Bought the guitar a week ago and it took a while to find a video with some sort of source on how to get the midi working. You're a life saver. This program would perfectly for the mustang pro guitar. Even with a cheapish midi to USB. Thanks!!
Excellent demo of the MAD CATZ controller. I have had many midi guitar controllers like YAMAHA EZAG, and the UROCK GUITAR controller. I got the MAD CATZ MUSTANG controller when it was discontinued. Got it from Wal-Mart for a little over $50. This cheap little controller is the best midi guitar controller I have ever had. It tracks great and has a nice tactile feel with the button frets. Works great with my YAMAHA MODX , CUBASE and my VST sounds.
I have the same RockBand3 (for Wii) Fender Mustang Pro Guitar; however, having troubles connecting. can sm1 help, please? First of all the 4 blue LEDs keep flashing and do not stabilize. Secondly, i downloaded Ableton Live and could not hear the output of the guitar. Now trying to download Kontakt Player 6 and see if it works. However, it doesn't work, i will be heartbroken :( Can you guys help, as what might be wrong?
@@sumitgandhi3048 I had to use the din midi on my MODX synth to make the MAD CATZ controller work with my DAW and VSTs. If you have a midi keyboard, that also has din midi, try porting the MAD CATZ controller through the midi din of the keyboard controller. I was never able to get the MAD CATS controller to work using the USB connection. Piggy backing the MAD CATZ controller with a keyboard controller with midi din works, but I think your keyboard controller has to be able to port din midi to usb midi. Basically a keyboard controller that can have more than one virtual USB midi port out to your DAW. I think the flashing blue light means that the MAD CATZ controller is not receiving midi.
@IansUnknownArt Plug the input on the midi cable into the guitar. Open Kontact. Goto File>Options>Audio. Select you ASIO driver and various other options. Then goto the 'MIDI' tab and see you MIDI cable in the list.Click you cable under the status collum and select PORT A or the first option that turns it on. Now load up an instrument from the library and play...
@AlyMckntsh93 I got the demo and demoed a few other product in the Komplete 7 package then decided to buy it. It cost me £400 for the entire lot but even now I can't believe the quality ,value and flexability of it all. It's amazing.
@theZodiacDigital if you want an open string to stop just press all or the actual fret buttons on the neck to stop it. Kinda like muting with your other hand. No way around it i'm afraid so keep away from open notes. Hammer ons and pull offs can only be done in legato mode by pressing the start or back button I can't remember. Obviously in that mode, no plucking the strings it's all hammers and pulls or nothing.
@EduardoMC07 Yes just fret a bar across any frets and press down to mute. MIDI is on/off signals. a sustained note is just a note that hasn't been told "off" so any note above it or on it should silence it The quickest way to find that note is just to do a bar with your finger.
@IansUnknownArt O a Mac yes. There is software by a guy who contacted me on RUclips to test it out. I use a PC so was unable to help. As far as I know it's not possible on PC yet. Unless you just wanted to down tune or up tune the standard tuning. You could do that by just de-tuning the Instrument your using, there is a dail dedicated to this within Kontakt.
@theZodiacDigital Yeah sometimes. It just kinda gets confused sometimes. Maily open strings though and never tapping mode. Just quickly lay your fingers across a bar of buttons and press down to stop it.
@spaceshipable no the usb to midi cable was just generic item i bought seperately. I now use this from it's midi port into an audio interface midi port on my Rig Kontrol.
@Harrysound I might look for some of the cheaper cables; some electronics tend to be really expensive here in Denmark. Thanks for the quick response though. :)
That's what he's actually doing. He's plugged his Pro Guitar into his computer, using a 5 pin MIDI to USB cable, and then he's using a piece of software called Kontact to get different sounds of the guitar. He's playing whatever he wants, not playing along with Rock Band 3.
@brutalaxxe The inlays are stickers I stuck on because i'm an old school guitarist that just kept getting lost on this 17 fret guitar lol :) I bought it from ASDA (british supermarket company owned by Wallmart) online store. i've never been in one of the their shops so i'm not sure if they sell it there.
@matimaui 3x AA batteries required. Only has a Midi out but obviously you just need to buy a MIDI to USB cable. Midi playback should be on par with the start, i'm not sure of the differences in latency.
Very cool! I've been looking into options for a while and was almost going to go with the YRG, but this is a fraction of the price and seems to be very similar in design. I just ordered one!
+Harrysound Yeah, a used one on ebay. I'll still probably get something better in the future. Are you still recommending the Fishman? I thought about the Rock Band Squire, but just a few dollars more would get me the Fishman.
@AlyMckntsh93 Oh yeah Native Instruments Also offer Komplete 7 Elements which is a stripped down package for a rather more affordable price of around £70 ish
@pilofree The strings are velocity sensitive the buttons on the fret board are not. You can change the MAX and MIN velocity within kontakt easily. The fret button triggers are spot on,very good. The string triggers work but do often miss trigger if played like a normal guitar. Being Midi though this is easily fixed and its a great way to lay the foundation down very quickly. Hammer ons dont work in string mode,its one or the other. Download the free Kontakt player and poke around for yourself.
@SuperEarther Sound Pack? I dunno if you actually bought Kontakt or not but I did so i've got the run of the whole library of sounds. I really like the Harp :) . The stand alone player has what ever you put into it, Kontakt is just the engine to drive whatever you have. The sounds in this demo were all from the free pack available on the web site.
@IansUnknownArt So you must have downloaded the Kontakt player, to get the instruments used in this video here just go back to Native-Instruments,com and look to find the "Factory Selection" which is a free download of a set of instruments. you should also get an email about it sometime soon.
hey man! where did you get that controller from?? ive been looking online and have found similar ones but can't find the one with the white button inlays like you have! keep up the amazing work dude! :)
@SuperEarther try pressing either Back or Start I forget which one but it changes the guitar from legatto mode to plucking the strings mode if you like...either way, your nearly there :)
@maxxyporky only when plucking the strings. It has to figure what strings and how hard you plucked them and then send that info off so there is delay there but not so mcuh you can't use it. Also depends on you Audio Interface.
@Harrysound any sound pack you would reccomend using? i tried the classic guitar one but still getting the hang of it......does the stand alone player have built in instruments?
@Harrysound i loaded up a guitar sample from the database selection box but all i get is sound patterns from each string/fret....strange. Must be doing something wrong. Will try x or b thanks
So wait... All I need is the guitar which I have... cubase/kontakt... which I have... and it will work? No special program to get it to read the guitar?
I was using the free trial in this video though. So you can get some sounds for free :) Also you could look into 3rd party instruments for kontakt. Only a silly man/woman would buy Kontakt stand alone rather than the Komplete bundle. Amazing value.
@Harrysound Just a question, does it happen to you that when you hit a note too fast, it never decays? When I hold it down for too little time it seems like the "note off" signal doesn't travel... does this happen to you?
hey, first off - thanks for uploading this video, definitely some interesting stuff going on here.. i'm thinking about getting one of these soon but i'm concerned about the usb-midi cable - most of the cheaper ones that I've found have comments about the Mustang controller being incompatible, so I was wondering which cable specifically you were using? thanks again.
is there any way to alter/change tunings of individual strings......coz i guess based on the VST or standalone softwares , you only have the option of messing around with scales and transpos of everything as a whole.....please do answer my query.....would appreciate cheers \m/
@harrysound did you ever experience any issues with sudden random notes you did not play? I have one of those and it does that from time to time... very annoying.
@AlyMckntsh93 Well you need to find a program that will accept MIDI signals. Thats not hard. You then need that program to trigger sample banks it may have built in. Basicly, if you have something like Cubase or Cakewalk or Pro Tools or Reason or whatever i'm more than certain you'll be able to find some FREE Instruments to use as VST's or RTAS.
@mintroini do you mean the real fender rock band guitar ?. I'm not sure that has a MIDI mode? If you mean the adapters you can get for your real guitar that change real notes into MIDI then, they are terrible .
@SuperEarther im using the edirol usb midi interface um-1sx with kontakt 4. Deivce works fine on windows 7 but its the guitar end i dont think that likes this adapter. Are there specific ones i should use? (i have the xbox 360 pro guitar)
Just the octave. I sold this many years ago with free postage, actually cost me the same to send it than what they paid me for it so I made nothing but I have to say this style of keytar is probably more useful than a fishman triple play which I bought to replace it.
@Harrysound Thanks for responding! I'm fresh off of trying the Jammy G, Jammy Evo, Fishman Tripleplay, and the Jamstik Studio(returning it today actually. Boxing it up as I type this).

