I recommend buying the $15 Legacy adapter and buy used Xbox 360 instruments separately. That should be cheaper than buying the Rock Band 4 bundle.

  • Far Cry 1
  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer + Chaos Bleeds
  • LEGO Harry Potter
  • Wolfenstein (2009)
  • The Simpsons Game + Hit & Run
  • Guitar Hero & Rock Band (I know they say it's impossible but I think it's bullshit considering there are adapters out already. I think one of the reasons those games are not as popular now is because people don't want to spend $$$ on instruments when they already have them)
  • Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2 (I know they were only on PS2 but it would be nice since the new one is coming out soon and it's getting an Xbox version)
  • Tomb Raider: Legend & Anniversary
  • Saints Row 1 & 2
  • F.E.A.R.
  • Ultimate Spider-Man

Actually, the WT kit should work with RB4 if you have the MadCatz legacy adapter. (https://www.amazon.com/Rock-Band-Legacy-Game-Controller-Adapter/dp/B01541ACLQ)

u/TerminalSarcasm · 7 pointsr/Rockband

Check with u/Mrodd64, who just had a similar issue... as did I.

TL;DR Don't waste your time and money starting over on PS4, buy an X1, 360 guitar, and wireless adapter and be done.

EDIT: To answer your question, no, PS and XB instruments are not cross-compatible, but you can pick up 360 instruments (and X1 guitars) for really cheap from local craigslist and/or FB Marketplace.

u/Backfjre · 6 pointsr/Rockband
  • Yes! All wireless guitars from last gen with 5 buttons work with this, same with plastic drums from either RB or GH. On PS4 I believe wired instruments work too without the adapter even.

  • For Rock Band 3's songs just go to the store and click imports to buy all RB3 songs. For DLC Just go down the list of songs (I sorted by difficulty and went by section) and anything that says purchased hit a and download!

  • Online is being 'heavily discussed' and has a good chance of making it to the game at some point. Once past DLC and games are all importable then we'll start to hear and see about bigger updates to the game most likely.
u/HMXOwl · 6 pointsr/Rockband

We've got a chart on rockband.com/support here: https://harmonix.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/217769748-What-legacy-music-game-controllers-will-be-compatible-with-Rock-Band-4-

that has a line saying, "For all wireless legacy Xbox controllers, you will need to purchase the Legacy Game Controller Adapter."

Throw that name into Amazon and voila: https://www.amazon.com/Rock-Band-Legacy-Game-Controller-Adapter/dp/B01541ACLQ/

u/C_Rufio · 6 pointsr/Rockband

You need the adapter.

u/b_reachard · 6 pointsr/Rockband

If you want to get into RB4, get an Xbox One. You're in luck since you've already exported everything into RB3. It's $15 to import 3 into 4. If you missed out on exporting Green Day RB, all of those songs are still available as DLC.

As for instruments, check thrift stores, Facebook marketplace, Craigslist, etc. If you can find the wireless 360 instruments, you can get an adapter for them to use them on the Xbox one, but It's a bit pricier than it used to be. Xbox One controllers are a bit harder to come by, but if you're lucky you can find them cheap.

u/sirjimithy · 5 pointsr/Rockband

This \^. Just to elaborate: Switching console families is essentially starting from scratch. If you exported any of your Xbox Rock Band games to the next game in the series, you can freely download those exports on the Xbox One, along with any DLC you purchased on Xbox 360. On PS4, you'd need to buy any songs you had again. Also, if you have any of your old wireless instruments from Xbox 360, you can use them on Xbox One with the wireless legacy adapter.

u/bookreader52 · 5 pointsr/Rockband

Just to be clear this (https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Rock-Band-Wired-Legacy-Adapter/dp/B01MDJWJH9/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8) is the PDP adapter. It only works with the MPA and Ions. Madcatz also made a legacy adapter (https://www.amazon.com/Rock-Band-Legacy-Game-Controller-Adapter/dp/B01541ACLQ) that only works with wireless instruments. The RB3 stock kit works with the Madcatz one, not PDP. Just want to make sure you have the right adapter before getting a new kit :)

u/elcanadiano · 3 pointsr/Rockband

With respect to Xbox 360 instruments working on the Xbox One, you are thinking of the Mad Catz Legacy Game Adapter. You can get one here.

https://www.amazon.com/Mad-Catz-Rock-Band-Controller/dp/B01541ACLQ

Rock Band 4 (physical game disc) for the Xbox One previously came with said adapter but the original Rock Band 4 Band in the Box bundle for the Xbox One did not.

