MIDI PICKUPS The MIDI pickups for the CYBERBASS 5 are located in the analog bridge pickup. When your CYBERBASS 5 leaves the factory, the bridge pickup is preset to a correct adjustment. However, if you decide to change the action on your CYBERBASS 5. the bridge pickup may have to be reset. (See Page 19 "MIDI PICKUP ADJUSTMENTS.") If the bridge pickup is not adjusted correctly, the PEAVEY CYBER BASS will not operate properly. CLEANING You will find that the CYBERBASS 5 has excellent tracking. This is due to the "SENSING FRET" technology, used in its design. The CYBERBASS 5 is a fret/string CONTACT system. What this means is that the fret and the string have to make CLEAN CONTACT with each other, so that your CYBERBASS 5 will be able to accurately locate your linger position on the fret. Once the CYBERBASS 5 has ascertained where your fingers are, this information is relayed to the synthesizer, instantaneously, and the result is the sounding of the correct note. There are many materials that can get between the string and the fret and interfere with contact: grease from your fingers, tarnish on the frets, rust on the strings, lint from unsuitable cleaning cloths, oil from oil-based smoke machines, etc. But DON'T PANIC. The solution is so simple. Just clean your strings. It is essential to keep not only your strings but also your frets clean and free of tarnish, grease, and grime. It cannot be stressed enough how important this is. Which leads us to the MOST IMPORTANT piece of information regarding the care of the CYBERBASS 5, and that is: NEVER USE STEEL WOOL TO CLEAN FRETS OR STRINGS! SYNTHESIZERS If you use the Peavey CyberBass™ Module or the Spectrum™ Bass module, you will have no MIDI compatibility problems, as these modules have been set up for use in conjunction with the CYBERBASS 5.

MIDI CHANNEL ALLOCATION If you do not fully understand how to set these parameters on all the sounds in your synthesizer, you will be unable to operate the system successfully. DO NOT DESPAIR.
