How to connect and configure your drums using Santroller on RPCS3.
NOTES
Do NOT map this instrument via the "Pads" menu!
- Please note that your Santroller Configurator may have different settings, depending on how your drums were connected/modded. If you purchased your drums pre-modded, contact the seller for more information.
Setup
Before starting, make sure you stop Rock Band 3’s emulation in RPCS3.
Be sure to [download the latest version of Santroller].
After that, start up Santroller.
In the start screen, select your “Device to program”, “Connection Method”, and “Device to Emulate”. This will depend on what device you’re using for your drums. In the tutorial screenshots, it was a “Raspberry Pi Pico”, “USB Adapter”, and “Rock Band Drums” respectively.
After selecting your options, click on Configure.
In “Controller Settings”, change the following:
- Set “
Device to Emulate” to “Rock Band Drums” - Enable “
Use USB Passthrough with RPCS3”
MAKE SURE YOU CLICK ON “Save Settings” before closing the program or you will lose progress!
When you’re done, close Santroller.
You can now launch Rock Band 3!
Make sure Santroller is closed before starting Rock Band 3!!! Having Santroller open while launching Rock Band 3 will cause passthrough to fail, which means your drums will not connect!!!
