srcsrc Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Hi. I just received my new Variax JTV 69 and when I connect it to the Helix, I only get the magnetic pickups. Is it necessary for the battery to be charged and installed in the Variax? Can it be a malfunction? I will continue to do tests, but I think it is not normal. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 You need the battery if you are using the 1/4" TRS connection to plug into the Helix. You don't need the battery if you use the VDI connection with the VDI cable. The Model encoder has an internal switch, you push down on to engage the Models. Some people forget that, and they think that it simply plug in and turns on, on its own. Also, check to be certain that the Helix is not controlling the JTV-69. Check the Edit Page Variax settings for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it works without a battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
