MIDItar Hero is a program designed to let you use a Guitar Hero or Rock Band instrument as a MIDI controller. You can use MIDItar Hero to control synthesized sounds within an application that uses MIDI, such as GarageBand, Reason, or Live, or through an external device (synthesizer, keyboard, drum machine, etc.) if you have a MIDI interface. Drums: Randomly flipping (with probability 0.5) the sign of the new value before enqueing it in tick will produce a drum sound. You will need lower frequencies for the drums than for the guitar and harp, and will want to use a decay factor of 1.0 (no decay). The note frequencies for the drums should also be spaced further apart.

This issue has happened to me and after researching I discovered that by downloading a peice of software from 'Activision, Red Octane and Neversoft' that will allow you to increase the drum sensitivity.
The sticky issue is, a USB to MIDI device is need to connect the drum machine to a PC (some support for MAC I think). You can see the 5pin MIDI plug on the back of the drum kit.
Apprantely Red Octane are shipping free USB to MIDI cables to anyone who purchased the drum kit. However, if you are in Australia like me, it doesn't seem like they will send you one. And who knows how long it will take to get here.
I did however find a USB MIDI cable listed on a website from an Australia seller that I can confirm is compatiable. The seller was friendly and offered me a full refund gurantee if it did not work for me. I can confirm it's a go'er! And the drum application works like a charm :-)
Those of you in need of the USB MIDI cable in Australia, I would recommened purchasing from this store: http://www.swamp.net.au/store/product.php?productid=1022&cat=0&page=1
Decent price, and you don't have to wait for it to come from China like most of the others listed on eBay. Enjoy you Guitar Hero: World Tour drum kit.

TROUBLESHOOTING
- I get an error message 'The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCR110.dll was not found...' when I run DrumBrain.exe
| The Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable installer (vc_redist_x86.exe comes in the DrumBrain zip file), is required to install before attempting to run DrumBrain. |
- I get an error message 'OpenGL functions unsupported...' when I run DrumBrain.exe. What does this mean?
| Update your video card drivers. If you've never done it, here's how. Why do you need to do this? OpenGL drivers used to be provided with windows, but no longer. You must acquire them by updating your graphics adapter drivers. DrumBrain will work after you've done this, and you will also benefit from having up-to-date drivers. |
- When I hit a pad, there's an audible delay/latency. Can I do anything to improve this?
| Maybe. Ensure you are using a WASAPI audio device. Go into Settings -> Audio, and test the devices under WASAPI tab. Use one that works. If you're already using a WASAPI device, then your PC may be outdated. DrumBrain doesn't look it, but it's a high performance real time audio application, and benefits greatly from a fast computer. |