Nowadays, it is wise, as you said to buy Rock Band Rivals. That is an expansion to Rock Band 4 which contains a Rivals competitive mode and Rockudrama, a VH1-like storytelling career mode (separate from the existing Tour Mode already in Rock Band 4). You can purchase a digital copy of Rock Band 4 along with the Rivals expansion on the Xbox store (IIRC $60), or you can purchase different Rock Band Rivals bundles, including one with just a guitar and the game (along with the expansion) or one with a microphone, drum set, and the game (along with the expansion).

u/daubzee · 3 pointsr/Rockband

If Wireless, yes, however you will need this too - https://www.amazon.com/Rock-Band-Legacy-Game-Controller-Adapter/dp/B01541ACLQ

Wired guitars will not work.

Here is a good compatibility chart.

u/fallouthirteen · 3 pointsr/xboxone
u/ohsnapitsjf · 3 pointsr/Rockband

I skimmed the post, so I missed this:

> I've been using the RB2 kit with RB3 cymbals for years, really happy with it

Then use it. They went to pretty impressive lengths to make backwards compatibility possible in an era of consoles where both companies have either somewhat ignored or actively tried to prevent the use of last-gen controllers. Unless they're falling apart on you, stick with what you know and like.

If you're on Xbox, you need the Legacy Adapter. If you're on Playstation, you don't need anything but the Bluetooth dongle.

u/bearmod · 3 pointsr/xboxone

Get an instrument adapter. They've been available since launch.

u/OutsideOwl · 3 pointsr/Rockband

Ebay! There is always guitars under $100 and you can get good deals if youre really patient. You can also use 360 guitars (wireless only) with the Madcatz legacy adapter

u/Conejitobrincasalta · 3 pointsr/Rockband

Hey there! I think I can help answer most of these questions. However, if someone else knows more about me or sees I said something that's not true, please feel free to correct me!

​

Ok so,

​

  1. Consoles: If you get an xbox one, you'll be able to use the xbox 360 instruments (IF and only IF they are Wireless) to play Rock Band 4. You will need one of these to be able to connect them to the xbox one. Also, If you've ever purchased any sort of song DLC through xbox, most likely you'll be able to transfer it over to RB4.

    ​

  1. Song Exports: You mentioned RB1. Unfortunately, the export option for RB1 to RB4 (and RB2, RBLego, RBBeatles and RBBlitz) was only available for 5 years, this option has now ended and it's unavailable. There are some songs from RB1 and 2 that you can purchase on the store as DLC, but they are individual songs. The good news is, you CAN get a used copy of RB3, play it on your xbox 360 (unsure of how much/how long), and then on your XB1 you'll have the option on the store to export 83 songs out of RB3 for $15 which is a very good deal.

    ​

  2. Instruments: Like I mentioned before, if you have WIRELESS xbox 360 instruments, you should be able to use them no problem. I myself use a RB1 wireless guitar, a Guitar Hero World Tour wireless guitar, a RB2 wireless drumset, and the RB1 USB microphone (that one connects straight to the XB1 no problem).

    ​

    In Conclusion: Since you only have xbox 360 wired instruments, I think your best option (regarding getting "up to date") is to get and play RB3 on your xbox 360. People here in this subreddit have said that RB3 is the best out of all the RB's. It also has a keyboard instrument which is not available in any other game. Unfortunately, I got rid of my X360 and so my only option was to get RB4, but you can still use your console and play a good game! Also, most of the DLC out right now also works on RB3 (Someone correct me if I'm mistaken!) ***Look at EDIT***

    Also, if you have the xbox 360, you only have to switch disks and you'll have access to way more music games and songs exclusive to the games (RB1, 2, and 3, Guitar hero 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 etc., World Tour, RB Beatles, you get the idea.)

    ​

    Well, hope that helps! If you have any other questions, let me know!

