Dear All,

Some news from General Cyber Systems ( http://www.generalcybersystems.com/GCSWebSite/News.htm ):

Version V1.02 released today. This version update affects only the *.txt files, no other aspects of Cyber Commander are affected. Issues corrected in the *.txt files are as follows:

1. Parameter 19 in the *txt file is OK; however, the comment field was stuck with message “Delay Out Level”. This now updates with the selected effect. The only impact was presenting an erroneous comment which could lead to confusion when read.

2. Some of the buttons in the FX/Reverb Bypass were incorrectly specified in the *.txt file. The buttons in Cyber Commander are correctly labelled, some these labels were not correctly generated in the *.txt files. These are:

a. version 1.01”FX & Reverb Out”, to version 1.02 “FX In & Reverb Out”

b. version 1.01” FX Out & Reverb In”, to version 1.02 “FX Out & Reverb In” (removed extra space)

3. Two buttons in FX/Reverb Bypass sub-window in Cyber Commander were capitalized (that’s how can tell the difference between V1.01 and V1.02 (and you can check the About in Help Menu).

4. Consequences of upgrading from V1.01 to V1.02:

The fixes are very minor, if not cosmetic in nature. However, it was decided to fix these minor issues since it does preserve consistency between the text files and both the Cyber Twin Amp and Cyber Commander descriptions.

Since the *.txt parameters are affected (as described in 2. above), the *.txt files are not compatible between V1.01 and V1.02. You can manually edit or the preferred way is to regenrate the *.txt files. Since the *.spr and the *.pre files are not affected, do a Get From File *.spr and then do a Save To File using the same file name. The *.txt file will be automatically overwritten in version 1.02 format.

5. These are the only differences between V1.01 and V1.02.


V1.02 is provided to all Cyber Commander customers free of charge. To download, please use the download link provided in the purchase email originally sent (Subj: Your Purchase from GeneralCyberSystems). If you have lost it, please email General Cyber Systems Customer Support ( support@generalcybersystems.com ) with your name and Purchase Authorization Number and we will re-issue the email with the link to download. Once you download V1.02, just install it over V1.01. There is no need to re-activate the software.



The Behringer FCB1010 foot controller can be used in place of the Fender Cyber Foot Controller. We do not plan on changing the graphics in Cyber Commander at this time. However, either foot controller can be used without any loss of functionality.



Edirol UM-1EX/2EX/3EX have been tested and are recommended for use with Cyber Commander. For the UM-1EX, The Source (Radio Shack) 5-Pin MIDI coupler will be required for the MIDI loop back test. The part number that we know (and hopefully is still valid) is: Model 274-530.


There will be some generalcybersystems.com maintenace updates tomorrow, nothing major. just a year-end cleanup.
Ciao,
Johnny.

Hey John,

I just wanted to say a big THANKS! for all your help in getting me back up and running with the Cyber Commander SE. Also for the update to the new version.

As always, your support is top level. :D

Dear All,

We are thinking about releasing a "dongle" version of the Cyber Commander software. The dongle connects to the USB port whenever you would use Cyber Commander. This way, you could move Cyber Commander around from PC to PC without registering.

How do you all feel about a dongle version of Cyber Commander?

Ciao,
johnny.

Hi Johnny,

I didn't know what was meant by a "dongle" - so I searched google for it.

If I understand this correctly - A "dongle" is a small thing, about the size of a 'blue tooth', that has a ROM chip in it, and a USB plug. Then, you would program the ROM chip with your Cyber Commander program. And when it's plugged into a USB port - the program is available. Is all that correct?

If all that is right - the only down side I can see (at this moment) is the expense of the "dongle". My questions would be - is the expense of the "dondle" passed on to the musician, and, if so, how much?

The dongle looks like a USB memory stick, but it isn't. There are many forms of dongles, from full USB drives to simple, programmanble microcontrollers. Their purpose would be to enable software and allow the EULA to float from one computer to another - the EULA would be tied to the dongle.

