Rocksmith.

Okay guys, after opening the Tighten Up DLC and extracting the PSARC files, I've encountered the charts in SNG format. According to the interwebz, this is actually a form of MIDI. Unfortunately for me, I can't find good software to convert it with. Can anyone help out, or does anyone have the DLC that can do this?

Also: Audio appears to be .ogg (lolextension) but Audacity wouldn't open it for me. Go figure. Looks like this could be almost laughably easy customs if someone figured it out.

I could give the .sng file a look if somebody could provide it.

It definitely doesn't look like a MIDI file, it might be easier for some of the more experienced file hackers to make sense of.

Good to see this being looked into, i wondered if it would/could be brought up here.
Unfortunately being in England we wont see this until 2012 so i can't really contribute, but watching numerous online videos the "game" looks real good and the possibilities for customs has me excited due to the real guitar audio rather than stems.
Hope you make a breakthrough.

I was looking at this weeks ago.. but only because I pre-ordered the game and received a voucher for the bonus songs.

Basically, the songs and tones are in their own .psarc file. Which, from what I read, is a format Sony uses for compression. You can extract those files using "PSARC PS3 Extractor" found here.

I never bothered to extract the tone but I did extract the song of "Free Bird".

It's basically set up like this.

I don't know if I've ever heard of a compressed WAV variant. It certainly couldn't be uncompressed, because the DLC for freebird was along the lines of 8MB. It definitely may be worth checking to see if the XML and SNG files have similarities, at the very least it will be easier to interpret a text based XML file than some unknown format binary file. I'll have to look at the XML file and see what I can find out. I do remember seeing what may have been markers for the start/end of riffs in an SNG file though.

I bought the Freebird DLC the other day, I might try to extract it so that I have the whole package to look at.

I just want to let you guys know that I got my Free Bird audio file from Rocksmith converted properly to play in Audacity. The information was already out there on another forum. I was going to post the info here until I realized that it's no different than decypting a mogg file from Rock Band. Which I think is against the rules here, right?

As far as I'm concerned, general discussion about that fact that it can be done is fine but if you post step by step directions or links to instruction pages or tools, that will be deleted, which is basically how it is now.
