TonePort UX1 rear panel connections
Connect any line level input source for monitoring to the Stereo Monitor In. Connect your USB cable from here to your computers USB port.* Connect the Analog Outs to your audio monitors.
Connect any line level input source that you want to record into the Line Inputs.
*Note be sure to always power off or mute your speakers or monitoring setup before connecting and disconnecting the USB cable between TonePort and your computer, as well as before booting up or shutting down your computer if TonePort is already connected. The best practice is to always power on your speakers last, and power them off first when connected to other audio gear to avoid a pop. Line Inputs - To record the signal from a line level source, such as a keyboard, your stereo receiver, the line out from a mixing console, etc., connect them to these Left and Right ins using 1/4-inch TS audio cables. Monitor In - If you want to hear the signal from a line level source along with all the other audio coming from your computer, but do not want this audio recorded, then plug the source in here. Note that this is a stereo jack, so you should use a stereo 1/4-inch TRS audio cable for this connection.

Page 4

USB - This of course is where you connect the supplied USB cable to TonePort, with the other end going to your computers USB port. Note that you should always connect to a separate USB controller channel from other USB audio or MIDI interfaces to provide TonePort with the full USB bandwidth. TonePort also gets its power from this USB connection, so it should not be plugged into a non-powered USB hub, or operated on the same USB controller channel with unpowered devices. It is also recommended to connect directly into a USB port on your computer and not into a USB hub. Analog Outs - These Left and Right unbalanced jacks output all the audio from TonePort; the audio from your audio software on the computer, and anything plugged into any TonePort input. These are what you want to connect to your powered speakers or monitoring system for a recording setup. Use 1/4-inch TS cables to connect directly to powered speakers, mixer or power amp setup. Note that you can also use the headphone jack on the front of TonePort if you want to use headphones for monitoring.

Connect your electric Guitar or Bass Connect up to two Microphones Connect your stereo Headphones
Microphone Inputs - You can receive input from one or two mics at the same time using these ins. There is also a +48V Phantom Power switch that you should toggle to on if your mic requires phantom power (most condenser type mics do, but check the documentation for your mic if you are not sure). Connect each mic using an XLR cable. This inputs each microphone signal independently into GearBox where you can choose your tone, and then route the processed signal both to your audio software and out the TonePort outputs. Guitar/Bass Inputs -To input your electric guitar or bass, plug it into one of these inputs. Either of these routes the instruments signal into GearBox where you can choose your tone and route the processed signal both to your audio software and out the TonePort outputs. Norm this input is for a standard instrument level output. Plug your guitar/bass into here using a standard 1/4-inch TS instrument cable. Pad - this input is designed for high output level basses and guitars, especially those with active pickups. Plug your high output instrument into here using a standard 1/4-inch TS instrument cable.

This Headphone jack outputs the same signal fed to the Analog Line Outs; the audio from your audio software on the computer, as well as anything plugged into the Instrument and Aux inputs. USB - This of course is where you connect the supplied USB cable to PODxt Live, with the other end going to your computers USB port. Of course your PODxt Live is capable of processing your guitar Tone all by itself, but youll need to connect the USB cable to your computer to use it with GearBox, and to use PODxt Live as your sound card device. Note that you should always connect to a separate USB controller channel from other USB audio or MIDI interfaces to provide PODxt Live with the full USB bandwidth. It is also recommended to connect directly into a USB port on your computer and not into a USB hub.

The Line 6 Audio-MIDI Devices dialog
Be sure to connect your Line 6 device to you computers USB port and then continue with the following steps. Youll first want to launch the GearBox software, where you can launch the Line 6 Audio-MIDI Devices dialog.*
Go to the GearBox Help menu and select Hardware & Driver Settings
*Note that you can also access the Line 6 Audio-MIDI Devices dialog within the Mac System Preferences.
TonePort & GuitarPort The following example shows TonePort UX1 as the selected device, with the GearBox software running. PODxt - Youll see some differences with a PODxt device selected which are noted in the following descriptions

Page 15

1 Line 6 Device selector: Allows selection of any supported Line 6 USB audio device that is connected. Note that if you have more than one supported device connected, each will be selectable in this list, regardless if it is in use by the GearBox application or not. If your device is not connected and powered on, it will not appear in this list. 2 Selected Device Icon: An icon for the selected Line 6 Device appears here. 3 Driver version: Displays the current devices installed driver version number. 4 - ESN: Displays the current devices unique Electronic Serial Number. 5 Run Audio-MIDI Setup button: On Mac systems, Core Audio sound card driver settings are configured in the OS X Audio MIDI Setup utility. This button launches this dialog for you:

Page 16

5c 5e 5d
5a System Settings: The Default Input and Default Output options allow you to choose the sound card you want your audio applications to use by default. If you want this to be your Line 6 device, select it here. The System Output option allows you to choose which sound card the Mac System Settings are played through. You may NOT want to choose this to be your Line 6 device, since it can be rather annoying to hear those dings, beeps or frogs croaking at blaring volumes in your headphones or monitors when working in your audio application! Even better, you can turn these system settings off completely in the System Preferences > Sounds dialog.
5b Properties For: Choose your Line 6 device here to allow the Audio Input and Audio Output options display its settings.

