The MIDI Rocker is a complete solution for using an electronic drum set such as Roland V-Drums (TD-3, TD-6 etc.), Yamaha DTXpress, or any instrument with a MIDI output in Rock Band™, Rock Band 2™, or Guitar Hero® World Tour© Playstation® 2, and PlayStation® 3, and Wii. See the Compatibility Table for details.

• Plug in any musical instrument which has MIDI output (such as a drum set, guitar, or keyboard) and then use that instrument to "play" the drums in Rock Band or Guitar Hero World Tour. Quickly and easily map mulitple MIDI notes to any "drum button".
• Fast and simple setup. Just press the button you want to program, and then hit the drum pad you want to assign to that button. (You can assign up to 10 notes to any one button).
• Use the Windows GUI software to quickly view, edit, and save and recall setups. [Screenshot]
• Use it by itself ("Stand-alone Mode") to play the drums in Rock Band.. There are five push-buttons (Red, Yellow, Blue, Green and Orange) on the top of the box which act just like the drum pads and foot pedal. Great for people with limited mobility, or for places where you don't have room for the full drum set..
• Connect the external outputs to your own device, or another game controller (such as an Xbox 360 controller).

• Stand-alone PlayStation® 2/3 or Wii game controller with navigation "joystick", Start, Select, Back and Home button. Everything you need to control your PS3 or Wii, navigate menus and play drums in Rock Band. Plugs into a USB port on the PS2/3 or Wii using the supplied cable.
• Emulates the Rock Band 2 drums (on Playstation and Wii) or Guitar Hero drums (on Playstation only). Including cymbals and velocity sensing.
• Adjustable MIDI note velocity threshold setting (so light taps or crosstalk can be ignored).
• Multiple MIDI notes can be mapped to each key. So can assign several MIDI notes to each drum note color.
• Includes a Windows GUI program to easily view and edit setups, program advanced options, save and recall settings, and even examine the MIDI data in real-time. (Use of GUI is optional -- the MIDI Rocker can be completely programmed using the front panel controls).
• Color-coded LED indicators to show when a note is activated.
• External Inputs and Outputs - can be wired to other devices (see Application note #1 for information on using with an Xbox 360 controller).
• All settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are "remembered" between sessions.
• Field-programmable flash memory for firmware upgrades to add new features and compatibility with new games and devices. (A Windows PC is required to install firmware updates).
• FREE firmware updates. Custom programming also available.
