Rocksmith+ adds Deftones, Chainsmokers, Covers, and more QoL updates!

Hello Rocksmith fans!

This week there was a song drop and a title update for Rocksmith+! Artists such as Deftones, The Chainsmokers, Shinedown, and Incubus are featured with covers from artists such as: 3 Doors Down, Grateful Dead, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Megadeth, and Poison!

Let’s go ahead and check out the patch notes.

FEATURE IMPROVEMENTS / NEW FEATURES

• Mobile
  • Added a free experience on mobile that will allow non-subscribers to try the game with a restricted library before deciding if they wish to purchase a subscription.

The free songs for Guitar/Bass are Rising Sun, Amazing Grace, Happy Birthday, Ezio’s Family. For Piano they are Fur Elise, Ode to joy, Happy Birthday, Ezio’s Family.

• Noteway Pause
  • The Song Controller has been added. With it, you can granularly move through a song or snap between phrases without needing to use Riff Repeater. (woohoo!)
• Piano Audio
  • When using a MIDI device, a new option can be seen under “My Instrument” in the settings menu called “Midi Velocity Curve”. This can help you fine tune how loud your instrument should be with a given amount of force. (hopefully this will help the LOUD organ issue)
  • You can now play Piano with Phone as a Mic (through the Rocksmith Tuner app), Real Tone Cable, and other Interfaces. (Non-Midi keyboard people rejoice)
• Piano Noteway
  • Added three new customization options that allow you to turn off hand zones, the flashing prompts when using Note by Note mode, and the changing colors of the Side Rails that go along the sides of the noteway.
  • Added a new density preset, “Persistent Turbo”, that has the same behavior of the “Persistent” preset but is faster.
• Sheet Music
  • Some changes have been made to improve the UI in Riff Repeater when Sheet Music is active.
• Song Details / Tuner
  • The term “Custom Tuning” should now be replaced with the note names so you know what tuning you should be tuning to. (Finally)

Before we get to the songs, let’s see what we are losing…
