Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What computers and operating systems can be used with Cyber Commander and Cyber Viewer?

    Cyber Commander and Cyber Viewer are 32-bit applications requiring a working PC running Windows 2000, Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 with at least 512 Mb of RAM and 20 Mb of disk space for installation, additional storage space will be required for user files, 1 or 2 USB ports will also be required if the PC does not have built-in MIDI Ports. Compatibility with non-Microsoft operating systems is unknown and not supported.

    A display with a minimum resolution of 1024x768 is required to view the complete display without having to scroll the window.

    Although MACs are not supported, MACs can be used if:

    1. The Mac is an Intel based machine and it
    2. Has a PC emulation program such as Parallels desktop
    3. Has an Installled Windows operating system such as Windows XP

    In such a case, the MAC behaves like a PC and Cyber Commander can be installed.

  2. What is “MIDI” and how does it affect me?

    MIDI means Musical Instrument Device Interface. It was developed a while ago by the music industry and is a music industry standard today. That standard defines the electrical connection, cable connection, communication setups, and the MIDI data. More information on MIDI standards can be found at: http://www.midi.org/

    For our purposes, MIDI devices communicate with two ports, a data send port and a data receive port. These ports are separate physical ports. A single MIDI cable is used to connect a data send port to data receive port.

    The Fender Cyber Twin amplifiers have a data send and a data receive port. The Fender Foot Controller has only a data send port. You will need a MIDI cable for each data port, two for the Cyber Twin and one for the Foot Controller. The only means of communication between you PC and the Cyber Twin or the Foot Controller is through these MIDI ports.

  3. How can I connect Cyber Commander on my PC to the Cyber Twin amplifier?

    First, you will need a MIDI device that connects to the PC. The simplest of these devices is a MIDI to USB converter. We have tested the Roland Edirol UM-1EX, UM-2EX, and UM-3EX USB to MIDI devices and have concluded that they work well in most situations and have found them to be reliable. However, we recommend the UM-2EX devices as these are very flexible and convenient devices to work with. The UM-2EX has a built-in USB cable, one receive port and two send ports. To connect the UM-2EX to the PC, simply plug its USB cable into your PC. You will need one UM-2EX for the Cyber Twin and another UM-2EX for the Fender Foot Controller.

    You will know if you have properly connected your MIDI devices and cable if your see the MIDI lamp light up on the Cyber Twin. The MIDI lamp is located just below and slightly to the left of the Cyber Twin’s Data Window. Check to see if this lamp is lit, if it is, your wiring should be OK.

    If you use the UM-1EX, you will need a 5-Pin MIDI coupler, available from The Source/Radio Shack, part number 274-530. This will be needed for the MIDI loop-back test. The UM-1EX has both a USB cable and a MIDI cable. The MIDI cable is rather short, good for home but probably too short for stage or studio. You will need one UM-1EX for the Cyber Twin and another UM-1EX for the Fender Foot Controller. You will also need at least two MIDI cables to connect to the Cyber Twin amplifier and another MIDI cable to connect to the Fender Foot Controller. An additional short MIDI cable is recommended for the loop-back tests, but not necessary.

    If you use the UM-2EX, you will need at least two MIDI cables to connect to the Cyber Twin Amplifier. One cable allows the Cyber Twin to receive data and the other allows the Cyber Twin to send data. If you have a Fender Foot Controller, you will need a third MIDI cable. An additional short MIDI cable is convenient to have for the loop-back tests, but is not necessary. The MIDI cables can be of any length.

    If you use the UM-3EX, same cable choice as for the UM-2EX. Please note the UM-3EX is a more complicated device. We would suggest starting with a UM-1EX or a UM-2EX. One UM-3EX can be used for both the Cyber Twin and Fender Foot Controller.

    If you have Windows XP (or equivalent), XP will load the appropriate MIDI drivers and prepare your PC accordingly when you “plug” the MIDI to USB device into your computer.

