Quick TAB
Pro Audio quickly creates a tablature based on standard Þngering pat-
terns. After you try the quick version, you can customize the tablature to
your liking.
To Create a Quick TAB...
1.
Open a file that contains a MIDI guitar track.
2.
In the Track view, select the track number of the track you want
to display tablature for.
3.
From the View menu, choose Staff.
The Staff view appears, displaying a fretboard and the notation of
your MIDI track. To see everything, you may need to resize the
Staff view by dragging the top border upward a few inches.
4.
From the Staff view toolbar, click the dropdown arrow on the
Staff View Layout button to display the tablature dropdown list.
5.
Choose Quick TAB from the dropdown list.
A tablature grid appears, displaying the fret numbers for all the
notes in the track.
6.
From the File menu, choose Save. Saving your file saves TAB set-
tings for each track you generated TABs for.
Press the Spacebar to play your file. Notice that the Fretboard displays
the name of each note above the string and fret you would play it on as
the note plays.
Regenerate TAB
The Regenerate TAB command works on selected regions in a track to
modify the Þngering according to the method you choose. The TAB dis-
play by default uses the 'ßoating' algorithm which allows the notes to
spread over the entire fretboard. By choosing the "Þxed" algorithm
instead, you can designate a speciÞc Þnger span and lowest fret which
causes the TAB of a selected region to be displayed within this range.
This usually creates a more compact Þngering system.
The Regenerate TAB command gives you a third choice for displaying
tablature MIDI channel. This uses the event's MIDI channel to deter-
mine which string the note should be displayed on. When MIDI Channel
is selected, the user chooses which series of MIDI Channels should be
considered. This is useful for MIDI Guitarists that record parts in
MONO mode, where each string transmits on a different MIDI channel.
