mcbeddall Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Yep me too, not sure if it's possible but at the moment setting up guitars in workbench and listening at the same time is a nuisance to set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyjdams Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Yes!! Totally baffled why Firehawk doesn't connect to workbench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garry9133 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I'm a little confused here. What would be the advantage of Firehawk connecting to Workbench? Perhaps it depends which model Variax you have? I'm no expert, but here's my take on this... Unless I'm missing something, Workbench is basically a custom model editor for the Variax, while Firehawk is an effects unit which also has the capability to interact with the Variax. Surely, if you are making tweaks to your Variax custom models on Workbench and you want to hear what they will sound like through the Firehawk, you should just plug the Variax into Firehawk via a 1/4" cable and listen on headphones while you make your edits in Workbench. My Variax Standard connects to Workbench via the Cat 5 cable, so it is easy to run both connections at once. Obviously, you won't be able to use the Firehawk to recall guitar models from the Variax at this point, but you wouldn't be wanting to do that until your new custom models are saved to the guitar anyway. That's my understanding, but like I say...I'm no expert! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbeddall Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Well first off there's the fact that the vdi cable sounds different to a regular guitar cable , so if the firehawk would connect to workbench I could set up models while playing through my normal rig Also it would mean you can leave out the interface part so it's less stuff to set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theruork Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I guess I'm thick or something. The Firehawk FX backplane has the CAT 5 connection from my Tyler Variax AND a USB connection to my PC. Why, then, does my Workbench (and Line 6 Monkey) not find my Variax??? I mean, apart from providing power to the synth (which really is a good thing), what is the point?