    Older operating systems should use the latest MIDI device drivers. Set up your PC with the appropriate MIDI drivers as necessary before proceeding to the next step. These are provided by Roland with the purchase of either the UM-1EX, UM-2EX, or UM-3EX.

    Third, run Cyber Commander and run System Setup. System Setup will check the MIDI devices and cables, and connect your PC to the Cyber Twin amplifier.

  4. What are these MIDI to USB devices and what do they do?

    These devices allow your PC to communicate to MIDI enabled equipment such as the Fender Cyber Twin amplifiers. These devices convert USB binary format into MIDI binary format and vice versa.

    For the PC to actually talk to the MIDI enabled equipment, you will need to install specific software onto your PC for that purpose. That software is what allows your PC to communicate with the MIDI enabled equipment.

    Cyber Commander CT and Cyber Commander SE software allow your PC to communicate with the original Cyber Twin amplifier and the Cyber Twin SE amplifier respectively. The communication is done through these MIDI to USB devices.

  5. My MIDI Device won’t/refuses to connect. What can I do?

    When the MIDI Device refuses to connect to your PC, usually the software drivers are at fault. Make sure the latest software drivers are installed and are functioning properly.

    If the latest drivers are already installed, there are in general two possibilities:
    First, other MIDI software may be running and clashing with these drivers. The typical remedy is to shutdown the other software (and drivers). Second, the MIDI drivers may have become corrupt or are not the latest drivers. The typical remedy is to download the latest drivers for your MIDI devices and re-install these drivers (make sure you first uninstall the old MIDI drivers for your device before installing the latest drivers).

    In general, if the software drivers can not be coaxed into working, it is probably time to obtain a new MIDI device. We recommend a MIDI to USB interface because such devices are very easy to install (or remove), tend to be modern, and they work.

  6. Do I need a Fender Foot Controller?

    No, you do not need a Fender Foot Controller; however we do recommend it for live performance situations where quick setup is essential.

    If you plan on live performance and plan on quickly switching preset tones, a foot controller is very useful to have. With it, you merely tap on the selections you need and the preset is immediately selected.

    Finally, the Fender Foot Controller is specifically designed to work with your Cyber Twin and is constructed to meet the demands of road use. But most of all, because it is a MIDI device, it provides control over the full range any effect without the dropouts that is typical of all analog foot controller pedals.

  7. How do I program the Fender Foot Controller?

    The Fender Foot Controller only sends MIDI data, it does not receive any MIDI data. All of the programming is done in the Fender Cyber Twin amplifier, not the Fender Foot Controller. The most you can program on the foot controller is the MIDI Transmit Channel. We do not recommend you do that. If you do, please note that the Fender Foot Controller MIDI Transmit Channel will reset to 1 on every power up.

    The “programming” for the Fender Foot Controller is about setting up the MIDI Map in the Cyber Twin or assigning an effect to be controlled by the left pedal (Continuous Controller pedal).

    The MIDI Map is nothing more than a long table. Each row number corresponds to the Fender Foot Controller Program Number. Each numbered row contains a Cyber Twin preset number. The Cyber Twin preset numbers are individual Player’s Lounge P00 to P84/P99 (CT/SE), Custom Shop C00 to C84/99 (CT/SE) and finally, Your Amp A00 to A34/49 (CT/SE) settings. Whenever a foot controller program number is selected, the corresponding Cyber Twin Preset number is selected to setup the Cyber Twin’s tone.

    Use Cyber Commander’s Build MIDI Map editor to edit/create the MIDI Map, then save the MIDI Map in the Cyber Twin or as a file on your computer.

    The pedal assignment allows you to assign an effect to be controlled by the Continuous Controller. Up to 17 possible effects can be assigned, 4 of which are specific to the preset effect. Lots of choices.

