BigChas52 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 You must do the upgrade from inside of Line 6 Monkey. Make sure that you have something plugged into the 1/4" jack in order to power the Variax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thoz Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I get the samething with my 59P. Everything updated, correct connections made, Monkey sees the Variax but Workbrnch HD can't seem to connect. If anyone has any solutions, please post, I want my Workbench HD.

TheRealZap Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 YOU HAVE TO USE THE INTERFACE THAT CAME WITH YOUR GUITAR, NOT THE POD. (intentional CAPS... i think many people are missing this important detail.) I get the samething with my 59P. Everything updated, correct connections made, Monkey sees the Variax but Workbrnch HD can't seem to connect. If anyone has any solutions, please post, I want my Workbench HD.

thoz Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 RealZap, I appreciate the help I have seen you offer others on the forum. However, I have no idea where you got the idea that I used my HD500. I used the interface USB/Midi box that I got with myu Variax, I tried 3 different data cables, I rebooted the PC, I reflashed the guitar, you name it I tried it. NO MATTER WHAT I DO, WORKBANCH HD DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THE VARIAX IS ATTACHED. WHILE MONKEY HAS NO ISSUE SEEING IT USING THE SAME EXACT INTERFACE (intentional caps :-) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 cool... you never know... sometimes its a simple detail that gets missed. i would make sure you have 1/4" plugged into the guitar... and also i use a regular ethernet cable. the variax cable that shipped with my interface never worked right!

Violavide Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Acknowledged yes, use a sound card with Scarlett 2I4 USB monitors everything running properly. The Variax in workbanch HD is connected, but the tuner does not indicate if there was no signal and audio monitoring. very strange Cesar Rio - Brazil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
