Roll Limitless PS4 Adapter! ~ Play Rock Band 4 With Your Electronic Drumset!

**Step 1:** Set both the audio and video delay at 0/0. **Step 2:** First we're going to find and calibrate the hitbox. The "hitbox" is the range at which the game will allow you to hit the note. We want to make it where you will still get the note if you hit slightly early or late. First, completely mute your TV. Then play a song and choose easy difficulty. Purposely hit the notes too early and too late and try to find where the hitbox is. If you can hit the notes early but not late, ADD numbers to both the audio and visual delay. Make sure to add the same amount to both (example: from 0/0 to 20/20). If you can hit the notes late but not early, SUBTRACT numbers instead (example: from 0/0 to -20/-20). Keep testing this until you've set it where you can hit the notes both early and late. You have now correctly set the video delay, do **NOT** adjust that any more. **Step 3:** Now we're going to make sure the audio and video line up. Turn the sound back on and choose a song. Choose any difficulty you want, but don't choose expert on a hard song. Try to listen to the audio and play the song along with the audio, not with the video. If you are hitting the notes too late, ADD to the audio delay. If you are hitting the notes too early, SUBTRACT from the audio delay. Remember, do NOT touch the video delay number. Keep testing this until you have lined up the audio perfectly with the video. This takes time and a lot of running back and forth from quickplay to the options, but it will be so worth it in the end.

All I can say about it is it makes a huge difference and you begin to improve massively from a potential plateau caused by something out of your control

Thank you so much.

I'm looking at the Alesis Nitro Mesh. Is that the one you're referring to? Aside from the Alesis drum kit and this Roll Limitless component, is there anything else you need to connect to let's say my PS4? Just wanna make sure I don't need to get anything else before I pull the trigger on this expensive purchase.

@@r.e.l.pestanas I didn't have to buy anthing else, but I did get the actual rockband midi interface that was for rockband 3, if you go with the roll limitless you will need the midi cable to plug from the roll limetless to the drums and you will need to micro usb cables one plugs into the playstation then into the roll limitless then the other one plugs from the roll limitless into the playstation controller

You ever figure out what that second button is for? I'm currently trying to figure this thing out.

​@claybures3797 I messaged the guy who makes the adapter on Discord after receiving mine, and he told me the second button was for updating the firmware. For any future viewers of this video, I'm on the roll limitless website and can't find the information anywhere, but after being in game you can hold L1 and press UP/DOWN on the dpad to change the sensitivity. The light bar on your controller will turn red for lowering and blue for raising sensitivity. The creator recommends having the adapter at the lowest and fine tuning the sensitivity on your e-kit since the adapter affects the whole kit whereas your e-kit can change individual pads. Just FYI, I messaged the guy in September of 2021 (luckily I still have the messsges) so hopefully he hasn't changed too much and what I've said still applies.

Glad I could help

yeah i'd mess around with the threshold on the pads/cymbals giving you trouble

this adapter is for connecting electronic drumkits to your game console to play Rock Band with them. It sounds like you just have regular Rock Band drums. I'm not aware of any adapters that let you use regular 360 drums with PS3, which is what I think you're asking about. If I learn about any, I'll let you know!

You need a midi cable for this adapter, I’m sorry

the adapter requires a MIDI connection, unfortunately. However, you can play Clone Hero Pro Drums on PC with just a USB-B cable

You can play non-pro drums as well with the e-kit

You can try the midi to usb and see if it works, and if not, you’ll probably have to buy the RL

It has to go into a midi out, otherwise there won’t be drum inputs going to the game :(

@@Derpferdler I'm going to write you on IG and send you what I got and you can let me know what you think of my solution.

No idea lol. Maybe try the Rock Band subreddit, someone there might know how to help

Glad you liked it!

from the looks of it, the turbo kit also has MIDI connection so yes this adapter would work!

Have you tried it? I have the same question

Probably not. I would give it a shot to see if it works. You're probably going to need the roll limitless because you need a controller to spoof the drum connection to the console.

I figured out how to enable 'drum naviation', so i can play now. However, crash 1 and crash 2 are reversed to what the game expects. Is there a way to re-map the pads for the game?

I’m having the same problem. Can’t seem to switch from vocals to drums. What was your solution?

I have no idea lol, here’s the discord server for Roll Limitless if you have any questions discord.gg/8EgAREyhQQ

Thanks for the help on this matey 👍

no, your drumset needs a MIDI out port

No problem 👍

I can’t wait to get this great piece of equipment.

This is going to breathe new life into rock band, and all the money that I invested into that game along with upping my drumming skills .

