The adapter apparently sucks. It won't register quick hits sometimes, which pretty much defeats the purpose.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread

Another Tenacious D tune and still no Wonderboy or Tribute? At least they are on the right album now. Miss Murder was in my top 5 in GHIII, I'll probably double dip on it.

Here's all but Black Tide as a refresher:

Does the extra kick pedal work with the Ion kit? I don't know why it wouldn't, but...

This is what I've heard... but goddammit, that's really it's only purpose. How badly could it really fail at its only purpose?

Maybe I'm just being too much of an optimist.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread

Is that the fault of the adapter or the software or drum kit?

I mean, if you're going so fast that you might still have the first pedal depressed, it might be interpreting the signals as one. In fact, it might be the software is designed to overlook quick double-hits as an actual error. They might have to release a patch to ease that up or allow you to specify if you have more than one pedal.

I doubt it's the adapter that's blocking signals.

Look...they went through so much bullshit just to rock your fuckin' socks off!

That Audioslave song is my fave off that album, so I'm good to go with that. ABC, Would, Miss Murder, Freeze Pop.....quite a handful for me on that list.

It's the adapter. The TwinRocker works perfectly fine from what I have read.

I'm pretty sure what the adapter does is change the constant "on" signal (when the pedal is down) to simply "pulse" when it goes from "off" to "on". So you can't press down a pedal to get the sort options to come up when browsing tracks.

So now that I have the second Rock Band pedal, I'd have to get the Twin Rocker adapter to make it work? Geez.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread

I can sort of see the logic in Harmonix's decision, though. It sort of saves you from yourself.

On the Twin Rocker, if you hold down pedal A, it doesn't register pedal B at all, does it?

HMX is saying that the sound is made as you strike and therefore that's when the signal should be sent. It is unfortunate that the adapter can't seem to keep up.

AFI, Alice in Chains, Freezepop, and Jackson 5 I totally want, and depending on how it sounds I might be in for Black Tide as well. Tenacious D can suck it since Jack Black is extremely lame and I hate him.

I'm up for RB2 on PS3 as well. Tag in my sig.

I'm good for hard/expert on most bass and guitar tunes. Haven't done much vocals or drums, but could probably do medium vocals and maybe hard without much problem.

I have a lot of DLC - mostly towards the metal side, but I do have the complete albums for Ten and Moving Pictures.

Now you're just doing it on purpose to get in signatures.

I really can't stand the guy. He tries way too hard and if Chris Farley hadn't died he'd have no bit.

He doesn't try too hard. He understands he's a character. You won't, but you should watch the documentary that came out on The Complete Masterworks Vol 2 to see the human side of him.

Nice. We're trying to get the PS3 clan together again.

I'm a Hard/Expert drummer. Crap at singing. Hard Guitar/Bass.

If we have a set night to sign on, we may be likely to get the PS3 band going. Tuesday's Warhawk night. So that's out.

Say what you will about his acting abilities, but it's hard to deny he has one hell of a singing voice.

Currently Tuesday's and Wednesday's are no good for me (stupid night school).
Flexible on the rest.

Great news on the Freezepop song, I love the guitar charts on that one.

I do enjoy singing Master Exploder even if I'm not a fan of the lyrical content (or the guitar/drum charts for that matter).

Hopefully Freezepop is followed by some more awesome stuff from GH2's bonus songs list.
