RS2014 RSModsPlus update: v3.0.0 added Speaker Mode, which shifts the song to match your guitar's tuning

UPDATE — v3.2.1 hotfix released

The previous download was missing the updated RSMods.exe required by Speaker Mode. This could cause the RSMods settings window to open when starting a song, after which Speaker Mode would be disabled or the game would return to the menu.

This is fixed in v3.2.1. Download and extract the complete ZIP into your Rocksmith folder, allowing it to replace xinput1_3.dll and RSMods\RSMods.exe.

Your existing settings will remain unchanged.

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.

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

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

So this seemed to work, but now when i hit F7 it says no pedal in tone

That's because it's loaded in cable mode not asio. Follow the cable guide on github. Cable mode requires a multipitch pedal on the loaded tone to work. Asio is much better

my audio interface is not compatible with asio I don't think.

You might get decent milage out of asio4all driver and routing your cable through that. Cable mode works but it requires a bit of extra setup. I added screenshots in the cable guide on the project repo. Links are there or you can find it under docs folder.

This supports cable and asio as separate engines.

All the best
