VPIM is a utility special for users with a Line 6 Variax guitar and the Variax Workbench software package.
This utillity can save a lot of time. Iinstead of loading different patches into Workbench, you can now

  • Open a directory with your single patches (*.vwm) and all will be loaded into VPIM
  • Show useable patch information, Variax Workbench is not needed.
  • Search for a combination of Author, BodyType, PickupType, search if pickups are switches in series or parallell , search for pickups which are in phase or out of phase, search for patches which have alternate tunings or default tunings
  • Copy found patches with search to a directory you want.
  • Double click on a patch will automatically launch a patch into Variax Workbench in editor mode if installed (sometimes Workbench need be started manually, patches will then load automatically).
  • Latest opened patch directory will be saved.
  • Added print options for your Workbench bundle
  • Added print options fro your Tone Collection files
  • Does not wite to registry
  • Very small exe <100k
  • No DLL's needed
  • Can be run from USB Stick
  • Workbench is not needed to show information of patches.

Thanks go out to Cor de Visser, he made this freeware program and already made adjustments to it. Read the readme-file inside the Winzip package for more info.

Download the Winzip file, unzip it, open Workbench and run VPIM, seach for your patch directory and let VPIM do the search for you...

Guitarport Remote... 15-11-05

Guitarport Remote Logo

While using the Guitarport application you sometimes would like to be able to switch between different tones and / or use it as a MIDI controller. Patrick Julien made a program to do just that.

This software has not been developed by Line 6. It was not sanctioned by Line 6. This software is distributed as freeware. There is no guarantee with this software.

How to use GP Remote:

  • Open your GuitarPort software
  • Start GP Remote.
    (If you see "GuitarPort Preset:" and the name of the preset loaded in your GuitarPort software, communication between apps is fine)

MIDI Controller User:

  • Config the MIDI port used by your controller (Options...MIDI Controller Devices).
    Make sure no MIDI controller is configured in GuitarPort (in Edit...Preferences...MIDI).

To map a preset to a trigger (Keyboard or MIDI controller ProgramChange command)

  • Click on Map New Trigger.
  • Press a key or send a ProgramChange or Controller command from your MIDI controller.
  • Select a preset in your GuitarPort software.
  • Click Add.

To modify an existing preset:

  • Right click on it and select Edit Preset or just Double click on it.
  • To change the preset associated with this Trigger, click on the button that shows the name of the current GuitarPort preset. (If you change the Preset in your GuitarPort, the button will update itself)
  • Click modify and the preset will be updated in your Trigger mapping window.

To use a sequencer(like Cubase) to change GuitarPort preset automatically:

  • Install a Virtual MIDI Port software (like LoopBe1, search Virtual MIDI Port on Google).
  • Select this virtual device as a controller in GuitarPort Remote (Options...MIDI Controller Devices).
  • Select the same virtual device in your sequencer as MIDI out device.
  • Send a ProgramChange command (Midi Channel 0 should be fine, Report to your Sequencer docs to do that)

The software is free to download and use for everyone, but be nice and pay respects and pay a visit to his website and read. Patrick thanks for the work and enjoyment for all.

The program itself is a zipped file, that you need to 'unzip' and install, read the readme file, or above here for further instructions.

V Stomp for Guitarport... 07-05-05

checco zalone sole a catinelle

There are a lot of Guitarport users out there, one of them is Line 6 Man, a die hard Line 6 fan. He was fiddling around with his gear and discovered a way to have the stompbox feauture in Guitarport change from pre to post. Allthough many would prefer it to be in pre maybe some would like this feauture.

This software has not been developed by Line 6. It was not sanctioned by Line 6. This software is distributed as freeware. There is no guarantee with this software.

