Audio to GP5
A MIDI file knows the pitch. A Guitar Pro file knows which string you played it on. If the end goal is a .gp you can open in Guitar Pro and keep working on, that is what this produces.

Converter notes
From source to editable tab
These notes are here for setup context. The main workflow starts above in the converter, then continues in the editor.
- Exports a Guitar Pro file that opens in Guitar Pro 7 and 8.
- Bends, slides, and hammer-ons survive the export instead of flattening to plain notes.
- String and fret assignment respects the tuning and capo you set.
Steps
- 01Upload your audio in the Audio tab.
- 02Set instrument, tuning, capo, and string count to match the real part.
- 03Run the conversion and check the fret positions in the editor.
- 04Move notes to better positions where needed, then export Guitar Pro.
Source quality
- Set the tuning before converting. Fixing fret positions afterwards is slower than getting them right up front.
- Tell it the right instrument. Bass and guitar map to completely different string sets.
- Convert one part at a time when the recording has several guitars.
- Fret choice is a judgment call, so the AI picks something playable rather than what you actually played.
- Articulation detection is good on clear recordings and unreliable on dense ones.
- Conversion is built around sources up to 15 minutes.