  8. What are the differences between a MIDI Continuous Controller and an analog Expression Pedal?

    The MIDI foot controller is very precise and it spans the entire Cyber Twin control range. Analog foot controllers typically will not span the entire range because the impedance of the analog pedal typically does not match the Cyber Twin’s impedance range. Analog expression pedals are subject to noise, dirt, dropouts and so on. The MIDI pedals never “degrade”, they either work or they do not and nearly always, they work.

  9. How do I start and use Cyber Commander?

    First, you have to install Cyber Commander on the computer that you will use. The installation process is very straight forward, but you do have to interact with it (usually clicking the OK button).

    Second, run Cyber Commander and “Activate” the software. Do this by clicking on Software Activation in the Menu Bar. Follow the instructions to activate the software. Please read the EULA, activation is for one computer only.

    Once the software has been activated, click on System Setup in the Menu Bar and follow the instructions exactly as requested. System Setup’s job is to setup MIDI communication between the Cyber Twin and your PC and put the Cyber Twin into a default working state.

    Once MIDI communication between Cyber Commander and the Cyber Twin has been established, you are ready to use Cyber Commander. But before you do: We recommend that when you use Cyber Commander for the very first time immediately after System Setup, perform a Player’s Lounge Get From Amp followed by an immediate Player’s Lounge Save To File (suggested filename: MyOriginalPlayersLounge) before you do anything else with Cyber Commander. This way, you will have immediately backed up your Cyber Twins's Player's Lounge to your PC.

  10. What is Activation?

    For each purchase, the End User License Agreement (EULA) allows you to activate Cyber Commander on one computer.

    Activation is an interactive procedure between Cyber Commander on your specific PC and General Cyber Systems. This procedure will cause an Activation Key to be created for your specific computer. The key will not work with another computer – choose your computer carefully before you initiate the activation process.

    Activation on a specific computer is a one-time procedure and once completed, your license will be used up. Please consult the EULA for detailed information regarding the software license.

    To initiate “Activation”, click on Software Activation in the Menu Bar. Follow the instructions to activate the software. You must be connected to the Internet or else the Activation process will not complete and Cyber Commander will remain de-activated.

    Once activation and communication between Cyber Commander and the Cyber Twin have been established, Cyber Commander will be ready to use.

    If activation has not been done, Cyber Commander will function in a very limited capacity.

  11. Cyber Commander doesn’t seem to communicate with the Cyber Twin amplifier, what do I do next?

    Power the Cyber Twin Off and On, then click the Connect Amp/FC button on the Menu Bar. If Cyber Commander still does not communicate with the Cyber Twin, then re-run System Setup. System Setup will repair (it’s more like an overhaul of) the data path between Cyber Commander and your amplifier.

    If this fails, perform a manual Factory Reset. If for some reason the Cyber Twin has been put into an unrecoverable state (this sometimes happens), the Factory Reset will reset the Cyber Twin. The Factory Reset was provided for these kinds of events. Please note that when you do a Factory Reset, then your Player’s Lounge, MIDI Map, and Quick Access Presets will be reset to the original factory settings.

  12. How do I know if MIDI communications between Cyber Commander and the Cyber Twin have broken down?

    The sure-fire test is a simple Player’s Lounge Get From Amp followed by a Player’s Lounge Save To Amp. You should see traffic go both ways on Cyber Commander’s or the Cyber Twin’s display. If there is a communication problem, you will know immediately because the traffic indicators will freeze.

    Fix this by clicking on Connect Amp/FC on the Menu Bar. If there is still no MIDI communication, then re-run System Setup.

    As a last resort, do a manual Factory Reset of your Cyber Twin.

  13. When would I need to re-run System Setup?

    Run System Setup whenever communication between Cyber Commander and the Cyber Twin cannot be established. System Setup will perform a complete MIDI device/PC checkout, it will capture Windows communication port assignments, and save all communication setup data for use later on. It will also put the Cyber Twin into a default, working MIDI setup. System Setup’s job to establish a default, working communication link with the Cyber Twin.