Looking forward to buying this and tearing the strings off to install separate midi pads do I need the strings at all for tap mode I heard a rumer that u set the velocity the plucking the strings before u use tap mode ?? Or does your pc program kinda ride over the velocity setting
So I am using the guitar with Cubase 5 / Kontakt, it is amazing. I was wondering if you hare having trouble with the keys suddenly remaining pressed? Even on synth mode, if I press a key sometimes it remains stuck. This is without picking the string and having released the key. Any ideas?
i can't get it to work with my DAWs...i have a usb midi cable i bought off Amazon with midi in and out on one end and usb on the other but I use a laptop so i have no midi in...do i need an interface?
Very cool. I'm a MIDI newbie i.e. I know nothing. . Downloaded free Kontakt5 onto Alienware (i7-3820 CPU @ 3.6 Ghz - 8G RAM win7- 64 home), connected RB3 Mustang with MIDI-USB connector cable. . .Tried to follow set-up in K5 manual but no sound. . .Are there Step-by-Step instructions for MIDI to PC for Dummies anywhere? Would be satisfied with a basic guitar set-up. Thanks.
Hey, I got this to work with Mixcraft, and was wondering if you know what the XYBA buttons on the guitar do? I'm trying to figure it out myself but cannot really tell their purpose. Sometimes I'll accidentally press them and either the pitch changes or sustain/delay might be added. Do you have any definitive idea on which button does what on this guitar? Thanks in advance!
Saludos amigo... Apenas estoy usando este controlador midi. Tengo un problema con el kontakt, solo funciona en la primera cuerda. Sabes cuál es la solucion a este problema?
is it usb powered or battery powered? does it have only midi out or can it send midi via usb? is the midi playability as good as the squier strat midi contoller? is the midi as good as the yourock guitar? any answers to these questions wil be appreciated
carlos Guerrero Londoño find the manual there’s a button press to get it into midi mode where the light flashes (I think) also download the free software from native instrument. You want Kontakt or something
@satanicmantrare5 nope, only while connected to some equipment or computer hardware/software that accepts midi. You can buy better real guitars for less than this costs so obviously only use this if you absolutely have to. Or like me you want to play other instruments via midi.
@bigmarkdarula Just cut them up and stick them on. It's a mess if you look closely, I didn't do a very good job but you know, it's a plastic guitar....
@@Harrysound Which version do you have? I have the Wii version & bought 2 MIDI-USB cables & tried using them in my PC with KONTAKT (NI) just like yours & IT DOES NOT WORK. It's like the cables are wrong. But the Mustang controller works fine in my Fender B Deck 30 with MIDI chaep sounds. MAYBE YOURS IS A XBOX 360 VERSION? I don't know what to do.
Hi i just get me a mustang rb3 and i have a squier rb3 too.I tried that in kontakt 4 and 5 and i have the same probleme with both... The first string work fine but the rest always stay like i m using sustain pedal the note last forever... anybody know what to do... let me know please...

