Keyboard in Rock Band 3


Recommended Posts

This is actually quite good, there's no real way for them to set it up other than using the actual note positions of a piano. Unlike the guitar where they simulate one string with a grand total of 5 frets. No idea how they'll set up four difficulties, there's only really one way to play a song without it being noticably wrong.

 

At least this will be more musically educational.

"The next installment in the Rock Band series will offer a “Pro” mode that enables the use of stringed guitars, cymbal attachments for the drums and a proper (though miniature) keyboard."

Fuck Yeah!

But how do I plug my guitar into my Wii?

And why is everyone going on about Newborn, you'd just play the intro and then sit there for 5 minutes. I predict, if any Muse songs, we'll get USOE, because that could utilise all the controllers.

There's like 20 seconds of guitar in USoE in total..

 

I could see that as part of the piano side of World Tour mode though especially with Collateral Damage.

Keyboard songs that would work well in RB3 (I put this together very fast):

Stockholm Syndrome (Piano during the chorus)

Sunburn

Butterflies and Hurricanes (Playing the piano solo would be the coolest thing ever(and VERY difficult)).

Citizen Erased

Cave ("Come in my CAAAAAAAAVEEE...")

Bliss

Space Dementia

New Born

Resistance

Undisclosed Desires (Keytar anyone?)

Time is Running Out (Minimal piano, but it still has it)

Starlight (Piano could get too repetitive though)

Apocalypse Please (Maybe?)

In Your World (Intro)

Butterflies and Hurricanes could definitely work for keys as it's throughout the whole song. The solo however isn't as difficult as people think it is. It just sounds really complicated ;)

Keytar :rolleyes: undisclosed desires anyone?

 

Wait, it has a MIDI socket! Perhaps I could connect my Keyboard to the game and see if it'll work 'cause it has one too? Or, anyone lucky enough to own a MB-1 with kaoss pad could try too... :awesome:

I heard they made it so that the instruments will work outside of the game for personal use. :awesome:

 

Personally I think Cave would work really well for this. :)

You can, they're releasing a MIDI box you can plug your own drums / keyboards into. :p
