Hello everyone,

I am currently trying to rewrite the HD500x edit for Linux. I am looking for some testers to ensure that I am not wrong with the interpretation of the messages: this is done through reverse engineering.

Currently the application is only console and supports a few information retrieval (1 week of work during spare time):
- Pedal position
- Pedal Type
- Pedal parameter values without the unit
- Preset change

Not supported features:
- Amp information retrieval
- Setup information retrieval (Tempo, midi, channel, etc)
- Much more

To build this you will need both golang and alsa-libs. The app uses the interfaces provided by the module snd-usb-podhd present normally in all distros.

Just run go run main.go and change manually to a preset to see if it is working for you.

By the way, I am looking for some designers for the GUI and developers are welcome.

I am HD500X owner, and this sounds awesome! I will test is soon.

Hello,

I have made a first alpha release on github.com:
https://github.com/StarAurryon/lpedit/releases/tag/v0.1

Don't forget to change the preset on the POD first to see something happening.

This has now a GUI in QT which is much more easier to read than the console . If you want to build this by yourself instead, you will need to install QT bindings by thereciepe/qt and run $(go env GOPATH)/bin/qtdeploy.

I'll keep you posted.

That link is broken, and no releases available.

It should be working now. I saved it as draft before

Hello,

I made a new release available at https://github.com/StarAurryon/lpedit/releases/tag/v0.2.

It adds some initial write support for pedals (on/off, type change and parameter change).

If you have a PODHD500, 400 or 300, could you please also try it? I would like to check what needs to be changed in order to support them.

Hello,

I made a new release available at https://github.com/StarAurryon/lpedit/releases/tag/v0.4

You can now use this apps for the basic use of the POD instead of the Line6 POD HD500X edit if you are under Linux.

Please open bug reports in GitHub if any.

Are you still developing this? I own a POD HD500X (bought in 2015 or 2016) and only use Linux, so I thought I would never be able to use software to manage my effects. I've been playing more recently, so on a whim, I did some searching and found this today. I downloaded your software, but it looks like it's still at the same level of development it was 2 years ago. If you still would like some help, I'd be happy to test the software for you. I even know a meager little bit of coding (C++, Python, JS), so I might even be able to help with something small on that end.
