Guitar Pro 7 Signature Sounds Explained

Guitar Pro is a powerful piece of software that can handle virtually any form of guitar sheet music or tab manipulation. It’s also a much better option than the “Courier” typeface guitar tabs that you’ll find on numerous tab websites. Learning how to use the tone component of the software makes it more useable and useful for experimenting with new melodic and notational concepts, but if you want to use it, you must first understand how guitar parts function.

Hi, I was wondering how you were able to make all these different ‘signature sounds’ so similar to the real instruments and players. I am making a cover of Sweet child o’ mine, by Guns n’ Roses, and I am trying to make Izzy Stradlin’s Guitar sound (The Rhythm Guitarist) and I wanted to use whatever techniques you guys used to make the signature sounds to make Izzy’s guitar sound myself.
P.S. Is the ‘Jungle’ signature Bass Guitar Referring to ‘Welcome to the Jungle’s’ Bass Guitar?

Hi

I´m composing a song on Guitar Pro 7 that includes the following tracks: overdrive guitar, overdrive solo guitar, bass, drums, church bells and church organ. Are the bells and church organ sound samples available on GP7? And what about theatre organs? Thank you.

Hi Rasmus, here are the organs available in Guitar Pro 7.5, you’ll hopefully be able to find similar sounds there: Hammond Organ, Percussive Organ, Church Organ, and Reed Organ. And we’ve got the “Bell Tree’ and Trikle Bell. Go on Track > Add > MIDI > Organ. Thanks

It would be awesome if you could give us a pedalboard view, on a new movable window, with all the effects in use like you have for the fretboard and drums. That way would be much easier to change parameters while the guitar is plugged in instead of having to jump around from effect line into effect line. This is a pain to change small settings for the things you need. Also would be a good idea to have the bottom track mapper to zoom in/out since sometimes yo have an instrument on the end of the track that you need to change and have always to navigate back and forward (L to R and R to L) from the beginning of the song to the end, if this had a zoom feature you could zoom out the entire song and visually choose quickly the square you need to change. Thank you

Hi Rui, thank you very much for your suggestions! They have been sent to our dev team!

Is there any way for users to create their own sound banks? This would be extremely useful, especially for creating drum tracks.

Also the ability to utilise VST plugins would be extremely useful as well. Am willing to beta test 🙂

Hi Chris, you can set up your effects chain with your settings and then save it as a template but you can’t import or create sound banks in Guitar Pro, sorry. I have sent your ideas as suggestions to the dev team! Thank you very much.

It would help if the names said more. One has to guess. I’ve seen videos and many names say nothing to me, but if I knew the name of the artist or band, or song it would really help to identify them.
I’ve seen many effects and amplifiers, does it have a flanger or any other kind of sound like that? I’m waiting for the time to invest in this marvelous soft

Hi Manuel, here is the complete list of signature sounds with the names of the bands: https://static.guitar-pro.com/media/pdf/sons_signature_guitar_pro_7.pdf
I hope that it will help you.
Yes, the flanger effect is present in Guitar Pro 7.5. You can try Guitar Pro for free for one month: https://www.guitar-pro.com/download-guitar-pro

Hi , the high tom sound is so annoying
Everything is perfect but The drum sets
They are good too but not the toms

Good day everybody! I need your help ASAP, I download Guitar Pro 7 with a licence, but the program doesn’t have any sound, even during start, after I updated the new version, but nothing changes, do I need setup soundbanks for this version like for Guitar Pro 6? Because I didn’t find the app of soundbanks together with the main app. Or maybe I need turn on sound with the settings, I tried to find how to fix this problem, but I couldn’t, so, please, I really need your help guys! Thank you advice and have a nice day everyone,

Hello Viktoriia,

Hi Thomas,

I’m loving the ‘Line In’ function with the Songbook tabs.

If I change some of the ‘Song’ settings (e.g. using a different amp or changing ‘Strat’ to ‘Les Paul’) when I close the tabs, are my changes saved?

If so, how do I undo this – as I’ve now realised Songbook’s settings can’t be beat?!

Hi Michael, please open the mySongBook tabs again and the settings will be back. Thanks

I’ve been Guitar Pro user since version 5. And now I’m using Guitar Pro 7. SInce I’m not only doing guitar transscription but drum transscriptions as well I’ve run into the problem that all “High Crashes” sound at a lower pitch than “Medium Crashes”. The midi notes that Guitar Pro generates for “High Crash” is 49 and that for “Medium Crash” is 57. Shoudn’t that be the other way round?
Furthermore GP7 offers each cymbal that it knows as a single GP7-Soundbank. What can I do with those? E.g. assigning Soundbank “Crash 2 (Star)” to a drum kit track does not change nothing.

Regards
Holger

Hi Holger, thank you very much for reporting the problem, it has been sent to the team. Thanks a lot.

Single – Ritchie, Randy, Yngwie from Guitar Pro 5.2 is the best guitar tone I’ve ever seen from Guitar Pro. This new RSE soundbanks sound horrible, and too computarizated.
Is there any way to bring back the 5.2 soundbanks? But please, not like in GP 6, that “port” was not a port and was horrible too.

Hi Iván, you can try to install them in there:

On Windows: File Explorer : %AppData%Arobas MusicGuitarPro7My Effect Chain Presets
Or on Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Arobas Music/guitarpro7/My Effect Chain Presets

If it doesn’t work please contact our support here: https://support.guitar-pro.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Thank you

Hi Oscar, sorry about that we are currently correcting them.

Hi

Hi,
is possible to import or convert the Gp6 preset ??
I made a lot, and i want to have them in Gp7.
Thanks.

Hi Gwen, you can’t directly import GP6 presets. But if you are using Windows you can place your GP6 presets into that file: %AppData%\Arobas Music\GuitarPro7\My Effect Chain Presets or if you are on Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Arobas Music/guitarpro7/My Effect Chain Presets. if you need help don’t hesitate to contact our support here: goo.gl/tq6163 Thanks
