    It’s suggested to create a new configuration by clicking Add Configuration at the top right of the Pads window.
    This is so you can change configuration profiles in case you want to play games that don’t use instruments.

Mapping:

Some guitar controllers (most notably Guitar Hero controllers) misbehave and refuse to map sometimes. If you try mapping a button and get “U+”, click “Filter Noise” at the bottom left of the controller configuration window then try mapping.
