You can capture notes via a MIDI instrument. (See Capturing notes with a MIDI
instrument)
Ports and Channels:
In the Instrument panel you can choose which port and which channel(s) to use
for each track.
By default Guitar Pro assigns 2 channels to every track in order to better the
effects playback (the effects get played on a separate channel so as not to affect
the notes that bear no effect).
If two tracks are using the same channels on the same port (roll down the list to
get the tracks’ numbers), their audio properties (instrument, volume, pan) will be
tied. It is therefore advisable to use only one channel per track if your score
contains a great number of tracks.
By convention, the percussions tracks are always assigned to channel 10 (a MIDI
norm).
You may choose to activate the “force 11-16” option to make Guitar Pro use one
MIDI channel for each string for a given track (which is useful if you have several
different bends on a same beat).
Note : it is possible to change these settings track by track by switching the track to
MIDI. New options will appear from the Track Inspector to change the port and
channel.
3/B/5/ Playback options
Guitar Pro has been designed to facilitate the learning of a score. Many playback
options are available.
Launching Playback:
To start playing a score, you can use the playback options available from the
Sound menu, but also the space-bar or even the toolbar playback options.
