Rock Band 3 MIDI PRO-Adapter for Xbox 360

Rock Band 3 is the next generation of the ultimate social and interactive music gaming platform developed by the category's leading pioneers, Harmonix Music Systems. Featuring innovative game modes and instruments, Rock Band 3 will change the way fans think about and play music games.

 

Midi Connection

Play Rock Band 3 Pro mode using most MIDI-compatible Keyboard and Drums and the Squier by Fender Stratocaster Guitar and Controller

 

The Rock Band 3 MIDI PRO-Adapter provides a link between traditional MIDI instruments and videogame consoles. Seamless connectivity with MIDI-compatible Drums, Guitars and Keyboards is now possible. With a versatile clip for use on a tabletop, or attaching to an instrument or waistband, the place-anywhere design promotes total freedom of movement. An Overdrive activation button coupled with full-featured action buttons and D-Pad for in-game navigation all deliver the perfect blend of videogame and real-world rocking.

The MIDI PRO-Adapater enables the use of real MIDI instuments for traditional Rock Band representational mode or pitch-accurate Rock Band Pro mode, which lets players experience the challenge and reward of playing along with real notes until they've mastered them on expert!

 

Midi Connection

Easily connects MIDI Drums and Keyboards that follow the general MIDI spec, allowing you to play them with Rock Band 3 on the Xbox 360 console. (MIDI Cable sold separately.)

Velocity Adjustment Wheel

Velocity adjustment wheel for fine-tuning sensitivity helps to eliminate crosstalk by adjusting the translation of hit detection on drum pads.

3-Way switch enables the MIDI PRO-Adapter to identify drum, keyboard and guitar modes (D K G).

 

Action Buttons and D-Pad

The MIDI PRO-Adapter features action buttons and a D-Pad for in-game and console navigation functions. The addition of a large Overdrive button makes initiating the Overdrive feature quick and easy.

MIDI-Indicater Lights

MIDI signals are shown via the MIDI indicator LED. The MIDI PRO-Adapter will read all general MIDI 1.0-compliant signals for channel 1 and channel 10 as default keys and drums. The MIDI PRO-Adapter will read channels 1-6 for MIDI guitars.

The MIDI PRO-Adapter features a versatile, removable clip to be used for the following play styles:

1. Attached to an instrument 2. Clipped to a belt or waistband 3. Laid flat on the Adapter's soft, non-abrasive rubber feet for use on a tabletop

Fun:   
As a drummer I've been waiting for this product since Rock Band was first released a couple of years ago. I have a Roland HD-1 kit and the opportunity to use it to play the game was an intriguing prospect. On the whole the product is good, but there are a few minor niggles;

Pros:
* Use your existing eDrum kits on Rock Band.
* Plug and play connection very little to do in the way of setup.
* Works very well and global sensitivity can be tweaked on the fly using the adjustment wheel.

Cons:
* Can be tricky to get sensitivity right. You'll have to change settings on your kit to avoid double hits.
* No mounting point to fix it onto drum kit. All it has is a belt clip.
* Expensive. Really, almost £40 for a 3rd-party non wireless peripheral controller is too much.
* No MIDI cable is included. You'll have to source one from somewhere else.
* Some notes are incorrectly assigned in Rock Band, and the open hi-hat is always blue (i.e. Ride/Bell cymbal), though that is more a fault with the software than the MIDI-Pro adapter.

Most of the niggles are minor and can be overcome with a little tweaking here and there, and it does improve the Rock Band experience hugely.

Amazing 24 May 2012

Fun:   
I was expecting for maybe a minor error along the lines but the Product is flawlessly amazing. I use the Alesis DM5 Drum Kit and it was easy to set it up with Rock Band 3. I also tried using a Piano and that works flawlessly with it too. Overall an amazing Product and highly recommend it if you're wanting to do Pro Keys, Pro Drums and/or Pro Guitar. :)

Works as advertised 21 Feb 2011
By shoebiedoo - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase
Fun:   
Pros:
Work seamlessly with the Roland TD9-SX. I was able to customize the Midi assignments (via the Roland) to use multiple cymbals. Much better trigger response that the ION drum rocker!

I Highly recommend it!

Cons (all minor):
No "chat" headset connection. no wireless connection, doesn't come with a Midi cable and the instruction were fairly vague.

Painless 24 Feb 2011
By Nic3k - Published on Amazon.com

Fun:   
As many have noted, it took forever for this to be released; but now it's here. Have used it with a Yamaha electric piano, and it just works. There are almost no instructions, but all you do is plug the USB cable into your XBox (or USB hub, of course), and plug a MIDI cable from your instrument to the adapter.

This has actually gotten me to start learning keyboards after many years of procrastination.

Note that the adapter does not include a MIDI cable -- so be sure you have one.

Great Product 28 Feb 2011
By nba411 - Published on Amazon.com
Fun:   
This works exactly like it's supposed to and is easy to connect. The bad news is that it is hard to find. If you have a midi compatible keyboard or guitar and really enjoy rockband then get it if you can find it.
