Line 6 Monkey does not recognize my Helix and JTV59

[a3d3]

I installed the newest version of Monkey but just like the older version, it does not recognize my hardware.  When I launch Monkey it says "no device detected" although my Helix is connected via USB to my computer.  It provided a drop down menu and asks which equipment would you like to configure.  But the only option is PodXTLive which i haven't used in years.  Also.... Helix Edit works pefectly.

 

I am trying to get Workbench installed and running so I can edit my JTV-59.  I have some custom tunings that i would like to import from my older Variax 500.

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,

 

First up - Line 6 Monkey is not designed to work with Helix. You communicate with Helix via USB using the latest version of HX Edit. This is the Preset edit and management system for the device.

 

I also have JTV59 and that requires Variax Workbench HD 2.15 for editing. I also have a Variax 600, but I can't recall the last time that was plugged in to edit anything.

Hope this helps/makes sense.

Makes perfect sense, DataC.  Thank you for this very helpful info.  My mistake was having downloaded and installed workbench v1.75.  I have fixed that and now all is good.  Thanks again for your help!