Tigerbill came to the rescue and made a small utillity called V Stomp and it changes your stompbox, while using Guitarport from pre to post and back. You can use Guitarport and V stomp at the same time. When V Stomp is activated, set the midi out port to guitarport, and use the big button to set it pre/post. The button is labeled with pre or post for your reference.V Stomp it's freeware so you don't have to pay anything. Thanks to Line 6 Man and Tigerbill

Checco Zalone Sole A Catinelle 🎉

Underneath a software overview

Nearly 10 years ago I wrote an application to allow Roland GP-100 users to view their settings in a simple text display.   Now I've gone and done it all again, this time for PODxt users.   PodScope is a Windows application that allows you to view your PODxt settings as text, print them, add notes, and share them with other users.

Here's a screenshot ...

checco zalone sole a catinelle

Installation

  • Read the disclaimer at the bottom of this page first
  • Download it
  • Extract all files in the zip to any directory and then run setup.exe
  • When completed, you can safely delete the installation files

How To Use

Use PodScope to get your settings via MIDI , or open a PODxt System Exclusive file (plenty of these on the net ;-).   You can request and view any of the PODxt settings: current patch, a nominated patch, all channels, amp setups or FX setups.

Use the dropdown list to select different patches, if you've loaded more than one.

Click the Notes button to add notes to a patch (they're listed at the bottom of the view area)

Save to save your settings & notes as text - there are 2 file type options:
(1) Plain Text is probably best for copying into emails and user forums
(2) Rich Text is best for viewing later in a word processor

Click Print to print your settings and notes (did I mention it's intuitive?)

Click Options to customise your display options

The Definition File

  • I've tried to keep the application as generic as possible, so it uses a definition file (PodScope.def) to load model names, describe how sysex data is interpreted, show how values are presented, etc.   This will also allow easy upgrades as POD firmware is improved (post EQ maybe, hint hint ;-), and also other languages can be supported to a reasonable extent.

System Requirements

Windows 95 and above only

PODxt only (but if someone would like to buy me a Vetta ... ;-)

The supplied definition file supports PODxt version 1.04, although it will work with older versions, showing the version 1.04 model names (changing Rectifier to Threadplate is the only one I'm aware of).

Testing & Plans

This is version 1.0 Beta, so at this early stage, I'm interested mainly in removing any bugs you may find.  

Please with the word "PodScope" in the subject. I expect to release version 1.0 soon, with no known bugs, and at least with its current functionality.

I don't plan to develop this into a graphical editor or librarian.

I am considering other features such as saving settings back into your POD over MIDI, and also a CSV file format so users can export text settings into a database.

Download PODScope V1.0 Beta

The first download needs to include many support files (some of which you probably already have on your PC anyway).   Updates will be *much* smaller.

Checco Zalone Sole A Catinelle 🎉

The 2013 comedy Sole a catinelle (Sun in Buckets), starring Checco Zalone, is often described by reviewers as a quintessential "light" Italian film that balances slapstick comedy with social commentary. It broke box office records upon release, becoming one of Italy's highest-grossing films. The Hollywood Reporter Critical and Audience Perspectives The "Everyman" Satire: Critics from

note that Zalone plays a flawed, stereotypical Italian character—lazy yet ambitious, ignorant but lucky. This causes a sense of "alienation rather than identification," making his absurd behavior the primary source of comedy. Father-Son Dynamic:

A central theme highlighted in helpful reviews is the relationship between Checco and his son, Nicolò. The film follows a "road trip" format where Checco promises his son a dream vacation if he gets top marks in school, despite being broke. Social Commentary: While it is a "silly film," reviewers from The Hollywood Reporter

observe that it reflects the economic and social contrasts of modern Italy, particularly the struggles of the working class against the backdrop of the financial crisis. Polarizing Humor:

Reviews are mixed; some find it a "laugh-out-loud" family favourite, while others find the humor "mean-spirited" or thin. Some users on checco zalone sole a catinelle

suggest it lacks a strong plot compared to his other work, like Film Summary Buen Camino (2025) - IMDb 30 Dec 2025 —

The Unstoppable Optimism of Checco Zalone’s " Sole a catinelle " Released on October 31, 2013, Sole a catinelle

