I will try this again. My question is, I have the Progression Program with IK Amplitude and wondering if the USB computer connection will also act as a MIDI interface from the Mustang
serice amps with the Progression Program.
Also wondering what else the interface will do as well. Just trying a faster way to put notes on paper.

Not really sure what you're trying to do but I think the Mustangs' USB implementation is fairly limited. The amps themselves don't have MIDI in/out connectors so it is likely that MIDI doesn't even enter the picture. Your last sentence leads me to think that you are hoping to use the Mustang as a guitar to midi converter. If so, it's not going to happen. There's no indication whatsoever that the Mustangs' USB connection is capable of anything other than a way for the Fuse software to access the amp's parameters. The addition of Pitch to MIDI conversion capabilities would make these amps a LOT more expensive. Besides, the guitars would have to be equipped with a hex pickup and the amps would have to have something like Roland's 13 pin connector for that hex pickup to connect to. That is unless you only want to input single note lines and never play any chords when using MIDI. Some devices like the Roland's VR guitar synths have regular 1/4" inputs that do convert the guitar signal to midi but it's completely monophonic - no chords are recognized. But as I said, that would make these amps a lot more expensive.