The Device Sends Description then shows the input Source, and informs you if that signal is processed or not. Since GearBox is not running, the signal is unprocessed.
GuitarPort and PODxt devices are always fixed to only route their instrument 1 /4 input signal into GearBox. When a GuitarPort or PODxt is the selected device, this Input Source Select list offers only Instrument as the source. 8 Device Sends info box: One line for each GearBox Record Send appears here along with a description for exactly what signal each Send is carrying (also see the description above for item #7).

Page 19

TonePort devices will show two Sends (Record 1-2 and Record 3-4). TonePorts Record Send 3-4 is capable of carrying either the Tone 2 signal of a Dual-Tone configuration, or the Tone 1 signal with no Post effects. See the TonePort Dual-Tone Operation section for more about this. The Description for the Sends will show you if the signals are currently being processed by GearBox or not, so you know what your recording software will be receiving. GuitarPort will show only one Record Send (Record 1-2). The Description for Send 1-2 will show you if the signal is currently being processed by GearBox or not, so you know what your recording software will be receiving. PODxt will show only one Record Send (Record 1-2). The type of signal that is routed to the Record Send 1-2 is determined by the PODxt Signal Routing option within the Audio Signal Routing dialog (accessed by the Advanced button within the Line 6 Audio-MIDI Devices dialog). Note that this Audio Signal Routing determines this signal routing regardless if GearBox is running or not for PODxt devices. (Also see the next section regarding PODxt devices and Re-Amping options) This PODxt Audio Signal Routing option defines what signal is routed to the Record Send 1-2.
The Line 6 Audio-MIDI Devices dialogs Device Sends Description reflects the type of signal that was chosen.
9 Advanced button: This button is active only when a PODxt/Live/Pro is the current device. It launches the PODxt Advanced Audio Signal Routing dialog, which allows you to choose what signal (fully PODxt processed or unprocessed) is routed to the Record Send. (See the previous #8 description). This dialog also provides options for the signal level and for the PODxt Re-Amp feature. (Also see the PODxt Re-Amping section for more about these options). Note it is not a supported practice to hot swap your Line 6 device (unplug the USB cable and plug it into a different USB device) while it is in use by GearBox or any other audio software. In fact, this just isnt a good idea to do with any USB audio devices, since it can result in a loud pop, loss of sync and possibly crash or corrupt your current audio software project.

Page 20

PODxt - Audio Signal Routing & Re-Amping
PODxt, PODxt Pro and PODxt Live provide an additional set of driver options for recording where the signal fed to Record Send 1-2 can be set to processed or unprocessed independently from what you are hearing as your monitor signal from the PODxt device. Access the PODxt Audio Signal Routing options by clicking the Advanced button in the Line 6 Audio-MIDI Devices control panel.

Setting up Record Sends in GearBox
GearBox offers controls for the Pan and Record for what is routed to the Record Sends. You can think of these Sends as virtual outputs that are internally routed to both your recording software, and to the Line 6 devices hardware outs. Your GearBox Tones are automatically routed to these Sends and you use these Send controls to configure the stereo placement, recording level sent to your audio software, and monitoring level respectively. As mentioned in the earlier TonePort sections, TonePort devices offer an additional Send 3-4, and GearBox will also display an additional set of Send controls for them when a TonePort is in use.

