Has your head cooled from all that rock news this morning ? Nope? Well, we’d hate to rile you up again, but Mad Catz — now the official provider of all Rock Band 3 equipment — has priced its latest arsenal for the upcoming rhythm revival title. There’s also a few new details on each instrument, so without further ado: Wireless Keyboard: That MIDI port many of you spotted is for output, letting you plug the two-octave (C3 to C5) velocity-sensitive keytar directly into MIDI sequencers for non-gaming use. It’ll set you back $80, with an optional stand to be sold separately (no price given) alongside the game’s launch. Buying the keyboard / game bundle will be $130, or about $10 off individual purchases. Oh, and if you want to feel a bit more techno, this puppy can be used as the guitar / bass input. MIDI PRO-Adapter: Want to use your own keyboard or electronic drum set? Here’s the mediator you need, from MIDI to USB to console, and it sports the D-pad and other necessary gamepad buttons as well as velocity sensitivity adjustment controls. Asking price is $40.
