mustang-midi-bridge-win

This application enables any Windows computer to translate MIDI messages to the proprietary USB protocol used by Fender Mustang amplifiers.

It is porting of https://github.com/snhirsch/mustang-midi-bridge to Windows.

It is tested only under Windows 10 but there is no fancy requirements. It should works from XP to 10.

It is a simple to use command-line program. In most cases the following command is enough.

mustang_midi.exe 0 1

The complete MIDI implementation is here.

Run

  • Download the 3 files included in bin folder
  • Save them in any local folder (no installation required)
  • Connect your Fender Mustang amplifies via USB and power on it
  • From Command Prompt run
    • mustang_midi.exe to list the available MIDI interfaces/ports
    • mustang_midi.exe 0 1 to start listen to port 0 and MIDI channel 1.

Compile

You don't need to compile anything because we provide binary files. However if you want build it from scratch, contribute or customize something I used the following steps.

  • Download and install Visual Studio 2019 (any version). I used the free Community edition.
  • During installation it is enough to select "Desktop Development with C++" option
  • Run Visual Studio 2019
  • Clone this github repository https://github.com/alf45tar/mustang-midi-bridge-win (everything you need is included)
  • Open the Solution file mustang-midi-bridge-win.sln
