Play Rock Band 3 with your guitar, keyboard or drums

MadCatz, a developer of videogame peripherals announced a new toy compatible with Rock Band 3. It's the Pro MIDI Adapter, which allows the player to use MIDI instruments such as keyboards, drum kits, guitars and even to be acknowledged as the game controls.

The device, which will be released for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii also works with Rock Band 3 Squier Fender guitar designed exclusively for the game and its Pro mode - where you actually play the music note by note and with a real instrument.
 

The Pro MIDI Adapter must be plugged into the USB port of the console and serves as an interface between the video game and MIDI instrument, converting the messages in this format for data recognized by the game. The device has a button that lets you adjust the sensitivity of the drums in MIDI to prevent the famed cross-talk during the game.

There is also a digital directional buttons and patterns of traditional controls of the consoles, allowing complete integration with the game and a glide through the menus of the game. MIDI Adapter Pro also comes with a removable clip, allowing the player to hold the device in the belt. The device is expected to hit stores later in December at a suggested price of $ 29.99.
