Frequently Asked Questions - Fender Rock Band 3 Wireless Mustang PRO Manual

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: Is it okay to leave my wireless receivers plugged in even when the Wii console is off?
ANSWER: It's best to remove your wireless receivers from the USB connectors when not in use.
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: 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 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 Wii console.
SOLUTION: Follow the graphical instructions on the previous pages to sync your Rock Band 3 Wireless Fender Mustang PRO-Guitar Controller to the
Wii console. If your sync was successful, you'll see a steady blue LED on the wireless receiver. If Rock Band 3 is running, the system will also assign
the Rock Band 3 Wireless Fender Mustang PRO-Guitar Controller a player number and illuminate the appropriate LED. If the system is still in the Wii
HOME Menu, the LEDs will remain blank until the game is started.
PROBLEM: My Rock Band 3 Wireless Fender Mustang PRO-Guitar Controller isn't working in the Wii HOME Menu and it hasn't assigned me a
controller number.
SOLUTION: While the Rock Band 3 Wireless Fender Mustang PRO-Guitar Controller will sync up to the wireless receiver while the Wii console is in the
Wii HOME Menu, you will need an active Wii Remote to select Rock Band 3 and enter the game. Once the game is up and running, the Wii console will
assign your connected Rock Band 3 Wireless Fender Mustang PRO-Guitar Controller a player number (1-4). At this time, you can put the Wii Remote
away and navigate the in-game menus with the Rock Band 3 Wireless Fender Mustang PRO-Guitar Controller.
PROBLEM: The game is asking me for a microphone. I don't want to be the singer.
SOLUTION: When a Wii controller is connected to the Wii console, the game will look for a microphone (since the Wii 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 Wii
console, and then use it to navigate the in-game menus.
PROBLEM: I have multiple peripherals and I cannot plug them all in – there are only two ports!
ANSWER: Many Rock Band peripherals have wireless receivers that also have USB passthroughs that will allow you to attach multiple peripherals
using only two USB connectors. Most powered USB hubs will expand your capabilities. Please remember to never "daisy chain" a Rock Band 3
wireless receiver that has a USB passthrough into another Rock Band hub with a USB passthrough. For examples of popular setups, please visit
