Editor's review
Most guitar enthusiasts were waiting for software like MidiTabPlayer that allows them practise guitar correlating Midi files with guitar finger positions. So if you are just learning your guitar or even are a professional player; the software is definitely going to come in handy. The software allows you take great guitar lessons by yourself and is great boon for musicians.
The software has an effortless installation. The launch screen has an attractive appearance and the navigation is quite easy. The first feature that will instantly strike you is the option of USB footswitch that allows for hands-free practise. Next the software has extensive options for Midi setup and tuner functionality. It also contains web links for guitar players towards midi resources suitable to them. The main screen displays options such as track name, guitar select, mute and solo. With little effort one can easily learn to effectively use the software. To import a Midi file, Import Midi option from the File tab needs to be selected. Once a file is imported the editor displays the music instruments that are being used in the track. You can go on to select the guitar track and select the transcription setup option. It has customizable practise features for loop practise and tempo change. It also has useful features like auto- rew which allows for automatic rewinding and loop features to put the track into a continuous loop.
On the downside the software lack controls for synchronised multiplayer practise. It is also cumbersome to operate for novice users. Though it has a help section, it fails to meet up to all the guidance requirements warranted by this type of software. Also at times the instructions are little difficult to execute. However, in a nutshell the MidiTabPlayer is quite effective in achieving its desired goals. Irrespective of its drawbacks it is sure to gain currency amongst guitar enthusiasts.
