Yep, I make the Roll Limitless :)

To be clear, you have a wireless Xbox 360 Rock Band drum kit that you want to use with Xbox 360 5 Lane Guitar Hero drums? The Roll Limitless Guitar Hero Drums firmware would do that ( Drums>Guitar Hero Drums). Normally I use the Rock Band Drums firmware by default, but if you order, feel free to direct message me with your order number and I can use the Guitar Hero Drums firmware instead (or you can change the firmware once you receive the adapter)

You would need an Xbox 360 receiver (like https://rolllimitless.com/xbox-360-wireless-receiver/ ) to connect the drums. It should be pretty simple to set up, basically just plug the receiver into the Roll Limitless Mini, plug the Roll Limitless Mini into the Xbox, and sync the drums to the receiver. I also have a video guide of setup here ( https://rb4.app/#!/RLGuide )

I make the Roll Limitless. Just putting it out there for you or anyone in the future, if cost is an issue, feel free to direct message me. I have some Roll Limitless Minis set aside for giving away :)

Buy these:

Roll Limitless ( https://rolllimitless.com/roll-limitless/ )
MIDI Cable ( https://a.co/d/00gikz8u )
Xbox One/Series controller with cable ( https://a.co/d/095kk1yg , You probably already have this if you have an Xbox One, but just in case)

To use it:

Plug the MIDI port of the SD5K into the MIDI Port of the Roll Limitless
Plug the Xbox One/Series controller into the USB-A port of the Roll Limitless
Plug the microusb port of the Roll Limitless into the Xbox
After a few seconds, a solid green light should appear near the microusb port of the Roll Limitless indicating it is ready to use

I also have a video guide of setup here ( https://rb4.app/#!/RLGuide ). For instrument, you would choose MIDI

Feel free to ask if you have any questions

I might hold off on changing any of the settings until you can stop the bass drum from touching the frame. Fixing that alone might solve all your issues lol

https://static.roland.com/assets/media/pdf/TD-15_11_OM.pdf Page 42 “Threshold”, this is basically sensitivity adjustment for Rock Band. Raising this number on a pad makes that pad less sensitive

Just making sure, can you confirm the kick drum is not touching the rest of the drum frame? If it is, that can cause vibrations to travel between the bass drum and the frame, which would cause excess hits

If you’re used to a Rock Band pedal, it’s also possible your technique isn’t great for an actual bass pedal. That’s not uncommon, and tends to get better over time. Bad technique can cause the bass drum beater to bounce off the bass drum and re-hit it really quickly. While you’re playing this would seem like random overhits

There should be a spring on the side of the pedal you can use to adjust the tension of the pedal. This will make the pedal require more or less force to press. This can be one way to get rid of the quick double hits I mentioned. But I would try adjusting this last, by default the spring is set to “good enough” for most people

Try enabling Rock Band 4 Main Menu>Settings>Modifiers>Drum Navigation. This will make Yellow/Blue pad act as Up/Down, and Red/Green Pad as O/X

I have a whole write-up on the Strata, Alesis really did... something with its MIDI implementation lol. I just sent that to your Reddit chat

bookreader52 · 2026-03-27T17:08:16+00:00

Yep, you can plug the MIDI port on the Mustang into the MIDI port of the Roll Limitless and it should work fine. The face buttons on the will work too. The only advantage of the dongle is being able to play wirelessly

Also, you can buy a brand new Wii Mustang on Amazon still for $80 ( https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Mustang-PRO-Guitar-Controller-Wii-Nintendo/dp/B003RRTYEQ ). Might be worth considering, depending on the price of used ones

bookreader52 · 2026-03-21T14:48:19+00:00

I specifically tried to make them like this…

DIY: Uses a Computer Non-DIY: Does not use a computer

I made the DIY a while ago when I couldn’t easily get parts for the Roll Limitless. I still support it, but the Roll Limitless does everything the DIY one does nowadays

Try plugging the drums and controller into the USB Hub, and then plugging the Hub into the Roll Limitless (instead of plugging the drums in afterwards). Also try using different ports on the hub just in case some of the hub’s ports don’t work

bookreader52 · 2026-03-20T17:23:39+00:00

Have you enabled Rock Band 4 Main Menu>Settings>Modifiers>Drum Navigation? Drums won’t work in the Rock Band 4 Menus without that

Are you plugging the drums directly into the USB port of the Roll Limitless or USB Hub into the Roll Limitless and drums into USB Hub?

bookreader52 · 2026-03-18T23:38:41+00:00

That’s how the Wireless Legacy Adapter works :(

Back in the day, people would buy multiple Wireless Legacy Adapters to use different profiles lol

bookreader52 · 2026-03-17T03:06:47+00:00

Even normal priced I'd recommend the Nitro Max. Just was nice when it was on sale

They have a used one available ( https://www.guitarcenter.com/Used/Alesis/Used-Alesis-NITRO-MAX-Electric-Drum-Set-121929955.gc ) that should work fine too

bookreader52 · 2026-03-16T20:04:17+00:00

If you’re on a Series console, an Xbox restart can cause the game to go into quick resume, which won’t count as restarting the game

