Rock Band 4 Reddit Thread From Harmonix Josh About Fall Update and Online Play

https://www.reddit.com/r/Rockband/comments/4gfmb5/so_hows_this_expansion_pack_ion_adapter_going_to/

I've seen a lot of questions around how this expansion pack is going to work, and wanted to take a minute to explain a few things.
The expansion pack coming in the fall is going to be Chapter 2 for Rock Band 4. You'll get some big features up front with the expansion pack, but you're also buying into updates that lead into 2017. The content plan will be similar to the free updates you got with Rock Band 4.
Essentially, you buy the expansion pack, you get stuff up front, and you also get free updates for a while after that. Online is one of those updates. If you have the expansion pack, online multiplayer will be a free update.
Wait, you're charging us for online multiplayer?
You’re paying for an expansion pack that includes awesome features (more to come at E3), online multiplayer, and consistent updates into 2017. So if I have to answer this question in a word, that word would have to be 'yes,' but you're getting a lot more than just online for your money.
What if I don't get the expansion pack?
You'll get the Music Library Enhancements coming in the fall. You'll also continue to get bug-fixes and minor improvements. Features and content will be locked.
What about the ION adapter? Will it work with my e-kit? If you have the MIDI PRO-Adapter, yes. The adapter will accept a USB input from either the ION drum brain or the Mad Catz MIDI Pro-Adapter.
I'm about to dive into responding in the panel recap thread. I'm not digging through the realtime discussion thread, since most of those questions were answered later in the panel. If anything's lingering, feel free to ask here. :)

The secrets are out: Synchronous online multiplayer is coming to Rock Band 4! PDP is making an ION/E-Kit adapter for Xbox One! Huge new features coming in our first ever expansion pack later this year!

For those who didn’t follow along on Twitter as we livetweeted the panel, here’s a quick recap of our 2016 roadmap:

May: Battleborn characters – These were announced at the Gearbox panel on Friday, but we’re confirming them for the May update hitting soon.
May: Double kick support – Yep, you’ll be able to use that other port on your drums to use double kick pedals for tougher songs.
June: Practice Mode -- All the features you’d expect are here. Picking sections of a song, slowing them down, vocal pitch guides, etc.
Summer: Pausing updates -- Here’s when we wrap up “Chapter One” of Rock Band 4 and put a pause on updates. We have some huge features in store for the fall, and we want to give them the attention from the dev team they deserve.
Fall: Expansion Pack -- In the fall, we’re launching our first ever expansion pack, which is going to have some really big features attached to it, which haven’t been seen in Rock Band before. Much more to come about everything here at E3.
Fall: Music Library Enhancements -- Arriving alongside the expansion pack (But available to everyone with Rock Band 4), we’re making a bunch of tweaks to the music library, allowing you to sort, filter, and rate songs more easily.
Holiday: SYNCHRONOUS ONLINE MULTIPLAYER -- It’s coming. We want to be sure this version of online is better than in previous games, so we’re going to be using a modified version of Quickplay that has improvements for people with differing DLC libraries and groups where a random person tries to pick every song.
I’m really excited about everything we have coming this year, especially because it means I get to talk about it with all of you guys and gals. I’ve gotta run to our event at the planetarium for now (And then pass out immediately after that’s over because holy crap it’s been a long, exhausting, amazing weekend), but rest assured that I’ll spend
