Unfortunately it's not that easy.

The game was not designed to allow plug and play input from any MIDI Guitar and or Guitar with a MIDI pickup so that DIY solution is required.

I can confirm. That 3 of the major keyboards work

Motif XS (my personal favorite, always fun to be playing the same thing i see on screen)
Korg M3
And
Korg M50

All work perfectly

Also,with some further testing.

Roland Phantom G seems to work. along with the
Yamaha Tyros 3

Family of musicians :p its awesome

Korg Kontrol49 keyboard works

The new Roland HD-3 drum kit definitely works. It has a built in lefty switch so you don't have to rewire the whole kit and changeable MIDI output if you want an extra challenge with open/close hihat notes. I play on a lefty setup and changing the MIDI output is definitely required. Also I'm not getting that weird problem with the snare/cymbal crash combo that some people have complained about.

Sorry if this has been asked, but is the Alesis Pro USB kit compatible with RB3 and does it require the Madcatz MIDI adapter?

Thanks much!

Just wondering if someone could please tell me if these drums (ashton rhythm uvx) be compatible with rockband with the midi pro adapter. I think they would be as it seems you can adjust the notes but would like to check before buying as i know nothing about drums. Also i rang up a dick smith store to find out if they stocked midi cable and they said if its a 32 they have it not a 64, whatever that means. Does the midi pro use the 32 Thanks in advance.

They were probably referring to a USB MIDI converter cable that works with 32-bit and 64-bit computer operating systems. But that's not what you need. You need a standard 5-pin MIDI cable, like this:

As for the UVX drum kit, the manual does have instructions for setting each trigger's MIDI Note, so yes, it will work with the MIDI Pro.
