rb3-wireless-keytar-midi

Use your RockBand 3 wireless keyboards as Mac OS X MIDI devices.

The goal is to support the same functionality of the keytar's MIDI mode using only the USB dongle. rb3-wireless-keytar-midi is already almost feature complete, see Issues for missing features and potential improvements.

Supported:

  • Correctly handle Velocity for up to 5 keys being pressed at the same time
  • Program and octave change
  • Program and octave reset
  • Song start, stop, continue
  • Panic (all note off) key combination
  • Stomp and expression pedals
  • Pedal mode selection

Still unsupported:

  • LEDs
  • Velocity data when more than 5 keys are pressed at the same time

Compared to Keytar-MIDI-Connector, rb3-wireless-keytar-midi has lower USB->MIDI latency, reproduces almost all features of MIDI mode, correctly handles velocity information and should support connecting multiple keytars (untested).