Page 26

The Monitor Volume knob Pan slider
Send 1-2: +18 dB Boost switch Mono switch Record Level knob
Record knob & +18 Boost switch - The Record knob adjusts the level of the signal routed out to Send 1-2, and directly affects the amplitude of your recorded audio into any software that is set to receive input from Send 1-2. Additionally, the Boost switch can be activated if the signal needs an additional 18 dB of gain. The rule for recording levels and digital audio is to always avoid clipping, yet keep the level at least above half to capture a nice strong signal. Use these controls and reference the meters above to adjust this level accordingly. Your audio software likely has meters that will reflect this level as well. Mono button The Mono button will sum the GearBox stereo Tone to Mono (actually, a dualmono signal since it is the same mono signal fed to both the Left and Right audio channels of the stereo Send). Pan - The Pan slider adjusts the left/right balance of the signal before it is routed to the Send, and therefore will affect what levels your recording software receives on the left and right channels.
Monitor level - The Monitor knob adjusts the level of the Tone Direct Monitoring signal fed to TonePorts outs. You can activate the Mute switch to mute the Tone Direct monitoring signal completely. These controls do not affect the Record level that is sent to your recording software. This allows you to balance the listening volume of your GearBox tone signal and the playback of tracks coming from your recording software.

In the Audio MIDI Setup dialog, choose the Audio Devices page
Go to the Audio menu and choose Open Aggregate Device Editor As soon as you click the Add (+) button, a device will be created for you to configure, listing all of your individual connected Core Audio devices within the Structure pane. You can also edit the name for this Aggregate Device in the top pane if you like.

Page 34

Click on the + button to create a new Aggregate Device
All detected Core Audio devices are listed in the Structure pane
Note that the numbers of In and Out ports are listed for each device In the Aggregate Device Editor, you can click the Add button to create as many Aggregate Devices as you like, and each can be configured to use the individual audio devices you choose. None of the individual audio devices are activated until you check the Use box to the left. Were going to click the Use buttons for both these audio devices, which will create an Aggregate Device with a total of 6 inputs and 4 outputs. Click on the Use boxes for both Audio Devices to activate them. (Click your devices Use box first to make it the first device in the list) VERY IMPORTANT! ALWAYS SET YOUR LINE 6 HARDWARE TO BE THE CLOCK FOR YOUR AGGREGATE DEVICE!
Keep the Resample checkboxes unchecked unless necessary (see below)
When creating an Aggregate Device, only one audio device can be designated as the Clock. This means that this device acts as the master and all other devices follow its digital clock, thus keeping all your audio in sync. Even though the Aggregate Device dialog allows you to set any individual Audio Device as the Clock, be sure that your Line 6 hardware is set as the clock as shown in the previous figure to ensure proper sync.

Page 35

The Aggregate Device Resample function - When combining audio devices, the sample rates must match to allow them to be used together. But if you run into sync problems when using some devices together, or in the case where you need to choose a sample rate not supported by all audio devices, you can check the Resample checkbox for the device. This instructs the Aggregator to automatically perform a sample rate conversion to allow the audio devices to sync. Note TonePort and GuitarPort natively support 44100 and 48000 Hz sample rates. They will also support 88200 and 96000 Hz, but will perform a sample rate conversion process to do so.

Click the Output Selector button and choose Output 1-2. This assigns the track output to your Line 6 hardware. Click the REC button to arm the selected track for recording
Note that when the track is armed, the track meters measure the input level coming in from GearBox.

WINDOWS - AUDIO DRIVER SETUP & LINE 6 AUDIO-MIDI DEVICES DIALOG
This section covers how to configure the necessary audio driver settings for your Line 6 TonePort, GuitarPort or PODxt device to run on your Windows computer. This is where you want to start so you can get your Line 6 device working with GearBox or with your favorite Windows audio recording software! Note if you are looking for Audio Driver info for Mac, please refer to the Mac Audio Driver Setup section earlier in this document. The Line 6 Audio-MIDI Devices dialog is the place to go where you can access things such as the current Sample Rate, Bit Depth, Buffer settings, Record Sends, etc. The options are slightly different depending on which Line 6 hardware you are using. Just check out the descriptions that match your gear in the following sub-sections
Since your Line 6 device includes our high-performance audio driver, it can act as a USB sound card for just about any Windows audio software that might be installed on your computer. One thing to note here is that this dialog offers controls specifically for your Line 6 hardware. The GearBox software is independent of these settings, however, youll see information regarding your Record Sends here which may change depending on whether GearBox is currently running or not. For TonePort and GuitarPort devices, you can think of the GearBox software like a giant rack of gear if it is not running and configured to use your TonePort/GuitarPort hardware, your guitar signal will still be heard, but will be naked, without all those lovely amp & effects sounds. For PODxt devices, since your Tone is always running on the PODxt itself, youll hear whatever your PODxts Tone and audio routing settings are set to deliver, and GearBox can be running or not to control which Tones you want to hear. There, arent you feeling smarter already? Be sure to connect your Line 6 device to you computers USB port and then continue with the following steps. Youll first want to launch the GearBox software, where you can launch the Line 6 Audio-MIDI Devices dialog.*
