MiniHost – PC Games
Game Setup
Now that you’ve installed your MiniHost Adapter, we can setup games!
Please click on the game you’ll be playing in dropdown menu below:
Keyboard Mode
NOTE: EPIC HAS CHANGED A SETTING IN FORTNITE THAT HIDES PRO MODES NORMALLY. YOU WILL WANT TO ADJUST THIS TO ALWAYS HAVE PRO MODES SHOWING.
TO FIX THIS, GO TO Settings > GAME > scroll to bottom > change “Always Display Pro Parts” to ON.
Switch the mode on the adapter to K and then plug it in!
This section assumes that you have already calibrated your Whammy and Tilt. If you haven’t done that, please read the MiniHost Installation/Setup guide.
This will put your guitar into keyboard mode, where your inputs will be assigned to the default Fortnite Festival Pro Lead Keyboard settings:
- 1-5 for frets
- Right Ctrl & Right Shift for strum
- Forward Slash (/) for whammy
- Page Down for overdrive
Note that you will have to control your menus/character movement with keyboard & mouse/other controller, but once you load into the Festival game mode, the guitar will function as intended!
Have fun!
RB4 Guitar Mode
This section assumes that you have already calibrated your Whammy and Tilt. If you haven’t done that, please read the MiniHost Installation/Setup guide.
When plugging in your adapter in the D mode, press and hold the SELECT/-(minus) button. (pictured) This will put your guitar into RB4 Guitar mode, mimicking how a legacy Rock Band 4 controller would work on console.
This will let you control the Fortnite menus, but you will still need to control your character’s movement with keyboard & mouse/other controller.
Have fun!
