Cyber–Champ ™ Amplifier 3 I n t ro d u c t i o n Your new Cyber–Champ™ amplifier is brought to you by the same Tone–team that created the Fender® Cyber–Twin™ and Cyber-Deluxe™ amplifiers. As the crowning achievements of Fender’s most advanced research and development project, Cyber–Series™ amplifiers are endowed with Fender’s exclusive Virtual Tone Interpolation™ technology (patent number 6,222,110). VTI™ technology enables the Cyber–Champ™ amplifier to be different amplifiers according to circuit design.

The Cyber–Champ™ amplifier supports the MIDI standard using the MIDI IN and OUT jacks on the front panel, both 5-pin DIN jacks.
MIDI See the MIDI Implementation Chart on page 14 for details. Adjusting Amp Settings You can adjust any knob on the Cyber–Champ™ amplifier using the following continuous controller numbers. Values range from 0=off to 127=maximum. Control changes can be recorded using a sequencer so that you can play them back during performances. A sequencer must first capture knobs before it can control their settings.
MIDI 11 Modulation Effects Modulation Effect parameters in the figure and table below are accessible for the current effect type only by MIDI continuous controller numbers 114-118 (except Rate (CC# 115) which is also accessible by the TAP button). Continuous controller messages have a value range of 0-127. Vibratone Level Rotor Speed Doppler Freq.
MIDI Delay Effects Delay Effect parameters in the figure and tables below are accessible for the current effect only by MIDI continuous controller numbers 120-124 (except Delay Time (CC# 121) which is also accessible by the TAP button). Continuous controller messages have a value range of 0-127. CC# 120 121 122 123 124 Digital Level Delay Time Feedback Low-Pass Freq. Cutoff Input Level Tape Level Delay Time Feedback Wow & Flutter Low-Pass Freq.
MIDI 13 System Exclusive Messages See Appendix 2 on page 15 for details. Transferring Presets The last saved version of a preset is actually what is transmitted—recent (unsaved) edits are not transmitted. You can transfer any preset between Cyber–Champ™ amplifiers or between a Cyber–Champ™ amplifier and a computer. Cyber–Champ™ to Cyber–Champ™ Connect MIDI OUT on the transmitting amplifier to MIDI IN on the receiving amplifier.

Appendices Appendix 4 17 SysEx ◊ Handshake Following the guidelines of the MIDI specifications, data is transmitted as follows: First, the System Exclusive Header is sent. The amp will wait 200ms to look for a handshake. If no handshake is received then the amp will transmit the first data packet. The transmission continues until all the information has been sent. After the last packet, the End of File message is sent.
