pianoguyy Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 They work but pay attention, because this is where it gets interesting - The 4 units 500 /500X / Pro / Pro X They all work with no modifications necessary (because they are all "the same" unit) But there are 3 issues with this: 1. Thanks to supply issues from the manufactures, the X units have more DSP. Depending on how one designs their patches, non-X units may not work with X patches. It's an easy fix. Open EDIT in offline mode and remove an effect. But make sure you close EDIT before plugging in the unit. BAD THINGS happen to those who don't close EDIT before plugging in their device! 2. The rack units and the floor units have a different interface (inputs/outputs/footswitches/etc). So, while the patch may be the same, there may be some minor editing that needs done to make it completely function the way it was originally intended. and 3. this is the biggie -- Each EDIT program is designed to look for certain file extensions. Therefore, you will not find your 500 files with the 500x EDIT program if using the file-open menu. HOWEVER, if you use the drag-n-drop method instead of the file-open menu, they will install flawlessly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
