The j5 Midi Pro input/output interface provides a digital midi out signal from your ion drums or any electronic drum set. It is specifically designed for use with the rockband 3 midi pro midi adaptor or the guitar heros drums midi input to seamlessly connect your ion / electronic drum setup to the game.

9 Analog drum inputs are provided with individual threshold adjustment. Rockband / Ion pedal inputs are available as an add on option for single or double bass pedal action.

In the traditional of all rockbandkickbox products, the j5 midi pro is plug and play and requires no programming. To switch between guitar heros and rockband, simply plug the midi cable to your gh module or rb3 midi pro adaptor and press the mode switch.

Modes of operation:

1 - Rockband2/3 with internal j5 hh function (Yellow hh closed - Blue hh open) See hh notes below.
2 - RockBand3 with hh function when Pro Mode HH pedal is enabled in game.
3 - Rockband 2/3 Yellow - blue HH function
4 - Guitar Heros

The additional drum brain option adds a second row of ports for patching in a drum brain as well as a hh pedal control input. This option is not normally needed unless you plan to fully integrate an external drum brain.

Rockband3 midi adaptor or Guitar heros drum module required. Not Included.

HH Notes:

Push button toggles between 2 hh options.

The internal j5 hh function changes the yellow hh cymbal (pedal down) to the blue cymbal (pedal up)

The RockBand Pro mode hh pedal option always plays yellow cymbal, but changes the sound to an open hh similar to the blue cymbal when the pedal is up. You would only notice this in freestyle mode.
