February 25, 2011, 2:02 am EST

SIMI VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--You Rock Digital™ announces You Rock Guitar compatibility with Rock Band 3 Pro mode, in addition to already controlling legacy five-button music video games like Guitar Hero® and Rock Band®.

“Hearing yourself playing along with your favorite song makes all the difference in the experience”

“You Rock Guitar is the bridge from video games to real music, teaching people how to play real guitar,” said You Rock Digital President Cliff Elion. “Compatibility with this latest release of the Rock Band platform delivers an enhanced ‘guitar-like’ experience for newbies and experienced players alike, using You Rock Guitar’s familiar, simulated strings instead of buttons.”

In addition, You Rock Guitar has 25 guitar sounds and 50 synth sounds so players can jam along with the game. “Hearing yourself playing along with your favorite song makes all the difference in the experience,” said Elion. “To those who say lack of innovation has damaged the future of music games, we say, ‘Play a You Rock Guitar.’”

You Rock Guitar users should install firmware upgrade 1.2, available from the You Rock Guitar website: http://yourockguitar.com/support/firmware-updates Mad Catz® Rock Band 3 MIDI-Pro Adapter™ and standard five-pin MIDI cable are required.
