Rockbound will recognize it as a GHWT kit so it will not support Pro-Drum mode BUT you can still set up your cymbals to trigger the correct color similar to what a lot of people did in rock band 2. So now I can connect it to my Roland Kit and use the following MIDI settings to match the GHWT drums. Then moved the midi port to inside the casing. Here is a workaround someone posted by using a Guitar Hero: World Tour drum brain and connected an e-kit to it and matched the MIDI settingsīasically I removed a working brain off a broken GHWT drum set.

It’s due to security at the console level and how it recognizes and handles peripherals. That’s great! Fortunately, the PS4 can detect and work with wired USB peripherals.Ĭhester: The Xbox One simply doesn’t recognize wired USB controllers or instruments. Was this intentional or just a happy coincidence from how last-gen instruments work on the console?Ĭhester: The tech just happens to work. We need to launch the core game first and make sure that’s rock solid before thinking about these other things.įrom what I’ve seen on the Rock Band sub-Reddit, the Midi Pro Adapter actually works on the PS4 (a Twitch streamer apparently plugged his in and full combo’d “I Bet My Life” with it). He did confirm that the lack of wired instrument compatibility on the Xbox One was a hardware issue in Microsoft’s handsĪs for other things that you’ve probably heard a million times with varying levels of calmness, what about electric drums and ION Rockers? Official word so far has been “not at launch,” but is there any news? Any chance Mad Catz has anything in the works in this area?Ĭhester: No changes here in what we’ve said in the past. That’s great! Fortunately, the PS4 can detect and work with wired USB peripherals.” I asked two questions about the ION Rocker drums and the MIDI Pro Adapter and Chester’s response to the first was the expected “not at launch” we’ve been hearing, but when I pointed out that the MIDI adapter works on the PS4, he said “The tech just happens to work.

This is stating how there is no official support for ION Rocker drums and the MIDI Pro Adapter. Snippets from PR and Communications Lead, Nick Chester: Is there an adapter or accessory I can use to connect my e-kit to my Xbox One? This kit has both USB and MIDI out so I should have some flexibility in connecting to some kind of adapter. I have the e-kit I am going to use from this question.

To go into some more detail, I am trying to use an electronic drum set as a drum controller for Rock Band 4 on Xbox One.
