Rocksmith+ crush crush crush’s this week with Paramore and The Doobie Brothers

Hello Rocksmith fans!

No, it’s not Metallica time yet, but if you like Paramore and The Doobie Brothers. We think you’re really going to enjoy this week’s content drop…

before we get to the song drop, let’s take a look at the patch notes!

FEATURE IMPROVEMENTS/NEW FEATURES

MOBILE

• Piano microphone detection range has been increased from C3-C7 to C2-C7. (If you are using piano microphone detection with a piano larger than 49 keys, you may want to set your key range again to take advantage of this change. You can do this under “My Instrument” in the Settings menu.)

Great, add this to the PC version next!

GENERAL

• Song Results screen UI is now faster and immediately responsive. (yes, and noticeably so!)
• Moving the pitch bend wheel on a MIDI keyboard changes the pitch of the audio. (👀)
• Blackout mode removes VFX on the noteway and is available under Gameplay / Noteway Display options.

We’ve been asking for this!

• For piano: Color on keys can be turned on/off in “pause menu”
• For Piano: Note names on keys can be turned on/off in “pause menu”
• For piano: Improved the dynamic response of the default piano virtual instrument on mobile devices.

We also noticed a scroll speed modification option for Piano that we are told is coming “next patch”

Seems like next patch there will be a form of "hyper/breakneck speed" for those familiar with Guitar Hero/Rock Band pic.twitter.com/Y8MvFWbHRE

That means, there’s only one more Green Day song to be revealed… Is it 21 Guns or Jesus of Suburbia 🤔

There you have it, 30 songs from Paramore! Will we get more songs from Riot! Will we ever get That’s What You Get? Where is Rose-Colored Boy! Also, we doubled our Doobie Brothers but there could be another track coming in the near future, something to look forward to…

See you next week for Metallica!
