What is GP file?

The .GP (Guitar Pro) file extension is a proprietary format used by the Arobas Music company. It was designed primarily for guitarists, and created to help them transcribe and compose music. It is also used by non-guitarists, particularly by those who wish to create a musical score with a variety of elements. GP files are more commonly known as "tablature" because they contain detailed instructions and notation about how to play an individual song. A . [ ⏩ ] GP file extension

What is MIDI file?

The .MIDI file extension is a Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) file. MIDI files contain instructions on how a specific instrument or group of instruments should produce sound. These instructions are defined using data and codes stored in the MIDI file. MIDI files are popularly used in music production due to their low size. In comparison to audio files, such as MP3s, MIDI files are considerably smaller, and require less storage space. [ ⏩ ] MIDI file extension

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. GP to MIDI. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting GP files to MIDI files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension MIDI, while before this step we had the GP file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new MIDI file, or not.
