.

The V300 is recognized by Line 6 Monkey but WB doesn't see it. The HD500x doesn't support the older Variaxs for pass thought to Workbench. You will have to either get a USB connector for Variax or get an older device. The X3, and HD500 support the connection. All other function with the older Variax does work.

rumrill1 Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 Thanks. I guess that answers my question. One more: if I get the USB interface, will I be able to get my V300 into Workbench for sure (as far as you know)? They're $100 and I don't want to gamble.

geeker Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I can check this out later when I get home. I have the cable + USB interface. I have the same issue....... give me a few hours..... or I hope someone else can answer this..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_Watt Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I would see if you can find a deal on a used X3Live instead of buying the USB interface. The X3Live will work fine with your V300 and the old Workbench AND it's a great pod to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geeker Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 moot point on my end..... Line 6 does not have Workbench that works on my MacBook pro running Yosemite (10.10.2)...... the latest version says my computer does not have the required OS for it to install....

rumrill1 Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Thanks. I'm now looking for a used X3. I had an X3 Live before the HD500 and used it to access Workbench. Does anyone know if it's possible to make that same connection (V300 to PC) with the plain "bean" X3 (not X3 Live)? AND: what about XT? I had one of those too but I forget: does it have Variax in & USB out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_Watt Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I do not think the X3 has a variax interface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
