GuitarPro-to-Midi

GuitarPro-to-Midi is a cross-platform command line application for converting GuitarPro files to MIDI files.

Features

Reading GuitarPro 3 - 5 Files (based on the open python pyGuitarPro project)
Reading GuitarPro 6 Files (using a simple bitwise compression and an xml structure with dictionary and ids)
Reading GuitarPro 7 Files (packed like a normal zip-file and using a very large xml structure)
Transferring all files into a common native format that saves all (and only) the information that are interesting for midi files. I.e. a lot of information like fingering or guitar amp preferences are ignored.
Splitting to a secondary channel for certain effects
Exporting to Midi, trying to simulate the sound as best as possible: Simulating:
- Different types of harmonics
- Strum patterns
- Bending - as far as the midi standard allows
- Trembar - "
- Volume knob effects
- Muted notes
- Vibratos
- and perhaps more..

(I must mention that GuitarPro's native Midi export lacks far behind in this functionality!)

Please enjoy and create some great software with this!

You can download a self-contained binary for Windows, MacOS and Linux in the release section of this repository on github.

The above command should create a file GuitarProFile.mid in the same directory as the input file.
