User manual FENDER BULLET DELUXE GUITAR

[. . . ] An experienced MIDI/computer music composer will find most of this document familiar, even boring. A novice might find the document confusing. If you consider yourself a MIDI novice, then please take a deep breath and then dive in. PC System types Examples are shown below for a few specific system types. [. . . ] If your system is properly configured, you should hear the song being played through the BULLET DELUXE GUITAR on-board synthesizer. Choose or create a performance preset to get an appropriate guitar tone, and jam away! MAC OK, I am connected, how do I send MIDI music from my Macintosh to the GDEC?First, we will need some software to play MIDI files. For demonstration purposes only, we will use the Demo version of Metro 6. 2. 5 SE available for download at http://www. sagantech. biz/products. htm or at the Apple website http://www. apple. com/downloads/macosx/audio/metrose. html. After downloading the application, find and double click the Metro SE Demo icon. When Metro starts up, the first thing to do is set up the application to identify your MIDI device. Go to the "Setup" menu and select "MIDI Setup. . . " as shown in figure 2. This will bring up a window that allows you to select devices for which to send and receive data. The M-Audio Uno should show up as "1x1" in the pull-down menus next to each parameter (see figure 3). If the device does not show up, try the "Rescan MIDI Devices" button. Once all fields are set to "1x1", press "OK". Or you could transfer your presets directly to another BULLET DELUXE GUITAR. Copying presets from one BULLET DELUXE GUITAR to another One very cool option that should be mentioned first is the ability of the BULLET DELUXE GUITAR to copy presets from one GDEC to another. You can choose to copy a single preset or all of the user presets. First, connect a MIDI cable from one BULLET DELUXE GUITAR to another BULLET DELUXE GUITAR. The BULLET DELUXE GUITAR that you want to copy from should have the MIDI cable connected to its MIDI output. The BULLET DELUXE GUITAR that will be copied to should have the MIDI cable connected to its MIDI input. To send the preset, go to the BULLET DELUXE GUITAR that has the preset to copy and press the UTILITY button several times until the DUMP PRST function is highlighted. The preset will then be copied to the other BULLET DELUXE GUITAR. Change the circled parameters to the settings shown in Figure 6. Figure 6 Sysex / Configure window, change the circled settings Changing the delay number from the default of 60ms to 180ms helps the PC meter out the MIDI data at a slow enough pace to not overwhelm the small buffers inside the PC. Checking the "Save Dump directly to a file" box causes MIDI-OX to automatically ask for a filename. The above settings have worked well on test PCs, although your PC may be different. [. . . ] A progress bar will appear and show your presets being loaded to the BULLET DELUXE GUITAR. The BULLET DELUXE GUITAR LCD will show a "LOADING PRESETS" message. Once the loading is finished the BULLET DELUXE GUITAR will return to normal mode.