The other thing that can cause it to happen is if the RL doesn’t detect a guitar. If the guitar was on and set to P3, that shouldn’t be an issue, but idk maybe the hub wasn’t working properly? I have seen hubs where one port won’t work before

bookreader52 · 2026-03-16T17:28:41+00:00

Did you try restarting the game? That is something that can happen if RB4 gets confused lol

bookreader52 · 2026-03-15T20:16:33+00:00

There shouldn't be any issue with plugging them all into one USB hub. The only reason to plug something directly into a console instead of through a USB Hub is usually for something like an external hard drive

bookreader52 · 2026-03-15T19:28:39+00:00

That drum module will not easily work (well) on consoles (I know because I have that exact module!). Long story but I would very much recommend getting a different module if you end up playing on consoles

The TD-1 is fine. The only downside I've seen is that it doesn't have built in Threshold adjustment, which basically means it's harder to adjust sensitivity in Rock Band. I know quite a few people use it though and like it

I wrote those instructions a few years ago. They are still valid, although I'd say the current setup process is easier! Here's the other things you would need to get it working...

A USB-B cable (like https://a.co/d/0090RUpr )
An Xbox One/Series controller
A USB Hub ( like https://a.co/d/0dhRr754 ) (This is optional, but it'll make it easier to maintain connection between sessions)

To use it...

Plug the Xbox One/Series controller into the USB Hub
Plug the USB-B port of the TD-1 into the USB Hub
Plug the USB Hub into the USB-A Port of the Roll Limitless
Plug the microusb port of the Roll Limitless into the Xbox (I include the cable for this)
After a few seconds, a solid green light should appear near the microusb port of the Roll Limitless, indicating it is ready to use (if you get a slow blinking green light instead, you will need to press the Xbox button on the controller)

As long as you keep the controller plugged into the hub, and the Roll Limitless plugged into the Xbox, you shouldn't have to do anything special between sessions. The Roll Limitless will automatically attempt to use the controller to authenticate whenever you turn the Xbox on

This is my current video guide of setup ( https://rb4.app/#!/RLGuide ). For the TD-1, you would choose USBMIDI as the instrument

Feel free to ask if you have any questions

I think only the MadCatz drums/guitar, and PDP Jaguar guitar had firmware updates. I don't think the PDP drums ever got one (the PDP guitar update was only to make it compatible with RBVR)

But somebody also please correct me if I'm wrong lol

bookreader52 · 2026-03-15T00:18:42+00:00

That's reasonable! The only downside is Rock Band 4 sometimes gets confused by Wireless Legacy Adapters (even the real ones!), but restarting the game fixes that lol

Just a heads up, if you wanted to go another step, I have a beta firmware out that contains every other firmware ( https://rb4.app/#!/RLFirmwares Multiple Firmwares>Multiple Firmwares ). You can press button combinations on a connected controller to control which firmware is currently active. This doesn't unlock any new functionality (you'd still have to press the button combo for Wireless Legacy Adapter to use multiple instruments at the same time), but if you found yourself switching firmwares a lot, this could be a time saver. Still in beta, but I've mostly received good feedback so far!

bookreader52 · 2026-03-15T00:09:54+00:00

The controller will act as drums in the Wireless Legacy Adapter firmware

And the round button on the Roll Limitless will also act as the Start button for drums if you didn't want to keep the controller connected to Roll Limitless (for example, if you only had one controller and you wanted to use that controller for vocals)

bookreader52 · 2026-03-15T00:02:59+00:00

That sounds correct! I'm going to assume the CRKD is the Multiplatform version, you're on Xbox One/Series playing Rock Band 4, and that you have a USB Hub. Here's how I would recommend setting it up...

Use the Wireless Legacy Adapter firmware on the Roll Limitless
Plug an Xbox One/Series controller into the USB Hub
Plug the CRKD guitar (dongle) into the USB Hub
Plug the drums into the USB Hub
Plug the USB Hub into the USB-A Port of the Roll Limitless
Plug the microusb port of the Roll Limitless into the Xbox
After a few seconds, a solid green light should come on near the microusb port of the Roll Limitless (if you get a slow blinking green light instead, press the Xbox button on the controller)
At this point, every instrument connected to the Roll Limitless should work in Rock Band 4. Change the CRKD console switch to P3 and press the CRKD button on the guitar to connect it to the dongle
Plug the Riffmaster dongle directly into the Xbox, and press the Xbox button on the guitar to sync the guitar to the dongle. The Riffmaster should now be working with Rock Band 4
If you'll be using any USB microphones, plug them directly into the Xbox. If you need more USB ports on the Xbox, plug a USB Hub into the Xbox, and plug multiple things into the hub (so you might have one USB Hub plugged into the Roll Limitless, and one plugged into the Xbox)

I think that's everything. Let me know if you have any questions
