Music score editor

Guitar Pro Guitar Pro is a guitarist's favorite software, which is used to draw, print, view and audition guitar chords, six-pointed stars and bass quartets. It is also an excellent MIDI sequencer, an auxiliary tool for MIDI production, and can output MIDI in standard format. The advantage of GP is that it can directly input, view, print and audition music scores according to the standard six-line score and four-line score with the mouse and keyboard (it can automatically scroll the screen in real time and display a single voice or music score in various modes), and it can be used in sliding, leaning, pushing strings, kneading strings, overtones, rocking handles, muffled sounds, arpeggios, broken strings, bass playing strings and so on. In addition, it is extremely convenient, concise, intuitive and vast in guitar chords, display, calculation, query and call, which is a remarkable feature that similar software can't match. The software supports 25 different languages, including simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese. The new version adds some settings for individual users when printing; The state of the guitar panel (operation area) has been greatly improved when playing. You can choose to display the notes of the current note, the next note, the current chord table and the current bar while playing. Added chord chart support and drum symbol input for 4 stringed instruments, 5 stringed instruments and 7 stringed instruments; The improvement of lyrics input provides more convenience and so on.

Guitar Pro is the best choice for friends who are beginners in composing music, especially those who are also beginners in guitar. Is an excellent primary software, but also a masterpiece of non-real-time composition software.

Guitar PRO was developed by aro bas(www.guitar-pro.com). Compared with the previous version, Guitar Pro has added many new functions, which can be called a very mature guitar music production software! The biggest advantage of Guitar PRO (hereinafter referred to as GP) lies in the convenient 6-line spectrum display, which not only brings convenience to observation, but also prints high-quality guitar scores. GP also supports external MIDI signal input. If you have a MIDI guitar, you can have a great influence. Now you don't have to be bound by CAKEWALK! At the same time, the playback settings also support MIDI sound source selection, which overcomes the problem that the previous version can only use the default MIDI sound source, and it is very convenient to quickly change various sound sources for playback! In addition, GP also supports multi-track mode. We can use it to make guitar tracks, bass tracks and percussion tracks, so GP3 is a guitar-centered music production system, which can fully meet your various MIDI music production needs! Let's walk into the guitar world of GP!

(Track Properties)

After starting the software, we use OPEN to open a demo song in the GP3 installation directory. At this time, we can see that the screen is divided into three parts from top to bottom, the top is the notes and shortcut toolbar, the middle is the score display area, and the bottom is the track attribute area. The audio track attribute area specially added in 3.0 is designed by imitating CAKEWALK, which undoubtedly brings convenience to users who like CAKEWALK*. Among them, NAME and INSTRUMENT are used to set the track name and instrument, VOLUME and PAN are used to set the volume and pan position, and CHO, REV, PHA and TRE are four commonly used effectors, namely chorus, reverberation, phase and vibrato. In addition to setting the main MIDI channel for CH, GP3 also adds the CH2 effect channel, through which different effects can be added to different tracks!

(shortcut toolbar)

In the score area, we can see the neat and clear 6-line score and the display of chords and lyrics. The method of editing and modifying notes is also very simple, just use the mouse to select the length of notes in the toolbar in the upper left corner, then click the left mouse button on the corresponding string and enter the location of a product. You can delete a note with the DEL key, add a bar with the right-click INSERT, set a triplet with the N-TRUPLET, and set a dotted symbol point.

Just press OK at last!

(Chord window)

By choosing a note, we can add various velocity symbols, from PPP to FFF, or we can apply velocity symbols to the whole chord. Of course, sometimes it is necessary to add various playing skills to a note, and GP3 provides us with rich choices. Under the effect menu, we can use bending to enter the setting window of string pushing skills, where we can set parameters such as the amplitude and duration of string pushing, and use the play button to preview the effect after the action! Of course, other playing techniques include hammering/pulling, sliding strings, vibrato of left hand, vibrato of unlucky bar, grace note decoration, NATUREL HARMONIC natural overtone, ARTIFICIAL HARMONIC artificial overtone, tapping strings, tapping bass beats, dead sounds, stroke sweeping strings and so on, which is dazzling! These humanized playing skills will greatly enhance the flexibility of music and make it sound more colorful!

After adjustment, click the song title display directly below to enter the song information setting window, which records the song title, author, album, copyright and other information of this song. Press OK after confirmation.

In the preferences of the options, you can set various display fonts and colors of GP3, and you can also set the print size of the score. The port device of MIDI SETUP is used to set the four playback port devices supported by GP3, so that we can find their corresponding names in the port of the audio track properties. Play the space bar to see if the effect is different!

(MIDI output settings)

Under the Tools menu, GP3 has prepared several very practical guitar editing AIDS for us, which can help us improve our work efficiency and achieve the goal of getting twice the result with half the effort!

With GP3, everything is so arbitrary, because it takes you into a brand-new guitar world. I believe all guitar lovers can't miss such an excellent software. I wish you a good music as soon as possible!
