I finally got it it installed about a year on my windows 10 laptop and got it to communicate with my MKII after about two grueling weeks. I had to upgrade computers (windows 11) due to Cubase need for massive space ffand I'm going through the same living hell again. I've put this off for weeks. What consumers have to go through to make this happen is ridiculous due to Boss not clearly labeling what is a main download and what is an upgrade for particular amps/software, etc. Love the product. HATE the unnecessary complexity of guessing everything when it could so easily be fixed.

After wasting hours on line 6 software which won't run on win 11, (can't update firmware) or in my case (and many others as indicated on every website I looked) not able to connect my android or my iphone, I took the line 6 back, got a Katana 50 and yes it works. This is a valuable video none of the manufactuers bother with. Thanks

There seems to have been quite a bit of trouble for many in getting Tone Studio installed properly, so I was very nervous about doing it myself. But I had this up and running within ten minutes or so for my 100 MkII with Windows 10. No errors or issues whatsoever. Here's what I did... Make sure my amps firmware is current. Installed Adobe Air. Very simple. Installed correct driver. My MkII did this automatically, no interaction from me. Connect amp to PC via USB, turn amp on and driver downloads and installs. Downloaded from Boss site correct Tone Studio version. There are differences. Be sure of correct version. Extracted zip, using folder names, to desktop, opened folder, clicked on the exe and Tone Studio installed like any other application. That was it. I have it running now, with all effects and devices working as designed. Maybe I just got lucky for a change!

Paul thank you for the video it was helpful. What you may have wanted to recommend in the beginning of the video is that if you’re firmware is not up-to-date in your katana MK 2 it will not recognize that it is connected to the computer. After updating my firmware I was able to use the tone studio. Thanks for the video greatly appreciated !

I dont know if you have the answer, or if you'll reply, but do you know how to fix this? I just bought a Katana Mk2, and I've done all the tests to reasonably come to the conclusion that it is up-to-date. My drivers are also up-to-date, and tone studio is up to date. Do I just Update Katana regardless or is there some solution?

Looks like midi in / midi out, and top says Katana, Katana Daw Ctrl, and Katana Ctrl, and the bottom is the same thing, but also has Microsoft GS Waveable Synth. Did I mess up one of the downloads?

I am currently using overdrive, 60s fuzz, and muff fuzz, and would like to have different bottom levels and tone levels for each of these. But for some reason, every time I change the level for these settings for one boost type, it changes for every boost type in that channel. Am I doing something wrong, or is it just not possible to have different values for each boost type in one channel?

Can I download the Tone studio on both mac’s (one is macOS High Sierra...the other is more modern, but i use it less). Can I have the Tone Studio on both my Mac’s or am I limited to 1 software download? Also do you know if it’s compatible with Mac OS High Sierra? Also i’ve owned my Katana MK2 100 for 5ish months & was too busy to get into the Tone Studio, i still have the owners manual..im assuming I’m still able to download the tone studio..hopefully on both mac’s, or am i limited to 1 computer?? Both questions would be greatly appreciated, I’m not very computer savy. Also im guessing i need a usb cable running from the amp into my computer while doing this (not the USB memory sticks right lol)
