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).

Thank you Codamedia,

But how to save a custom setting to one of the CUSTOM slots on the Variax,(I'm new on this guitar)....

 

1: You need a legacy (original) copy of Line 6 Workbench on a computer. 

2: You need a Variax Digital Interface cable (a regular 1/4" cable cannot do it)

3: You need a legacy device to connect the GUITAR to the COMPUTER. 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...