    The most common loss of communication happens when the USB to MIDI device is unplugged from your PC, then plugged right back in (for example, the USB cable got pulled out). Plugging it back in will not restore MIDI communications. The reason is that Windows randomly reassigns the USB ports to the MIDI devices whenever the MIDI devices are plugged in. When this happens, the port assignment that Cyber Commander knows about, is no longer the same port assignment that Windows just re-assigned. It’s a little like dialing the wrong phone number – you won’t get to communicate with the one you want to communicate with. This will cause MIDI communication between Cyber Commander and the Cyber Twin to stop.

    Whenever MIDI communications between Cyber Commander and the Cyber Twin stop as described above (or whenever MIDI communication cannot be established), just re-run System Setup. System Setup is a general purpose “fixit” and will work with Windows to setup the communication ports with the MIDI device.

    Example: While your PC is powered and running, if you pull out the MIDI device’s USB cable you will cause communication to break down between Cyber Commander and the Cyber Twin. The act of reconnecting the cable to same USB port will not re-establish communication, you will have to re-run System Setup. Reason: Windows re-assigns the ports randomly, System Setup will find the port assignment again.

    Example: Your PC is powered off and stays powered off. You disconnect the MIDI devices. If you have not powered up the PC, you can reconnect the MIDI devices exactly as they were before. Then power up the PC. The PC will not have seen any change, and Connect Amp/FC will work. If you reconnect the MIDI devices differently, you will have use System Setup.

    Assuming you have backed up your Player's Lounge, in the most extreme cases, you may have to perform a manual factory reset on the Cyber Twin, followed by a System Setup using Cyber Commander. A manual factory reset will erase and replace your Player's Lounge with the factory default Player's Lounge and it will reset the entire Cyber Twin to factory fresh. This procedure ensures a clean start of both the Cyber Twin and Cyber Commander. Please note, this procedure is suggested in the extreme case where nothing seems to work.

  14. When would I need to Re-Run Connect Amp/FC?

    First, turn on the Cyber Twin and let it settle. Then start Cyber Commander and click on the Connect Amp/FC button in the Menu Bar to start MIDI communication between your PC (and Cyber Commander) and the Cyber Twin. This is the preferred way to connect to the Cyber Twin once you have used System Setup.

    Connect Amp/FC will result in a successful MIDI connection to the Cyber Twin amplifier only as long as you do not disconnect the MIDI devices from your PC while the PC is running or some Windows “event” has not happened that would reassign the USB ports.

    Most of the time, you will simply power down your PC or the Cyber Twin and return later on. After powering up both your PC (and Cyber Commander) and the Cyber Twin, just click on Connect Amp/FC to re-establish MIDI communications. Use Connect Amp/FC before doing a System Setup. If Connect Amp/FC fails to re-establish MIDI communications between Cyber Commander and the Cyber Twin, then use System Setup.

  15. How many files can I store on my PC and on the Cyber Twin?

    On your PC, you can store as many files as your PC will let you. That can be a lot.

    On the Cyber Twin, you can only store presets in the Player’s Lounge. If you have the original Cyber Twin, up to 85 presets can be stored, if you have the Cyber Twin SE, up to 100 presets can be stored.

  16. How can I retrieve files on my PC and load them onto the Cyber Twin and vice versa?

    You will need to use the Get From Amp, Get From File, Save To Amp, and Save To File buttons. There are two sets of these buttons: one set for the Current Preset and one set for the Player’s Lounge.

    First, please note Cyber Commander displays ONLY what has been loaded into it. However, the top half of Cyber Commander’s screen always displays what the Cyber Twin is set to – this is a real-time Cyber Twin display.

    Second, note that Cyber Commander can be loaded with Player’s Lounges or Single Presets from either a file on your PC or from the Cyber Twin. The buttons for these controls are the “Get From File” and “Get From Amp” buttons in Cyber Commander. By clicking on these buttons you can load Cyber Commander with a Player’s Lounge or a Single Preset.

