Works perfectly
By richinjapan
After waiting months for this product to be released, I finally received my order today. Of course I ripped the box open and tried it right away with my Roland TD-9 drum kit.... And it worked flawlessly. I 5-starred the first sing I tried on Expert Pro Drums... A song I know well enough to perform on stage. It's amazing to finally play the song in RB3, instead of playing the game. Now the fun is more about learning all of the more complex parts to my favorite songs. Could hardly be more happy with the adapter. The build quality is great, except that the PS logo on the PS button fell off immediately upon handling the unit itself, but it's easy to understand they just paste on the PS or Xbox logo depending on the unit. All the other buttons have great action, for what it's worth.Two minor points to be aware of:- You WILL need a MIDI cable to connect this adapter to your instrument of choice; one does not come bundled.- You may (probably will) want to change the MIDI value on your drums so that an open hi-hat triggers as a blue cymbal... If your drums support such a feature.

By Carlos Garcia
It works perfectly on a 8 yr old Casio Keyboard. Once I acquired a MIDI cable it took me longer to figure out the keys (10 seconds) than the setup.Don't FORGET to have a MIDI to MIDI cable!!!!As a long time ROCK BAND fan I am totally happy with the purchase.

Works pefectly but wish it had some additional features
By M. Kelley
I have been using my Roland TD-3 drumkit with the Rock Band games since Rock band 1. I was using an adapter designed by a guy named "Seth" over on the Rock Band forums. It was a crude little device but it was programmable, worked with both RB and Guitar Hero and was fully upgradeable everytime a new version of the game came out. Sadly, due to a lightning storm a week ago, my 3 year old adapter got fried. I was about to contact "Seth" and ask about getting a new one but I then saw the Midi Pro adpater as a gold box special on Amazon. The price was a lot less than what I paid 3 years ago for the custom adapter so I decided to give this a try first.I recieved the adapter and easily hooked it up to my drum kit. I already had a midi cable due to my other adapter so I was up and running within minutes. I did not have to calibrate anything or adjust any crossover settings. This thing just worked perfectly with my Rock Band 3 game. I was able to play like nothing had changed.The only downside to this adpater is that it is not programmable like my other custom one. I was able to switch modes on my old adapter to work with Guitar Heroes additional mapped lane but I can't see a way to change that here. I was also able to change various mapping on my old adapter and the also cannot be done with this one. I have not found a way to map an open hi-hat pedal yet with this Midi pro.But overall, I am very happy that I could get something this cheap to do 90% of what my much more expensive adapter did. I hate Guitar Hero anyway so I don;t think its a huge loss. I just wish that this adapter was available 3 years ago!
