ehackster Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Hey guys, I have a JTV variax but I have no USB interface to change it's parameters, and I have no other interface (POD, helix, etc.). The interface by iytself is 150$ here, which is absurd. Would this cable make the Workbench HD see my JTV and allow me to update firmware/upload patches and change params? https://bencraven.com/?p=1616 Thanks!

psarkissian Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 No it won't. Need the proper interface device and cable kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehackster Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 So how come that web page says that the cable works and that the Line 6 Monkey and Variax Workbench recognize the Variax? (just by using this cable) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psarkissian Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 " So how come that web page says that the cable works and that the Line 6 Monkey and Variax Workbench recognize the Variax? "--- 1) He is talking about old Variax, going to MIDI, and MIDI boxes are active devices. He doesn't just use a cable. 2) The correct interface set up for JTV is an active device, which is required to get it to work. There are no short cuts in this.

Who mentioned just using the cable without a MIDI device? Clearly this cable is intended to use both MIDI IN and MIDI OUT device on an audio interface. So does that make that an "active" device?
