Fishman Aura - Manual (Page 7)

Introduction
Aura, the Internet and You
The Aura ships with sixteen factory-loaded Sound Images of
various guitar, microphone and pickup combinations. Of these
sixteen factory-loaded Sound Images, twelve can be replaced
with new Sound Images. Why would you want to start replacing
these before you’ve even unpacked the Aura?
Because each Sound Image in the Aura is specific to body size,
microphone model and pickup type, you may not find a factory
preset that is a perfect match for your instrument. If you have
internet access, you can download new Sound Images from our
Aura website and transfer them to Aura through its MIDI-In port.
We offer an ever-expanding library of new digital Sound Images,
available only at www.fishmanaura.com. Plus you can take
advantage of email access to Fishman’s legendary customer
support with tips, tricks and trouble-shooting for your Aura. If
you are already on the internet, come visit the Aura section of
our website. If not, we suggest you take the plunge and get
online. Then you can start taking advantage of the many valuable
online resources available for the Aura.
MIDI Requirements
To transfer Sound Image data from your computer to the Aura,
you’ll need a MIDI compatible cable.
If your computer has a 15-pin MIDI/Joystick port, then you’ll
need a compatible cable with a male 15-pin connector on one
end and a MIDI out connector at the other end. This cable
typically will have a second MIDI in and female 15-pin connector
that goes unused. We Recommend the Voyetra MIDI Cable
Pack.
If your computer has a USB port, you’ll need a USB to MIDI
adapter. This cable may have a second MIDI in connector that
goes unused. We recommend the cable that is sold with the
Voyetra Music Studio Kit.

downloading instructions.
More Sound Images are at available at
www.fishmanaura.com !
Although we include a representative group of instruments with
the Sound Images presently in your Aura, we understand that
you may want more than 16 to choose from. Especially when
you consider how many different kinds of acoustic guitars exist.
To address this desire, we are gathering new Sound Images on
a ongoing basis and offering them to you to download free from
our Aura Gallery at the above website. Once you’ve downloaded
your new Sound Images, you will be able to transfer them
directly to the Aura via its MIDI-In port.

Imagine having a personal Aura library with Sound Images

experience, we will be setting up an Aura Custom Shop where
we create new Sound Images for your personal instrument. Visit
