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.

Usage: GuitarProToMidi path/to/GuitarProFile.gp