    Third, once Cyber Commander has been loaded with the desired Single Preset or Player’s Lounge, Cyber Commander can write this data to your PC or the Cyber Twin by clicking on the “Save To File” or “Save To Amp” buttons.

    Note that if you are going to Get and Save Single Presets, then use the buttons in the Single Presets column in Cyber Commander. If you are going to Get and Save Player’s Lounges, then use the buttons in the Player’s Lounge column.

    Single Presets can be saved into a Player’s Lounge location on the Cyber Twin or into a file. Single presets can be retrieved from the Cyber Twin (Player’s Lounge, Custom Shop or Your Amp) or from a file on your PC. Once retrieved, both Cyber Commander and the Cyber Twin will be set to all of the retrieved Current Preset settings.

    The entire Player’s Lounge (from Cyber Commander) can be saved into the Cyber Twin or into a file. Similarly, an entire Player’s Lounge can be retrieved from the Cyber Twin or a file on your PC. Whenever a Player’s Lounge is retrieved from a file on your PC, you are given a choice to also load it into the Cyber Twin (overwriting the current Player’s Lounge in the Cyber Twin).

  17. What’s the difference between the “Active Preset” and the “Current Preset”?

    The Active Preset is the latest numbered Preset that was selected on the Cyber Twin. It will be one of P00 to P84 (CT)/P99 (SE), C00 to C84 (CT)/C99 (SE), or A00 to A34 (CT)/A49 (SE). The Current Preset is just that, whatever the tone controls have been set to as a result of selecting one of the numbered presets, or simply experimenting with the various tone controls.

    The moment an Active Preset is selected, the Current Preset assumes all of the parameters and settings from the Active Preset.

    The Current Preset may be saved to file by clicking on Save To File in the Single Preset column, or by clicking on Save To Amp in the Single Preset column. If you click on Save To Amp, the only place to save the single preset will be in one of the Player’s Lounge memory locations (P00 to P84/P99).

    When you click on Get From Amp in the Single Preset column, all of the settings in the Active Preset (as stored in Cyber Twin’s memory) will be loaded from the Cyber Twin to Cyber Commander.

    If you do a “Get From File” in the Single Preset column, Cyber Commander will be set to this preset.

    When you do a Single Preset Get From File or Get From Amp, that preset will be load into the Cyber Commander’s top-half display and all of this data will also be used to set the Cyber Twin settings.

  18. What is Cyber Commander’s real-time control and display?

    The top half of Cyber Commander’s display will always display exactly what the tone settings are on the Cyber Twin.

    For example, if you do a “Get From File” in the Single Preset column, Cyber Commander will get this data, it will set its top half display, and it will set the Cyber Twin to all of these settings.

    This is what is meant by real-time control: the top half (including the control knobs) are loaded onto the Cyber Twin always – this way, what you see on Cyber Commander’s top half of the screen is exactly what you will hear from the Cyber Twin.

    You can select any item in the top half of the screen or rotate any of the control knobs in the middle of Cyber Commander’s screen. Whenever you do this, the Cyber Twin will be slaved immediately to the new setting. The top half of Cyber Commander’s screen is the real-time Cyber Twin control panel.

  19. How do I edit, create or modify the Player’s Lounge?

    Click on the Build Player’s Lounge Editor button. It will pop open the Build Player’s Lounge Editor so that you can create or edit the Player’s Lounge.

    Please note: the Build Player’s Lounge Editor begins by pre-loading whatever Player’s Lounge that has been loaded into Cyber Commander. Make sure the right Player’s Lounge has been loaded into Cyber Commander before clicking on Build Player’s Lounge. Please note the Build Player’s Lounge editor does not have a Get From Amp button, you have to do that before Build Player’s Lounge Editor is invoked.