+Ihaveriffs absolutely.for me there is no competition for the Fishman. It's got it's issues but it's the best solution to the midi guitar.

@jacksoncollins1 yes, the back button, or start? i cant remember toggles this.
This is the answer to my problems. AMAZING!!!!
@sledhammer1 The X and B buttons on the guitar shift octaves up and down , you can see me doing this in the video.
I assume the Kontakt Player is used instead of a MIDI sound module? Because all the cables I can find do have both cables for output and input.
pretty cool, does it have buttons on the fretboard?
@IansUnknownArt You have to activate the free Factory Selection I think? You should have the details in your email.

It's as if you replaced the audio with strings rather than a guitar, however what's really happening is you're playing a sampler on kontakt.
hi man so i have this guitar but i dont now how you played this like a normal guitar, how you do this?
Midi to usb cable and some software on pc :)
@@Harrysound ok. But what software and how can I configura te the guitar
carlos Guerrero Londoño find the manual there’s a button press to get it into midi mode where the light flashes (I think) also download the free software from native instrument. You want Kontakt or something

can you show how you did it ?
@satanicmantrare5 nope, only while connected to some equipment or computer hardware/software that accepts midi.
You can buy better real guitars for less than this costs so obviously only use this if you absolutely have to.
Or like me you want to play other instruments via midi.

Yo I'm gonna buy one can you email me your presets and how to?
Do all 3 vesrions of the controller, Playststion3, Wii & XBox360 (yours) function identically?
Can’t say for sure but I reckon so
@@Harrysound Which version do you have? I have the Wii version & bought 2 MIDI-USB cables & tried using them in my PC with KONTAKT (NI) just like yours & IT DOES NOT WORK. It's like the cables are wrong. But the Mustang controller works fine in my Fender B Deck 30 with MIDI chaep sounds. MAYBE YOURS IS A XBOX 360 VERSION? I don't know what to do.
@@michaelbooth4998 it shouldn’t matter , make sure kontakt is set to revive midi from the cables
Does anyone know how to set up this guitar in kontakt for a lefty?
Hi i just get me a mustang rb3 and i have a squier rb3 too.I tried that in kontakt 4 and 5 and i have the same probleme with both...
The first string work fine but the rest always stay like i m using sustain pedal the note last forever... anybody know what to do...
let me know please...
Can you tell me what kind of computer cord I need for this guitar?
You would need a MIDI to USB cable
Thank you
pleas edo keep me posted though....thanks for your time :) cheers\m/\m/
2 questions: 1) can it used without batteries, so with an external ac adapter? 2) can I deactivate the wifi signal? Thank you in advance.
N o T i m e N o S p a c e sorry it's a no in both counts. Also it'll on work with midi cable plugged in, not wifi.
