hytrez67 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Hello, I can't change the tuning of my Variax with my Helix floor.... Is there an update to be made? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codamedia Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 The VARIAX 700 does not have the same capabilities as the JTV, the STANDARD (Yamaha), or the SHURIKEN in regards to tuning on the fly. The Helix shows the option, but it won't do anything. The only thing you can do is save a custom tuning to one of the CUSTOM on slots on the Variax, then call that preset when you need it. Every 1st GEN Variax is like that (500, 300, 600 & 700). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 700 cannot connect to the computer through a Helix. You will need a "variax USB interface" that is difficult to find, or a legacy device such as an XT Live, X3 Live, X3 Pro, HD500 or HD Pro. IMO... an XT Live or X3 Live can be purchased for pretty cheap these days. FYI: There is some info on the LEGACY Variax forums... https://line6.com/support/forum/38-variax-guitars-bass-workbench/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerS Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Just like Codamedia says and add a link to a thread that Master himself has written and I have used so many times :-) - The interface and cables you need looks like these - //Per Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
