    Will ION drums work with XBOX one? From the looks of it, me thinks not.

    http://www.madcatz.com

    Question: What about other instrument controllers like Mad Catz’ Pro Drum Kit, Keyboards or real MIDI Drums & Keyboards?

    Answer: Mad Catz’ Rock Band 3 wireless Pro Drums and Cymbals work great on Rock Band 4. However, Keyboards are not supported in Rock Band 4. Wired instrument controllers using the MIDI Box or the Fender™ Mustang™ Guitar for Rock Band 3 are also not supported.

      Yes, this has been known for at least a month now?

        First image I have seen of the legacy instrument adapter. That thing seems huge! Looks like it will just plug into a USB port on the XBone. Speaking of which I’ve now used up all the USB ports on my XBox One with this adapter, an external hard drive, and a charge cable I use for a wireless controller without batteries to make it wired and lighter. I assume Microsoft will release a slim version of the XBone at some point with more ports.

        EDIT: I also just forgot all 3 of my mics are wired! Crap! There is only 3 ports on the XBone so I will technically never be able to have harmonies AND wireless instruments because of the legacy adapter. Man, that sucks…

          That’s a good price too. $20 on top of the game price? Hmmm. I hope they do sell them separately too. I might need one for proper full band playback. Not to mention I prefer my GH guitars.

            There is such a thing as a USB hub. <img decoding=” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_wink.gif”>

            This is true, but is yet another $10 I have to spend to get RB4 (- keys and pro guitar) onto my XBone when no other game will utilize this USB hub. I guess I could use it for my computer or something….

              The official compatibility list on the HMX forum didn’t seem to confirm Ion drum rocker support when I just chanced upon it now. Is support for it specifically declared someplace?

                There is no support for any ekit of any sort.

                  I think he asks because the OP asked about Ion/e-kit support and you posted a link to the legacy adapter. I was also thrown off by that, as it doesn’t seem appropriate to this thread. But whatever :haw:

                    I apologize for posting a link to the legacy game controller adapter in the Legacy Game Controller Adapter thread.

                        Still no reason for me to get RB4 then. I’m not keen on buying another one of MadCatz’ terrible drum kits.

                        Yeah, if only Mad Catz were going to a lot of effort to improve the design of the instruments for the new game. Tch, eh?

                          Well, they did. But they can’t improve the quality to that of a $300 drumset, and include it with everything else in the bundle for $250, can they? So you’d need another Ion set as I’m sure regular users wouldn’t want to pay $600 for a band kit that included drums up the quality you seem to want. The best solution is an adapter or Ion to get their shit together and make it compatible. I really think the heat should be on them, not Madcatz or HMX.
