Free online GP to MIDI converter

Source format: GP

GP usually refers to Guitar Pro files, most commonly .gp3, .gp4, .gp5, .gpx, or .gp variants. These files are used by guitarists, bassists, drummers, and arrangers to store tablature, standard notation, chord diagrams, lyrics, and playback data. Guitar Pro files can also include performance details such as bends, slides, vibrato, palm muting, and other instrument techniques.

Target format: MIDI

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. A MIDI file stores performance events rather than recorded audio, including notes, timing, velocity, tempo, and instrument changes. That makes it compact and widely compatible with DAWs, notation software, virtual instruments, and hardware synthesizers.

How to convert GP to MIDI

The most reliable method is to use Guitar Pro itself, because it understands the full structure of GP files and can export MIDI directly.

1. Open the GP file in Guitar Pro.
2. Check the score for correct tuning, transposition, tempo, and track assignments.
3. Choose File → Export → MIDI.
4. Adjust any export options if available, such as track selection, tempo map, and whether to export each track separately or as a single MIDI file.
5. Save the file with a .mid extension.

If you do not have Guitar Pro, some compatible notation programs can open GP files and export MIDI, but results may vary depending on how well they interpret Guitar Pro-specific techniques. You can also convert the file on 101convert.com for free, without installing any software.

Quality and compatibility notes

GP to MIDI is not always a perfect one-to-one conversion. MIDI does not support many guitar-specific notations in the same way Guitar Pro does, so some details may be simplified or lost. For example, bends, slides, harmonics, articulations, and certain drum or notation effects may not reproduce exactly in playback. Also, MIDI uses instrument assignments and channel data differently from Guitar Pro, so the exported file may need cleanup in a DAW or notation editor.

If the GP file contains multiple tracks, the export may produce a multi-track MIDI file, which is usually best for editing. If your goal is only playback, the MIDI file will be compact and broadly compatible. If your goal is accurate printed notation, keeping the original GP file is usually better than relying on MIDI alone.
