1. Open the RCM Programming Tool.
2. Plug your RCM 360 Wireless Receiver into your computer. You will see it appear with “Configure” and “Reset to factory” buttons.
3. Click “Configure“

3. You will be taken the configuration page where, on the left side, there is a dropdown for you to change presets.
   
   When switching to a different preset, click it, then click “Save Settings”.

4. You will want to wait until the bar at the bottom reaches 100% and says Status: Done.

Final notes:
You will need to calibrate some things per instrument. See the following section for more details.

1. First, we must open the USB Host Inputs dropdown menu.

2. Scroll down to the tilt section. You’ll see this:

3. Click Calibrate!
4. Then, position your guitar in the position you play in. Click Next.
5. After that, tilt your guitar up to the position you would like tilt to activate. Hold it there and click next.
6. You’re done! Click Save Settings on the left side. After it’s done, give it a try! You can recalibrate it to your liking just by clicking Calibrate again.

1. First, we must open the USB Host Inputs dropdown menu.

2. Scroll down to the guitar whammy section. You’ll see this:

3. Click Calibrate!
4. Then, don’t touch your whammy bar and then click Next.
5. After that, push your whammy bar down as far as it can go without overdoing it. Hold it there, then click Next.
6. Now you have to set Deadzone. Push the whammy bar in a little bit and you can see the value go up a little bit. Look for a point where the whammy won’t activate on it’s own. Hold it there, then click Next.
7. You’re done! Click Save Settings on the left side. After it’s done, give it a try! You can manually adjust the deadzone with the sliders as well if you’d like to tweak your settings.

1. Sync your drum kit to the RCM 360 Wireless Receiver. Verify that it is properly connected by opening the USB Host Inputs dropdown and start pressing the menu buttons. They should light up in the programming tool.

2. Click the MIDI Inputs dropdown, then start tapping on your drums while looking through the inputs to find which ones are being activated. Write down the MIDI number at the top of each input for easy reference.
3. Refer to the following picture. Value shows the signal sent from your drums to the ACE Adapter. Hit the pads to see the bar move and number go up! There are two modifiers you can change, Threshold and Sensitivity.
   • Threshold is how hard you have to hit before the game detects an input. Raising this requires you to hit harder. You want to change this if your light hit starts at a high number.
   • Sensitivity defines the max range of detection. It determines the loudness or hardness of the hit that the game detects. Lowering this allows hits with less strength to hit louder. You want to change this if your hard hits do not get close to maxing out the Value meter.

4. Some pads are more sensitive than others, so we suggest going through each pad/cymbal/input and adjusting to your liking.
5. Once you’re satisfied with calibration, click “Save Settings” on the left side of the window. Once the programming tool has finished writing the firmware, it will show “Status: Done” and 100%.
6. Close the software. Load up your favorite game and play! Or plug into your console and play!
   • If you are attempting to play Rock Band 4 on Xbox One/Series, you will have to authenticate. Click here to learn how to do that!

1. To use gamepads with the RCM 360 Wireless Receiver Adapter, you must first change the preset to Gamepad. Click here to be taken to the step-by-step programming guide.

2. Plug the V3 Adapter into your computer if not already, then open RCM Programming Tool. Once the programming tool detects your adapter, click “Configure“.

2. Plug in your gamepad. You should see “1 Devices connected” appear next to either USB Host Inputs or Wii Extension Input, depending on what type of gamepad you plugged in.

2. Click the dropdown with whichever type of input you plugged in, then scroll to the thumbsticks. There should only be four inputs. X and Y axis for both thumbsticks.

If you are using a Wii Classic Controller, you will see this instead:

5. Move both stick around and see the values that they idle at once you release. Adjust the deadzone to be a bit higher than the idling number. Once you set this, click Save Settings on the left side of the window. You can also use the Calibrate feature, which you then just need to follow the steps of.

5. Optionally, you can set deadzones for triggers if those are experiencing any erratic change in idle value.

There are various reasons for this occurring.

• It may be in keyboard mode, set that switch to OFF.
• The USB cable may be malfunctioning, try a different one.
• The USB port on the computer may be malfunctioning, try a different one.