    ​

    Edit: DLC info has been explained in this post's reply!
u/sudobyte · 3 pointsr/Rockband

Never had Rb1 instruments myself to know if they were wired/wireless, but:

If it's wired, then no. Wired 360 instruments are not compatible with XB1

If it's wireless, then yes, but you will need the legacy adapter. (https://www.amazon.com/Rock-Band-Legacy-Game-Controller-Adapter/)

u/adrenaline4nash · 2 pointsr/Rockband

Here's how to get started on the cheap: 1. Scour Facebook Marketplace & Craigslist for WIRELESS Xbox instruments (full sets are often $50-$75) 2. Buy Rock Band 4 on eBay (~$10) 3. If your wireless instruments were originally for the 360, buy the adapter ($15 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01541ACLQ/)

u/BlinkysaurusRex · 2 pointsr/Rockband

Wireless adaptor. As described in other comment.

u/HarryPotterRevisited · 2 pointsr/Rockband

Talking about rock band 4 or older games? And for which console? $500 for a band in a box is a shit load of money for something that was available for 100€ just a few months ago on amazon.de. That was the rock band 4 band kit for xbox one, the playstation ones have been hard to find for a while now.

Anyway, they aren't making anymore of those instruments and no official announcement has been made on the matter. Basically you probably won't find new instruments or band kits anywhere for a price that isn't ridiculous. Even the simple dongle that makes you able to play RB4 with real drums that was $10 on US amazon just 6 months ago goes for 200€ on ebay and I've seen people actually buy them. It doesn't look good for rock band if it goes on like this.

My tip would be, IF you are on the xbox one, to go for the legacy adapter(postage was $10 to finland so pretty affordable) and try to score any used wireless guitar hero or rock band guitar from local marketplaces or second hand stores if they are a thing in your country. I suggest guitar hero guitars and any wireless rock band drum kit, a guitar hero drumkit will work too but I guess its not ideal for the 4 lane notes. This way with a bit of good luck you could get everything you need for under $100 + the older drums are actually better, new ones have a lot issues with double hits.

If you're on ps4, the same thing but you'll have to do a bit of research since I don't know that much about them, but I do know ps3 guitars and drums will work with ps4 too. All i know that ps3 guitars have a terrible input lag, atleast the 2 guitar hero les pauls I own.

Oh, and basically any older rock band or guitar hero usb mic will work on both consoles as well for vocals

u/MisterQwert · 2 pointsr/Rockband

If you want to go super (ghetto) cheap for instruments, start searching thrift stores. Any wireless Rock Band or Guitar Hero guitar/drums will work with this adapter, and all USB microphones work. Guitars and mics are fairly common, but drums sets not so much. Compared to the Rivals band-in-a-box you're not saving a ton of money and risking janky used instruments, but it's not a bad option for a second guitar and extra mics you'll need to complete your band.

For music, look for (new) track packs for the Xbox 360. They come with codes to export the songs, and they carry over to the Xbox One. Some are available on Amazon for about $10 for ~20 songs. Used copies are a gamble since the code is likely redeemed, but if you can return them without issue (Gamestop), it may be worth a shot. If you have an Xbox 360, buy Rock Band Blitz (25 songs included for $15) and a (new or used) copy of RB3 (~$20 for the disc, $15 more to export 83 songs).

u/Sandalman3000 · 2 pointsr/todayilearned

You can also use the wireless adapter if you want to use your old wireless instruments. Wired adapter is sold out and had a limited run.

u/MCZRich · 2 pointsr/Rockband
u/dansla116 · 2 pointsr/Rockband

Yes, but I want to offer a specific detail about this that angers some people.

You can only be signed into one account per wireless legacy adapter and the wired legacy adapter only supports one controller anyway.

