Exporting midi file to Guitar Pro

[Michael Jacob]

I am trying too document my original songs in Guitar Pro 7.  I exported my drum tracks from EZ Drummer 2.  I imported the midi file into Guitar Pro selecting the drum kit as the instrument and I get either no sound or incorrectly mapped sounds.  For example, I get something sounding similar to a conga drum when I’m supposed to be getting the high hat.  Does anyone know how to do this export such that the sounds will match the ones in guitar pro?  Thanks!!

Hi,

 

I think Guitar Pro uses internal sounds, right? You can’t use EZdrummer 2 in Guitar Pro?

Even though EZdrummer 2 is GM compatible when you feed it GM MIDI, the Toontrack MIDI for EZdrummer 2 is extended GM and use e.g. the percussion MIDI notes for more drum articulations. There is no way within EZdrummer to convert the exported MIDI to GM MIDI. Toontrack’s EZplayer Pro can do this but then you need to have a host for it.

 

BR,

What do you mean you need to have a host for ez player pro? Is the host guitar pro 7 or a DAW?

Since I originally posted this question I decided all I really needed was the guitar work in guitar pro, but there is something that might work for you. EZ Drummer has an option in settings to enable midi out, but it isn’t available in stand alone mode.  I think this is what is meant by needing a host, so if you run EZ drummer in a DAW you should be able to enable the midi out option and send that data to guitar pro.  I never actually tried it, but it sounds like it could work.
