FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

QUESTION: Is the Rock Band 3 Wireless Fender Mustang Pro Guitar Controller backwards-compatible?
ANSWER: The Rock Band 3 Wireless Fender Mustang Pro Guitar Controller is not supported by previous Rock Band titles, but you can play any tracks
you have imported into Rock Band 3 from previous Rock Band titles by using the first 5 frets and last 5 frets on the guitar.
QUESTION: For how long should I hold down the sync buttons?
ANSWER: The sync buttons only require a quick press and release in order to start the sync process. As soon as you see the LED state change, you
can release pressure on the button.
QUESTION: What is that big black port on the side of the Rock Band 3 Wireless Fender Mustang Pro Guitar Controller?
ANSWER: The Rock Band 3 Wireless Fender Mustang Pro Guitar Controller has built-in MIDI functionality that allows this peripheral to act as a MIDI
controller when used with other compatible devices. Please see www.madcatz.com/FAQ/rockband for more information about this feature and to
download the MIDI manual.
PROBLEM: The 4 LEDs under the Xbox 360 Guide button don't do anything.
ANSWER: Those LEDs are used to communicate power states and MIDI options to the user. They are only illuminated when the peripheral is plugged
into a MIDI system.
PROBLEM: My Rock Band 3 Wireless Fender Mustang Pro Guitar Controller keeps disconnecting.
SOLUTION 1: Ensure there are no wireless devices around that could potentially interfere with your Rock Band 3 Wireless Fender Mustang Pro Guitar
Controller. Common offending devices include cordless phones, Wi-Fi routers, and microwaves.
SOLUTION 2: Make sure that the batteries are not jarring loose during play. A thin layer of duct tape, cardboard, or weather-stripping foam on the
inside of the battery door can help secure the batteries during insane solos.
PROBLEM: I cannot tell if my Rock Band 3 Wireless Fender Mustang Pro Guitar Controller is synced to the Xbox 360 console.
SOLUTION: Follow the graphical instructions on the previous pages to sync your Rock Band 3 Wireless Fender Mustang Pro Guitar Controller to the
Xbox 360 console. If your sync was successful, you'll see a steady green quadrant illuminated on the Rock Band 3 Wireless Fender Mustang Pro
Guitar Controller's Ring of Light that designates the assigned player number. This should match the illuminated quadrant on the Xbox 360 console's
Ring of Light.
PROBLEM: The game is asking me for a microphone. I don't want to be the singer.
SOLUTION: When an Xbox 360 controller is connected to the Xbox 360 console, the game will look for a microphone (since the Xbox 360 controller
is used to control the vocalist's settings). If you want to play Guitar or Pro Guitar parts, sync the Rock Band 3 Wireless Fender Mustang Pro Guitar
Controller to your Xbox 360 console, and then use it to navigate the in-game menus.
You should also be sure that the peripheral you are using is compatible with the software title you are playing.
Please see www.madcatz.com/FAQ/rockband for more information.
PROBLEM: I have multiple peripherals and I cannot plug them all in – there are only two ports!
SOLUTION: Primary Xbox 360 peripherals are wireless. Many additional peripherals, however, require USB ports. Most powered USB hubs will expand
your capabilities. For examples of popular setups, please visit www.madcatz.com/FAQ/rockband.