What we are thinking of is letting the dongle hold the activation key(s) to use the software only (rather than a USB drive). Basically, the software and user files would be installed independently on any computer, but to use the software to its full extent, you would need to plug the dongle into the computer's USB port. This is the lowest cost aproach we could find and it allows you to back up your computer and its files independently of the dongle. And for would-be hackers, the keys are dynamic and PGP encryted. Good luck trying to crack... maybe next century...

We are looking and asking lots of questions, we are trying to find a sensible low cost solution (emphasis on low cost). We have our own specs (dynamic encrytion) as it appears there are suppliers we can work with.

The obvious benefit would be that that you can install Cyber Commander on as many computers as you want, and you can enable full operation by plugging the dongle into the USB port. This means you would not need an activation key, the dongle is the activation key. To accommodate this, dongle versions of Cyber Commander would be released. Please note the dongles do cost a bit extra, but we would buy them in lots to get the best price.

All existing customers would get a special offer (only for existing customers before the dongle version is offered) and they would have both activation-key and dongle versions of Cyber Commander.

This is the plan, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks,
Johnny.

The way you just explained it makes a lot of sense. If I had had the dongle activation key - I could have been up and running again quicker when the old computer went down.

On the other hand - I only have the one computer. So unless, in the future, I can afford another computer, like a small laptop/notebook type, it would not benefit me a great deal. But if it became available I would probably get one, if it's not too expensive, for future use.

In many respects - the dongle idea seems like a good solution to your security needs, and to the needs of a musician with a computer in his studio and a small computer to take with him.

For me, it's all about price right now. With business being down, there's very little spendable income. And what little there is seems to be shrinking every day. But I'm sure you know how that is too - like almost everyone else in the world. I'm hoping things get better real soon.

I hope some others will jump in here and add to this. thouston usually has some good thoughts. Maybe he will see this and post his views.

For users wanting total independence, the dongle would be the way to go. For now, I would appreciate feedback. If there is no demand, we would not pursue it. If there is a strong demand, then we would dongelize. I emphasize this is exploratory only, we need feedback from you!

ciao,
johnny.

Hi Johnny

Cyber Commander SE is an Awesome Program it unlocks the true potential of the Fender Cyber Twin SE... As for new features to Cyber Commander the only thing is maybe on the preset drop down box the preset could stay high lighted so you wouldn't have to scroll up and down to find your place. I have my presets in category's.... My blues presets are all together so when I bring up the box it would have the preset highlighted and you could just move to the next one...

I really like... say you've highlighted blackface tube 1 to move from one drive circuit to another without putting down your Guitar pick and grabbing the mouse... you just hit the up or down arrow and then hit the space bar to toggle between the different drive circuits... with your Keyboard... I haven't found out yet how to hold a pick and use a mouse at the same time... but I sure can do it with the Keyboard... I see that works everywhere but on the Effects menu and the reverb type...

I've had my Cyber Twin SE for 4 years now and the more I understand it the more I like it... It sits right beside my 65 Twin Reverb and the only difference in sound is the speakers... Jensens vs Celestions.... I now run my Cyber Twin through 2 Marshall 4x12 speaker cabs that are on opposite sides of my studio for that incredible Stereo Sound.... Before I got the Cyber Commander SE software I had the amp sitting right beside me so I could tweak it... Now it's off in it's own little spot and the only time I mess with it is to turn it on or off.... Everything is operated with Cyber Commander now... incredible...

Just thought I would throw in my 2 cents worth....

Thanks...Jake Johnson

JakeJ,

Thank you for your feedback, you have made my week.

We'll check into why the arrow keys didn't work in the effects and reverb type.

Thanks for suggestion for the drop down window too!

Kindest Regards,
John.

Has any one noticed how easy it is to adjust the tone of any preset with the Treble... Middle...Bass knobs of your Cyber Twin with Cyber Commander buy using the Cyber Foot Controller and the Continuous Controller pedal and just assigning a knob to the pedel and then tweeking the sound...Then moving to the next knob and the next one all done with the pedal.... Never have to take your hands off the guitar....I just reach over hit the down arrow and never miss a beat and I'm tweaking another knob...

How cool is that.....Jakej
