User manual FENDER BULLET DELUXE GUITAR

[. . . ] An experienced MIDI/computer music composer will find most of this document familiar, even boring. 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 you are using a different OS, don't worry; most OS's offer similar functionality. [. . . ] 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?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. The last part of the application setup is to switch off MIDI throughput. Go to the menu item "Switches" and uncheck the "Automatic MIDI Thru" menu item (see figure 4). 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. Selecting MIDI-OX IN/OUT In section 1 we covered the issue of setting Windows XP to redirect the MIDI file to the BULLET DELUXE GUITAR. MIDIOX has a similar mechanism and needs to be told where to direct MIDI traffic. Go to the MIDI Output window and select the device name through which you will be transmitting data to the BULLET DELUXE GUITAR. This selection should then appear in the "Port Mapping" window. Go to the MIDI Input window and select the device with which you will use to receive BULLET DELUXE GUITAR messages. The selection should appear in the "Port MAP objects" window. See Figure 8 for an example. Figure 7 Initial MIDI OX device window Figure 8 MIDI OX device window after devices have been selected Transferring a single preset from the BULLET DELUXE GUITAR to the PC 1. In the "Sysex View and Scratchpad" window (third icon in the toolbar) go to the "Sysex/Receive manual dump" menu. [. . . ] Sending all of the BULLET DELUXE GUITAR preset from the PC to the BULLET DELUXE GUITAR. The procedure for sending all of the BULLET DELUXE GUITAR presets from the PC to the BULLET DELUXE GUITAR is similar to the above step. In the MIDI-OX "Sysex view and scratchpad " window select "File / Send Sysex File". Choose a file that was created using the DUMP ALL function, then press the OPEN button in MIDI-OX. [. . . ]