That is important if you have a sibling, significant other, or anyone else who wants to be on a different account at the same time with different Xbox 360 instruments. Only one of you can earn achievements, contribute xp, etc.

u/Gr8NonSequitur · 2 pointsr/Rockband

If they are the wireless ones then yes with a 360 Wireless adapter they work fine. If they are IONs or you use a Midi adapter you have to wait for the new Wired adapter from PDP to hit this fall. If you were a day 1 RB adopter and have a Wired RB1 drum set you're shit out of luck (like me!).

u/HMXJosh · 2 pointsr/Rockband

PDP's not making a new wireless adapter, but the Mad Catz one is still available and will continued to be supported by the game.

u/Vextin · 1 pointr/Rockband

Drum MIDI out to RB3 PRO-adapter to RB4 Legacy Adapter. Or, alternatively, if you have the Rockband IONs, you only need the Legacy Adapter.

u/spideyjiri · 1 pointr/Rockband

https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01541ACLQ/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new

It's definitely still available, unlike something I'd want, a TAC ps2 to ps3 guitar adapter because the gh2 guitar is really good.

u/Allegiance10 · 1 pointr/Rockband

Did you need the PDP brand adapter? I found this legacy Mad Catz one on Amazon. I’m a PS4 player (for RB4 anyway, so if this isn’t the same thing I apologize).

u/JakeRabinFM · 1 pointr/Rockband

Amazon states that they're in stock.

I just bought one yesterday and got an email saying that it shipped so if I get a cardboard box with a not saying "no" inside I'll be pissed.

u/Soccer1296 · 1 pointr/Rockband

It sounds like you already have instruments from X360/PS3. If thats the case you don't need new instruments, just a legacy adapter. You can find them on Amazon here:

https://www.amazon.com/Rock-Band-Legacy-Game-Controller-Adapter/dp/B01541ACLQ

If you have wired instruments there is a wired legacy adapter being released soon by PDP.

If you don't have any instruments already then band-in-box rivals edition would probably be best. Some people tend to prefer legacy GH guitar controllers and RB drum controllers. Just my opinion :)

u/BiNiaRiS · 1 pointr/Rockband

I don't think that one is even out yet.

I'm talking about the normal one:
https://www.amazon.com/Rock-Band-Legacy-Game-Controller-Adapter/dp/B01541ACLQ

u/sp_aceca_se · 1 pointr/Rockband

https://www.amazon.com/Rock-Band-Legacy-Game-Controller-Adapter/dp/B01541ACLQ It definitely looks like they still make them. I own this actually and I haven't had too many problems with it, but I have a Rock Band 3 kit and it can only use one kick pedal, which has been disappointing.

u/tivolk · 1 pointr/Rockband

The most detailed information I've found is from https://imgur.com/gallery/QHtqd along with http://forums.harmonixmusic.com/discussion/86886/diy-cymbals-and-e-cymbals-in-rock-band-2 (second link for information on the cymbals, wired differently than the rest).

I haven't been able to try doing it yet, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work on a Nitro kit.

After it's wired, I believe, all you'll need to do is get the wireless adapter: https://smile.amazon.com/Rock-Band-Legacy-Game-Controller-Adapter/dp/B01541ACLQ/

u/Seraphix · 1 pointr/Rockband

What's the difference between what you're looking for and this?

u/ChubbStuf · 1 pointr/Rockband

Yeah. It's going for $40 right now, cheaper than I thought. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01541ACLQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_MMmxCb10Q2BYP

u/WintendoU · 1 pointr/xboxone

Yes they are. https://www.amazon.com/Rock-Band-Legacy-Game-Controller-Adapter/dp/B01541ACLQ

They make adapters to reuse the 360 controllers on the bone.

u/shugo2000 · 1 pointr/xboxone

Previously purchased Rock Band songs are available to download in Rock Band 4, assuming you're using the same gamertag you used to purchase them. You can use almost any wireless guitar/drum controllers from the 360 era on Rock Band 4 with the Rock Band Legacy Controller Adapter. For more information, check /r/rockband.

And don't expect anything from Activision for Guitar Hero. It just won't happen.

u/MLC2 · 1 pointr/Rockband

Got mine off Amazon when it first came out. Here yah go.

Rock Band 4 - Legacy Game... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01541ACLQ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Xbox 360 Rock Band 3 Midi... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00409SOD2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

These are the two items I have. I have a midi in and out cable connected to the pro adapter. No luck on turning it on though.

u/SlimSticky · -5 pointsr/Rockband

the wireless ones are.... but you have to buy the legacy adapter which isnt a problem if i had one of the wireless guitars already. https://www.amazon.com/Rock-Band-Legacy-Game-Controller-Adapter/dp/B01541ACLQ
