3/B/4/3/ The MIDI sound
MIDI – Musical Instrument Digital Interface. This is a protocol, a universal
language to transmit digital musical information between computers,
synthesizers, sequencers, etc. MIDI files include messages that can precisely
describe a score: notes, rhythm, tempo, instrument, etc.
The quality of the sound you produce will depend on your equipment
(soundcard, actual or virtual synthesizer) – and not on Guitar Pro as such, as the
program will merely send information about pitch and duration to your
equipment for it to transform that information into sound.
Similarly, the list of the instruments available in Guitar Pro is defined by the
general MIDI norms, and is not extensible unless you use some specific
equipment.
MIDI Output:
Guitar Pro can use up to 4 simultaneous MIDI ports. You can assign a different
MIDI device to each of those ports.
It is recommended to choose the best MIDI device for port 1, as this is set as the
default one when a new track is created in Guitar Pro.
To apply a MIDI playback to your score, either go to the Sound > Switch all
tracks to Midi menu or select the MIDI option for the selected track from the
Track Inspector.
This one will offer you the possibility to mix RSE tracks with MIDI tracks.
You can finally force the MIDI mode for all tracks at the opening and creation of
your score. To do so go to the Preferences, General Tab, and select the option
Force playback with MIDI.