I didn’t know the wait time would be so long though. 3 months there saying.

are you talking about with the adapter? If that’s the case you may need to manually adjust the threshold at which the note is activated. With midi each drum has a velocity which represents how hard you hit it. The velocity threshold filters out unwanted random movement to prevent extra hits, but your kit may have a low velocity value for the snare. Check the website you may need to buy a bluetooth adapter but I know you can change that threshold somehow

Just make it low enough that every snare hit registers but it doesn’t hit extra notes on accident

if it has a midi port, yes

i use it for ps4 so i have no idea lol

@@Derpferdler That's fair. Hopefully someone else might see my comment and can confirm for me either way. Don't really want to spend $100 on something that might not even hep with the issue I'm having.

Go to the discord server and ask him where your order is. All you need to tell him is your order number discord.gg/ggwabC9c

I ordered mine in December 2021, it just arrived today! I periodically emailed bookrreader with my order number as the subject, always got a prompt response.

Not sure how a drum adapter would help with your guitars

Did you find a solution to this?

i've figured out the height issue since this video

i think it's just meant for PS4 RB4

The creator of the rolling limitless has a discord you can ask questions in , hes very responsive and gives shipment updates on orders too! I’ll try to edit and place it here once I get back home

You’ll need a separate midi cable too, not just the adapter

Not with this adapter

Link is in the description

@@Derpferdler hi is the adaptor only purchased from the US 🇺🇸

Roll Limitless rolllimitless.com/roll-limitless/

not sure about older games but I've been told it works on PS5 RB4 so you can have fun with that at least

@@Derpferdler Sweet!

if your drumset has a usb-B port like mine does, you can connect it to your pc and play CH with them that way

This adapter’s clearly for drums so not really lol

What do you use for your guitar then

@@luisgutierrez1076 i use a Wii GHWT guitar with the RetroCultMods adapter to use it on PC/PlayStation

This videos for playstation 4 purposes so I have no idea

Ok thank you

You need this adapter and a midi cable to play RB4 with your e-kit. The only alternative is the PS3 Midi Pro Adapter and that costs an arm and a leg on Amazon lol

@Derpferdler thank you. I ordered a roll limitless but it will take 2 to 2 months. So I start searching for an alternative. And yes indeed cost an arm and a leg

Would the ps3 midi adapter Would work to my ps4?

Yeah

adapter, you mean? It's linked in the description

No you have to plug the controller into the adapter to navigate menus so it’s already being used while drumming

@@Derpferdler I’m confused let me rephrase it a little bit can I use this to play with a DualShock or would I need a drum kit or guitar

@Rigothepigo you need an electronic drum kit for this adapter

i'm assuming it would? I don't have a PS5 to test

3:05*

actually yes. Recently, the guy who makes these adapters released a firmware update that allows you to use this adapter on Xbox One/Series as well! www.reddit.com/r/Rockband/comments/10pdmzs/xbox_one_instruments/

this is for PS4

With RB4 open and the drums on/plugged into the console, plug the cable into your ps4 controller, and you should see the drum menu pop up, indicating that it’s connected. Press Start on your controller and it should log you in on drums

@@Derpferdler I’ve been searching supposedly it doesn’t work on some ps4 controllers 😔

it's easy to pick up and move around, i can't keep it in my streaming room because it's so big but i have a spot in my bedroom for it lol

How do I calibrate because it doesn't work.

mine took 2 months

@@Derpferdler ok I’m hearing it’s getting worse like 4-8 months lol. You got it at the right time

oh wow lol i guess i did

@@ATrain-jt7um oh fuck I just ordered one now. What’s your order status??

@@Unaboner I found a way better solution that’s just as cheap and takes no longer than a week to get the parts. If you are interested let me know and I can link all of it

is your Wii drum set an e-kit?

@@Derpferdler it’s the Beatles one

this is for ps4 so i have no idea lol

with a new firmware update, yes! rolllimitless.com/roll-limitless/ rb4.app/#!/xboxHelp/RL

i go over everything you need in the video. your drums, a midi cable, this adapter, a ps4 with RB4, and a PS4 controller

@@Derpferdler what about PS5? I know already it works on PS5 but do I still need PS4 controller?

the Roll Limitless guitar adapter works on PS5 so I'll make an educated guess and assume this drum adapter also does? Don't quote me on that though, I don't even have a PS5 lol. Maybe someone on the Rock Band subreddit would know

yeah it's just one guy making all the adapters and he's super backed up :(

It’s for ps4 so no lol

I’ve heard that it does. I don’t have a ps5 to test but people have reported positive results

why wouldn't it lol

The title says ps4 so no

people have said that it does