    The Build Player’s Lounge Editor provides the means to get from your PC any Player’s Lounge or Single Presets and then build your own custom Player’s Lounge. Once you have finished creating/editing your own custom Player’s Lounge, you can use the Editor’s Save to File or Save to Amp button. Please note that if you exit the Build Player’s Lounge Editor before saving your work, it will be lost.

    Once you exit the Build Player’s Lounge Editor, Cyber Commander will be set to the current Cyber Twin Player’s Lounge.

  20. How do I edit or create the MIDI Map?

    Click on the Build MIDI Map Editor button. It will pop open the Build MIDI Map Editor Editor so that you can create or edit the MIDI Map.

    The Build MIDI Map Editor will allow you to Get From and/or Save To Amp or a Save To File all of the MIDI Map data. The input to the MIDI Map is an ordered list of Cyber Twin Preset numbers P00 to P84 (CT)/P99 (SE), C00 to C84 (CT)/C99 (SE) and A00 to A34 (CT)/A49 (SE).

    For example::
    Program Number (or index) 0 -> P00
    Program Number (or index) 1 -> P59
    Program Number (or index) 2 -> C44
    …All the way to…
    Program Number (or index) 127 -> A02
    The “->” means points to.

    The “MIDI Map” is nothing more than a relationship between the index (0 to 127) and the Preset numbers. The Build Map Editor will display the names of the Cyber Twin’s Presets (Player’s Lounge, Custom Shop, and Your Amp). This is done so that it is easy to relate the preset numbers to actual preset names.

    If the Player’s Lounge is changed, the “MIDI Map” remains unchanged because it is a relationship between the index numbers (or program numbers) and the preset numbers, and not actual settings. If you plan on relating the MIDI Map with your Player’s Lounge, we would suggest using the same file name for both files (Player’s Lounge and MIDI Map). The extensions will of course be different. By using the same file name, it becomes very easy to relate the Player’s Lounge and the corresponding MIDI Map, you merely load the same name Player’s Lounge and MIDI Map into Cyber Commander (and then onto the Cyber Twin).

  21. How can I convert my Cyber Twin Player’s Lounge into the Cyber Twin SE format?

    You will need both a Cyber Twin and Cyber Twin SE amplifier. You have to connect the Cyber Twin amplifiers as depicted in the Cyber Commander SE manual and download the Player’s Lounge from the Cyber Twin to the Cyber Twin SE. At the moment, we do not provide a Player’s Lounge conversion tool (from the Cyber Twin to the Cyber Twin SE), we may in future.

    In general, this is a one-way trip, from the original Cyber Twin to the Cyber Twin SE. The reason is that the Cyber Twin SE does everything the Cyber Twin does as far as settings go. The converse is not true (the Cyber Twin SE does things the original Cyber Twin can't). Please note there may be some tonal differences between the original Cyber Twin and the Cyber Twin SE.

  22. Can I use the *.txt files between Cyber Commander CT and Cyber Commander SE ?

    Yes, but with certain restrictions.

    The *.txt files are text mode Single Preset files produced by Cyber Commander. These files have no product code identification (the binary files do have such identification and are not compatible). Please note the common settings between Cyber Commander CT and SE will be recognized and used. The non-common settings will cause an error and the file will not be loaded. In general, all Cyber Commander CT text files can be read and input to Cyber Commander SE but not all Cyber Commander SE text files can be read or input to Cyber Commander CT.

    Please note that Cyber Commander CT or SE does not attempt to fix or compensate for any data errors in a file, it only uses the data that is in the file.

    Since these are text files, you can also post them on various web forums and trade them. They are readable by any text editor like Notepad. Please do not use Word or similar word processing software as these software will inject all sorts of control codes and corrupt the text file.

    While possible to edit these text files manually, it is not recommended in case an error is introduced. Error will render the file unusable. Cyber Commander does not have extensive error detection capability (only some very basic checks), unpredictable behavior can result if errors are introduced as a result of editing these files. In general, Cyber Commander will announce an error and will not load the faulty file.

