play orange note in gh:wt with rb2 drums

[ironman2188]

i got the madcatz cymbals for my rb2 drums

Is there a question or something in there?

[whypick1]

Assuming the question is "if I have the add-on cymbals can I play the 5-note charts in GH:WT?", the answer is no, because GH:WT will still detect a RB drumkit and chop the charts down to 4 notes.

Other than your's? and now mine?

[ironman2188]

yes
i was messing around in the music studio mode in gh:wt and i hit the red pad and the yellow cymbal at the same time. the game jumped back to the instrument slection screen. i picked drums again and there was 5 notes instead of 4. i tried to figure out how to play that orange note. i tried one of the cymbal in the black port and got nothing. next i tried the footpetal in the black port and i could play the orange note. so i got my rb1 footpetal and tried it and got the same result. i havent tried this in other modes yet to see if it stays the same or reverts back to 4 notes

works in all modes

I'm more confused now.

Are you saying you got the RB2 drums to play as a GH:WT set in GH:WT?

I'd be very interested in how you did this but I'm having a hard time following what you said above.

[ironman2188]

i will try explain easier

first have rb2 drums set up with madcatz cymbals
plug rb1 footpetal into black port on rb2 drums
next go into music sudio mode in gh:wt. in that mode when play notes hit the red pad and yellow cymbal together. this will cause the game to go back to the screen where u pick an instrument
from this point u just pick drums again and it will have 5 notes (red,yellow,blue,orange,green)
at this point to play the orange note hit the footpetal u plugged into the black port of the drums
so the red pad plays red, yellow pad/cymbal plays yellow note, blue pad/cymbal plays blue note, green pad/cymbal plays green note, rb1 footpetal in black expansion port plays orange note and footpetal play petal notes.
to use star power hit yellow pad/cymbal and rb1 petal in black port at same time
(yellow + orange notes = star power activation)
i have ps3 rb2 drums, not sure if it will work for other drums

[ironman2188]

u have to repeat the prosess above every time u go to play gh:wt meaning when u quit the game put different a game in and then put gh:wt back in u have to repeat the prosess above (which isnt that big of a deal)

[JohnTheDrummer]

Why don't you just try to plug one of the Mad Catz cymbals into the black port and make it easier?

[Starfleet_Rambo]

Hmm.

I may try this next time I play GH:WT.

[ironman2188]

the cymbals dont work in black port