(literally "Sun in Buckets," a play on the Italian phrase for "raining cats and dogs") solidified Checco Zalone as the undisputed king of Italian modern comedy. Directed by Gennaro Nunziante, the film captured the spirit of a nation grappling with economic recession through the lens of a father’s desperate—and hilarious—promise to his son. Plot: A High-Stakes Promise

The story follows Checco, a struggling, optimistic vacuum cleaner salesman who finds himself plagued by creditors after losing his steady job. Amidst financial ruin and a strained marriage, he makes a bold promise to his 9-year-old son, Nicolò: if the boy brings home a report card with perfect marks, Checco will take him on a "dream holiday". The 2013 comedy Sole a catinelle (Sun in

Against all odds, Nicolò succeeds, forcing a completely broke Checco to make good on his word. What follows is a journey across Italy—from the rural landscapes of Molise to the elite circles of Tuscany—where Checco uses his wits and "boorish" charm to navigate social and economic divides. Cultural Impact and Box Office Dominance

Released in 2013 and directed by Gennaro Nunziante, Sole a catinelle

is a record-breaking Italian comedy starring Checco Zalone that satirizes the 2008 economic crisis through the story of a struggling salesman taking his son on a road trip. The film remains one of Italy's highest-grossing productions, blending slapstick humor with themes of fatherhood and social inequality. For a detailed summary and production information, visit

Released in 2013, Sole a catinelle (Sun in Buckets) is the third film by Italian comedian Checco Zalone (Luca Medici). Directed by Gennaro Nunziante, it shattered box office records, earning over €52 million and becoming one of the highest-grossing Italian films of all time Plot Summary Report: The Cultural and Commercial Phenomenon of Checco

The story follows Checco, a struggling vacuum cleaner salesman and eternal optimist who is deeply affected by the economic crisis but refuses to let it dampen his spirits. He promises his son, Nicolò, a "dream vacation" if the boy achieves straight A's in school. When Nicolò succeeds, Checco—completely broke and facing repossession of his appliances—is forced to make good on his promise. VideoAge International

They set off on a journey to Molise to visit Great-Aunt Ritella, but through a series of coincidences, they find themselves in the ultra-luxurious world of wealthy industrialists. Checco navigates this world with his trademark blend of ignorance and accidental brilliance, eventually crossing paths with Zoe, a wealthy art restorer, and becoming embroiled in a plot involving financial crimes and a factory strike.

Report: The Cultural and Commercial Phenomenon of Checco Zalone’s “Sole a catinelle”

4.2. Box Office Records

Upon release on October 31, 2013, Sole a catinelle shattered Italian box office records:

  • Opening weekend: €18.7 million (over 2.5 million admissions).
  • Total gross in Italy: €51.9 million.
  • Attendance: Over 6.7 million tickets sold.

At the time, it became the highest-grossing Italian film ever (a record later broken by Zalone himself with Quo vado? in 2016). It outperformed major Hollywood blockbusters like The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and Gravity in the Italian market.

3.1. Musical and Lyrical Characteristics

  • Genre: Pop-dance with folk and electronic influences.
  • Lyrics: Written in a mock-romantic style, the song describes a love so intense that it metaphorically causes meteorological chaos (“sole a catinelle” literally means “sun like buckets,” an oxymoron combining torrential rain with blazing sun). The chorus is intentionally nonsensical yet highly catchy:

    “Sole a catinelle, catinelle, catinelle… ma che tempo fa?”
    (“Sun in buckets, buckets, buckets… what’s the weather like?”)

  • Language: Mix of standard Italian, Apulian dialect inflections (Zalone is from Bari), and invented words.

1. The Absurdity of Fake Depth

Checco tries to hijack a profound, almost mystical dialogue about nature to appear cultured. His "democratic sun" speech is actually a brilliant piece of twisted logic. He anthropomorphizes the sun as a tax-evading, indifferent entity. The comedy lies in the gap between his pseudo-philosophical ambition and his physical reality (crying from photokeratitis).
