What to change for Rock Band 3 under the I/O tab in RPCS3's Custom Configuration.

Make sure your MIDI instrument is connected. YOU MAY HAVE TO MAKE THE WINDOW WIDER TO READ THE OPTIONS!

A screenshot of Rock Band 3's I/O custom settings, showing "Emulated MIDI Devices", "device type", and "device selection" highlighted in tan with a solid outline, and "Pad Handler Mode" and "Keep Pads Connected" highlighted in blue with a dotted outline.

  • A blue square with a dotted outline. Performance Tweaks:
    • Change “Pad Handler Mode” to “Multi-threaded“ - May help with thread distribution, which improves performance.
    • Enable “Keep Pads Connected“ - This can help fix a problem with certain instrument controllers softlocking the game when RPCS3 interfaces, such as the RPCN invites, come up.
  • A tan square with a solid outline. Recommended:
    • 🎹 [MIDI Keyboard Players]: Leave your “Emulated MIDI type” on “Keyboard” and select your keyboard or MIDI interface in the drop-down menu next to it.
    • 🎸 [MIDI Pro Guitar Players]: Change your “Emulated MIDI type” from “Keyboard” to “Guitar (17 Frets)” if you have a Mustang Pro Guitar, or “Guitar (22 Frets)” if you have a Squier Pro Guitar, then select your MIDI to USB interface in the drop-down menu next to it.
    • 🥁 [MIDI Pro Drums Players]: Change your “Emulated MIDI type” from “Keyboard” to “Drums”, then select your MIDI Drum Kit or MIDI to USB interface in the drop-down menu next to it.
    • Revisit the [Controllers page] if you need help.
