B2M™ Universal Bass-to-MIDI Converter Owner’s Manual B2M™ B2M™ 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-MIDI converter. It is “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 bass. It can be used to sequence bass lines, add an edge to your live performances and to open up many creative possibilities. Power Your B2M™ is powered by a single 9V PP3 battery (supplied). Simply connect the battery observing the correct polarity. If you connect it the wrong way round it won’t cause any damage, but the unit won’t operate until this is connected correctly. Because of its low power consumption, the unit will run for many hours (typically for more than 60) on a single battery. When the battery is close to needing replaced, the LOW BATTERY LED will light. It is not necessary to replace the battery immediately since the B2M™ will continue to function normally. When the battery is nearly exhausted, the LOW BATTERY LED will flash and the battery must be replaced. If you need the B2M™ to work reliably for several hours (e.g., a recording session, or when playing live) the battery should be replaced if the LOW BATTERY LED is lit. The B2M™ is switched on when a lead is plugged into the BASS jack. So, to maximise battery life, this jack must be disconnected when you are not using the unit. After 30minutes of inactivity the B2M™ will enter a low-power (but not fully off) state to preserve the battery. To restart the unit, simply unplug and re-insert the lead into the BASS jack. Operation Using your B2M™ couldn’t be simpler: • Plug your instrument (electric bass) into the BASS jack socket. The POWER LED will light. • • • • C Th no m to in so th ja Tu Fo in PU PO Th an If re po th tu W pu co Ev tu lo pe fo
