davdeel Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I know i might be out of date on this - i haven't used the pod since i bought bias 2 software to work in the box. Now i need to get it running but, despite all updates to monkey etc. etc. it still won't talk via midi. The pod hd isn't even on the Line 6 list that i'm trying to connect to via midi. Running out of ideas and seriously p***ed off with Line 6. It took me 2 hours to re-register a username and password. It's easier to hack the CIA than re-register but it's only an fx unit for god's sake. Anyway, despite my rant can anyone help........pretty please. PS I'm 60 - anyone take pity on an old boy?

Neither the HD500 nor HD500X does MIDI over USB; you will need another box or dongle for that.

davdeel Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 Hi - i had all this running fine on the same gear last year ( i think). It is- From audio i/o - usb out to mac. From audio i/o - midi out to MOTU midi express. From Motu - midi out to Pod and back to Motu. Lastly, as the audio i/o is already linked to mac via usb this should complete the chain. Are you saying that usb and midi are incompatible? The audio i/o unit has usb and midi ports on it. I can't believe they break the chain. I've seen many other comments from ppl with same issue as me. Neither POD Edit nor Monkey recognise the pod. Re-downloading the drivers doesn't work either. Every time i open Monkey it shows the drivers are not installed. I've done a complete re-install of all Line 6 components today - same result. Any comments please... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoupeChris Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Did you get any answers on this? I'm in exactly the same situation and not getting any luck with MIDI or USB connection with any of my Line^ gear - this has to be a driver issue. All seemed to work great up until I did one upgrade via Monkey - now nothing works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
