GuitarPro-to-USDB-format (https://wiki.usdb.eu/txt_files/format)
This project uses GuitarPro-to-Midi and instead converting GuitarPro files to MIDI files it converts guitar pro files to usdb txt file for Karaoke. This can be used Vocaluxe or Ultrastar Deluxe.
- 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.
