RockBand Drums + Ableton

Post by Quantum Quasar » Sun Jul 27, 2014 2:24 pm

Hello, I am Quantum Quasar.

I need to know how I can connect my RockBand drums to Ableton Live 9 (Lite).
I have plugged it in but there is no MIDI response.

Please help,
Quantum Quasar. :arrow: :|

I did this a couple of years ago (on Windows XP PC) using "JoyToKey" utility to change gamepad (RockBand drums) buttons to qwerty keyboard output, which then provided the qwerty keyboard input to Live in place of midi (triggered drums in Impulse). Need to launch JoyToKeys each time you boot computer.
