I'm using USBPcap and tshark to snoop communication and plan to

implement all features accessible from the Fender FUSE application.

However, some targets listed in the MIDI spec (e.g. amplifier on/off,

tuner mode) are not controllable from FUSE and it may take some time
|

and luck to figure out the protocol.

NOTE1: I'm not sure about other platforms, but on Linux the MIDI

1. Update ```60-midi.rules``` with the USB VID (vendor id) and PID
|
||||
(product id) of your controller.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Edit ```mustang_bridge_start``` to set values marked as user
|
||||
edits. In addition to setting the VID and PID, you need to specify
|
||||
the index of the MIDI interface (see note below) and the MIDI channel
|

you want the bridge to listen on.
|

|
||||
NOTE: I'm not sure about other platforms, but on Linux the MIDI
|
||||
port number is equivalent to the ALSA card index. I had originally
|
||||
treated port as 1..n, but since ALSA (and JACK? Not sure..) starts at
|
||||
0, this has now been changed. You can find the card index for your
|
||||
controller by connecting it to the computer and examining the
|
||||
pseudo-file, e.g.:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ cat /proc/asound/cards

NOTE2: RPi and BBG are a bit fussy about enumeration of new USB

devices. If you are not getting proper communication, quit the program

those devices are powered up.

NOTE3: I've had success using a passive USB hub with the single USB on
|

the BBG, but YMMV since most USB<->5Pin MIDI converters draw some

degree of bus power. A powered hub might be necessary in some

situations.

If you have configured everything correctly, the bridge should start

the bridge will be killed automatically.
