The You Rock Guitar® is a fully functional MIDI controller. You can also connect
You Rock Guitar® to your computer to play software synthesizers or to record
MIDI tracks with programs such as Apple Garage Band, Logic, Steinberg Cubase,
Presonus Studio One, Finale
™
, Propellerheads Reason, Ableton Live, etc.
You can connect your You Rock Guitar® to hardware synthesizers over MIDI. You
can also connect it to your computer over USB or through a MIDI interface (if
you have one for your computer).
Your computer or MIDI device with USB will recognize the You Rock Guitar®.
Most computer music programs on the Mac or PC support MIDI over USB.
When used as a MIDI controller, the You Rock Guitar® sends MIDI messages when
you play notes, bend the whammy bar, or use the Mute control. It also sends MIDI
data when you play back any tracks you record (see page 20).
