Recently I posted RSModsPlus, my fork of RSMods (credit to Lovro for the original) that adds a digital drop pedal to Rocksmith 2014. This update adds Speaker Mode.

The drop pedal shifts your guitar signal to match the song. Speaker Mode does the opposite: it shifts the song to match however your guitar is tuned. I made it for playing through speakers, where you can hear the real guitar in the room so shifting the guitar signal doesn't make sense. It works with just a Real Tone cable, no ASIO or tone setup, and the tuner and note detection follow the shift.

Other changes:

- Speaker Mode handles non-standard chart tunings (drop tunings, open tunings)

- F9 cycles your physical guitar tuning so the mod knows what you're tuned to

- Drop pedal multiplayer: two players with independent pitch shifts

- Performance and stability fixes

The video shows both: drop pedal first, then Speaker Mode raising an Eb song to E, ending in the tuner.

UPDATE: v2.1.0 is out.

Thanks to the feedback here, I think I tracked some crackle/fuzz to the ASIO pitch shifter's splicing. It was not an RS_ASIO interface or buffer-size issue.

v2.1.0 rebuilds that part of the shifter and should fix the crackle on clean tones. It should also behave better on note attacks, palm mutes, and lower tunings.

Download: https://github.com/Cheesewizard/RSModsPlus/releases/tag/v2.1.0

RSModsPlus is a fork of RSMods 1.2.8.2 that adds a digital drop pedal to Rocksmith 2014 Remastered. It lets you shift your guitar input from -24 to +24 semitones without retuning the instrument.

ASIO users

• Requires RS_ASIO and an ASIO interface
• No MultiPitch tone setup required
• Works with stock and custom tones
• Tuner follows the shifted pitch
• You can change the pedal while playing or in the tuner
• Added processing latency is bounded by one detected pitch period, roughly 1 to 13 ms depending on pitch, plus the normal RS_ASIO round trip

For guitar-to-bass with ASIO, tell Rocksmith you are playing bass and include the octave in the pedal value. Example: E-standard guitar to E-standard bass is -12, Eb bass is -13. This avoids Rocksmith's emulated-bass post-processing path.

Without RS_ASIO

RSModsPlus falls back to the Cable Drop Pedal engine. That path still uses a MultiPitch tone and adjusts the tuning reference used by note detection, so it has a separate setup guide.

Install

Download xinput1_3.dll from the release and place it next to Rocksmith2014.exe. It replaces the RSMods DLL, so back up your existing xinput1_3.dll first if you want to restore plain RSMods later.

Controls

• Pitch down / up: , / .
• Toggle on / off: F8
• Base tuning down / up: F9 / F10

This is not an upstream RSMods feature, so drop pedal issues should go on the RSModsPlus repo.
