ACID Music Studio 11 and Line6 POD Farm VST problems

Hi All,

I have a problem with ACID Music Studio with my Line6 Toneport UX2.

I'd like to use Pod Farm or Gearbox as a VST.

I scanned the appropriate folder int the Acid to see the VST-s in it. So I can find the Pod Farm and Gearbox VSTs in the Acid and can use it in the effect section. I'd like to record a dry signal, and use the plugin as an effect.

Like this:

 

When I select the Gearbox or the Pod Farm, I cannot use it. The Pod Farm says, connect an authorized device (however it's connected). Gearbox says, run Line6 monkey, and activate. Of course, my UX2 is activated, all devices and computer is authorised in Line6 License manager.

My OS and Line6 softwares are legal, and the also the ACID is legally purchased... :)

 

If I choose Pod Farm guitar amps, and Pod farm distortions as an effect, I can hear the sound changes, but the interface doesn't appear and I could not configured sounds, amp models etc.

 

So the plugin works, but maybe the software didn't "see" the hardware through the Acid. However it works (processing) when I use separate effects in an effect chain...

 

Anybody has experienced the same?

Any suggestions?

I don't know does the UX2's causes the problem or an inappropriate ACID setting make it wrong.

 

thanks for response. ;)

 

Best regards.

 

András

Here are some screenshots.

Gearbox is asking for activating.

Pod Farm plugin does not see the hardware.

Pod Farm Guitar amps plugin works, but cannot be configured :(

I have figured out the problem related to the last screenshot.

I have tried to reinstall drivers, Pod farm 1, Monkey and Gearbox. I didn't have Pod Farm 2 installed, so finally I have tried it.

The Pod Farm guitar amps, distortions, reverbs you can see on the last screenshot belongs to PodFarm 2. When it was installed, the plugin was viewed correctly in ACID effect section (last screenshot).

 

On the other hand, Pod Farm 2 is running in trial mode, so I have limited number off effects, amp models etc... :(

However I can use it now.

 

So I still seeking the way to use PodFarm 1 and Gearbox as VST... Line 6 Monkey app doesn't see them...

I have downloaded an older version of Monkey. It sees Gearbox, there are everything green in the Monkey, but in ACID it's still silent. And it says, Activate it via Line6 Monkey...

 

I would buy Pod Farm 2.5 but I am satisfied with PodFarm 1 and Gearbox, but they don't want to work as VST :(

Are anybody out there who could make them work in ACID?

Finally I have bought Pod Farm 2.5

It works as VST plugin, and I can use it in Acid Pro 11 without any problem. May the problem was that the Pod farm 2 was a trial/limited version. Pod farm 1 and Gearbox were an older technology, and a free software. May it was not able to work as VST effect...

So it is solved.