  23. Can I use the *.spr and *.pre files between Cyber Commander CT and Cyber Commander SE ?

    No, the binary files are not compatible, there are many differences between them.

    The *.spr and *.pre files are binary Single Preset and Player’s Lounge files produced by Cyber Commander. You cannot interchange binary files between the Cyber Commander CT and Cyber Commander SE. These are binary files from the Cyber Twin and they have a specific original Cyber Twin or Cyber Twin SE product code identification included in these files as well as many other differences. Cyber Commander CT will respond only to binary files from the original Cyber Twin and Cyber Commander SE will respond only to binary files from the Cyber Twin SE.

  24. What is the difference between the Cyber Commander CT and the Cyber Commander SE?

    Cyber Commander CT was specifically designed to work with the original Fender Cyber Twin amplifier.

    Cyber Commander SE was specifically designed to work with the Fender Cyber Twin SE amplifier.

    Although these softwares are similar in many ways, they are not the same, and neither are the binary files that they produce.

    The non-obvious differences are in the binary header information. The original Cyber Twin and the Cyber Twin SE expect to receive a product code ID. If it does not match their own code, the amplifier will reject the data (and so will Cyber Commander). This means you cannot swap the binary files between the original Cyber Twin and the Cyber Twin SE.

    The obvious differences are the controls for the amplifiers. Compared to the Cyber Twin SE, the Cyber Twin CT does not have the following:

    1. Presets Effects:
      1. Auto Pan Delay
      2. Fuzz
      3. Resolver
      4. Pedal Pitcher
      5. Overdrive
      6. Alienator
      7. Pedal Wah + Delay
      8. Touch Wah + Delay
      9. Pedal Wah + Fuzz
      10. Touch Wah + Fuzz
      11. Fuzz + Delay
      12. Octave + Tape Echo
      13. Mid Boost + Tape Echo
      14. Overdrive + Tape Echo

    2. Timbre
      1. Drop Scoop
      2. Super Bright
      3. Squawk
      4. Acoustic Scoop

    3. Hum Redux

    4. Tone Stacks Neo-British and Dyna-Touch

    Other items of interest:
    1. Despite the different names, the Dyna Touch 4 Drive Circuitry on the Cyber Twin CT is the same as the Extreme Drive Circuitry on the Cyber Twin SE. Only the names are different.

    2. Pedal Assignment Reverb Diffusion on the Cyber Twin CT will NOT be transferred to the Cyber Twin SE because the Pedal Assignment Reverb Diffusion is not part of the Cyber Twin CT’s Player’s Lounge data.

    3. The Cyber Twin CT has 85 Player’s Lounge settings, 85 Custom Shop settings, and 35 Your Amp settings, and the Cyber Twin SE has 100 Player’s Lounge settings, 100 Custom Shop settings, and 50 Your Amp settings.

    4. The Cyber Twin SE does not have a Demo Mode, the Cyber Twin CT does.

    These differences are programmed into Cyber Commander CT and Cyber Commander SE to match the amplifiers.

    The Cyber Commander CT software will work only with the original Fender Cyber Twin amplifier (and NOT with the Cyber Twin SE amplifier).

    The Cyber Commander SE software will work only with the Fender Cyber Twin SE amplifier (and NOT with the original Cyber Twin amplifier).

    Aside from these control settings, the original Cyber Twin and Cyber Twin SE are programmed differently and despite having the same settings, may sound different. In addition, there are some hardware differences between them as well. Please consult the Fender forum at
    http://www.fender.com/community/forums/ for more information on these differences.

  25. What is Cyber Viewer?

    Cyber Viewer displays and prints the Player’s Lounge from the Player’s Lounge files on your PC. It is provided as a complement to the Custom Shop and Your Amp Preset Lists.

    Cyber Viewer will work only on files stored on your PC, it cannot fetch the Player’s Lounge from the original or SE Cyber Twin amplifier. You will need Cyber Commander or similar to do that.
