Universal Bass-to-MIDI Converter
Owner's Manual
Congratulations on your purchase of the
B2M™. Please take the time to read
through this manual to ensure you get
the best from your B2M™.
What is the
B2M™
The B2M™ is a simple to use, but highly
effective, Bass-to-
"Universal" because it doesn't need a
special pick-up mounted on your bass
guitar, but instead simply connects to
your bass like any other effects pedal or
Tuner. However, this does mean that it
can only work "monophonically", so
chords are not supported.
Specifically designed and optimised for
all 4-, 5-, 6- and 7-string basses to give
accurate triggering, with very low-
latency, it is a true plug-and-play solution
for monophonic
Midi
to sequence bass lines, add an edge to
your live performances and to open up
many creative possibilities.

connected correctly.
Because of its low power consumption,
the unit will run for many hours (typically
for more than 60) on a single battery.

replaced, the

immediately since
