  • Anybody ever hacked their Rockband drum kit?

    With our older son having moved back home and into the basement during a bout of unemployment, I hadn't ventured much downstairs (closed doors, "girlfriend visits" and all that). But I had to go into the furnace/storage room this weekend, and spied my younger son's Rockband drumkit sitting there gathering dust. I quick google search, and it appears that all the hacking of this thing I might have suspected was going, was truly going on.

    Anybody here successfully modded their (or someone else's) Rockband drumkit to turn it into a usable source of percussions MIDI triggers (or simple analog triggers)?

    If so, any recommended electronic advice? any lessons learned?

      the controller has midi io, and i'm looking for the right midi keyboard to do the usb midi conversion without plunking down 40 bucks on a dedicated usb/midi converter (some of the midi keyboards go down to 50-60$.)
      when i get mine up, ill post a how to.
