What is a .trbp file?
File extension details and usage information
The TRBP file extension is a specialized data format primarily associated with Trombone Champ, a rhythm-based music game developed by Holy Wow Studios. These files function as 'charts' or map files that contain the specific instructions for a song's gameplay. Within a TRBP file, data is typically structured in a JSON-like format to define the timing, pitch, slide positions, and duration of notes that a player must execute to successfully play a track. It also stores essential metadata such as the song title, artist name, tempo (BPM), and difficulty ratings. While the file itself does not contain the actual audio data—which is usually stored in a separate companion file like an OGG or WAV—it acts as the synchronization layer that tells the game engine how to align user inputs with the music. The format is widely used by the modding community to create custom levels, allowing players to import their own music into the game. Because it is a text-based data container, it can be opened with standard text editors for manual adjustment, though specialized community-developed chart editors are preferred for precise timing and note placement.
