Feature improvements / New features
Challenges
- Onboarding Challenges
- These are challenges for new players to help get them used to using Rocksmith+. These range from asking you to play a lesson, to getting a certain percentage on a song.
Guitar / Bass
- Pitch Shifter
- Ever wanted to play a song on Guitar or Bass that was in a low tuning but did not want to retune your whole instrument to play that one song? This feature is to help alleviate that! When enabled, you can set what tuning you want your guitar or bass to stay in, and we will try to adjust the tuning of songs to accommodate for that. We will pitch your instrument's audio up or down, so it sounds like it is in the proper tuning. This feature works on Guitar and Bass when using a cabled connection.
- Here are some examples:
- E Standard -> B Standard - With the pitch shifter enabled, you will not need to retune your instrument going from E standard to B Standard (or vise-versa).
- Drop D -> Drop A - The pitch shifter also works in this case, and you will not need to retune your instrument.
- E Standard -> Drop C - The pitch shifter will ask you to retune to Drop D, so you only need to retune one string, instead of all of them.
Piano
- Grand Piano Tone Override
- A new option has been added under the "Sound" settings that allows you to turn off the tones we use on Piano, so you are left with just a Grand Piano tone.
- Sustain Pedal pop-up
- If you previously disabled the visuals for Sustain Pedal on Piano, and we detect that you press the sustain pedal on your piano, we will ask you if you would like to turn the visuals back on. This is to help if you started playing before you owned a sustain pedal, and you purchase one later and forgot to turn the visuals back on.
__Rocksmith Workshop __
- Lower Guitar tunings now allowed in Rocksmith Workshop
- The new lowest tuning allowed on Guitar is -12 semitones, lowered from the -7 previously allowed. This only applies to Guitar; it does not impact Bass.
Major Bug Fixes
General
- Fixed an issue where some song queues could enter an infinite loading state.
- Fixed an issue that caused some songs to display an incorrect song duration.
- Fixed an issue that could cause the game to freeze when transitioning from the Customize Tab to the Tones tab.
- Fixed an issue that could cause game to freeze when backing out of an artist page.
Noteway
- Fixed an issue that caused the noteway to flicker when transitioning from the tuning screen.
- Fixed an issue that caused the noteway to not appear when switching from Tab Only mode to the noteway on the pause menu.
- Fixed an issue where accented chords were hard to see when "Blackout Mode" was enabled.
- Fixed an issue that caused chords with bends to sometimes display the wrong arrow depicting how much you need to bend the string.

- Fixed multiple issues in piano sheet music
- Rhythmic note spacing has been improved
- Fixed some issues with some vertical and horizontal collisions that occurred in some songs
- Fixed some scaling and padding issues
__Practice Presets __
- Fixed an issue that could cause the page header to disappear when finishing a practice session after playing a song.
