Guitar Connectivity:
Rocksmith+ requires an internet connection at all times to play.
For Mobile, there are two ways to play. First download the Rocksmith+ app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, and log in in using your Ubisoft Account, and sync the app to Rocksmith+.
Option 1 - Device microphone
The app can use your phone or tablet's on-board microphone to detect your playing with an acoustic guitar or an amplified electric guitar or bass. For best results, a clean tone is recommended when using amplified electric instruments.
Option 2 - Third-Party Audio Interface
With electric instruments you may also be able to connect directly with mobile audio interfaces. Your experience may vary with third-party guitar interfaces and not all interfaces are supported. Ubisoft is unable to provide technical support for third-party interfaces. For more info click here.
