Garrafon Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I'm wondering how the Rock Band keyboard will sound through the Neo Ventilator? Or will Rock Band be coming out with their own rotating gaming system - a true xBox 360?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RABid Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Are their actual keyboard parts or are we covering rhythm guitar and sax solos? Do we get extra points for playing with both hands?

I'll bet the keyboardist is off camera during the whole game anyway, and they still just show the stinking guitarist. What we record in life, echoes in eternity.

felix Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Hilarious responses - love it! But on a bit more serious note, I've had Rock Band 3 since Christmas, along with the 25-key keytar controller. I've had a blast, playing in Pro Keys mode exclusively, though I haven't dug into anything particularly difficult. Yes, you get to play real keyboard parts (Roundabout, anyone?) Parts are one-handed. Sometimes a part may jump up an octave and your hand stays put (no, you don't have to press any octave transpose button) I really wish you could view notation along with the game view Yes, they even show the keyboardist (more than in real life) You can choose your on-screen keyboard (from a selection of Yamaha, Korg, and Dave Smith Instruments models) Songs range from really easy (Whip It, Rock Lobster) to really hard (Saturday's Alright for Fighting, Roundabout) You can use it to play Keyboard parts in "non-Pro" mode - there are 5 keys in the center that are designated the 5 colors like the guitar fretboard buttons. It works for bass and other parts too (if you choose to stray) More and more Pro Keys content all the time, from Doors and Billy Joel to Depeche Mode and Nine Inch Nails I haven't tried to use any other controller (the RB3 controller transmits wirelessly to a bluetooth USB dongle), and I haven't tried to use the RB3 controller as a regular MIDI controller either. Hey, it gave me a chance to actually connect with my 14 year-old son (which isn't easy to do) - we rocked out some Linkin Park on the game last weekend. Oh, and now guitarists, drummers, and bass players are getting in on the Pro Mode thing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EscapeRocks Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 We often have serious RockBand 3 competitions in the green room before shows (at the venues that have green rooms ) It's a lot of fun. Thing is, we switch up, meaning we don't play an instrument we play in the band. Makes for entertaining stuff David Gig Rig:Roland Fantom 08 | Roland Jupiter 80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
