A GTP file may also be a tablature (tab) data file created by Guitar Pro versions 1 and 2. It contains music score data for various stringed instruments, including guitar and bass. GTP files store MIDI data simulated by the Guitar Pro engine to play music, not actual audio data.
More Information
Arobas Music Guitar Pro is a multitrack composition program tailored to string instruments, mainly the guitar. It includes tab editing tools and converts compositions to various audio and document formats.
Guitar Pro 3 replaced the GTP file type with the .GP3 file. Beginning with version 3, Guitar Pro saves tabs as a file with an extension corresponding with the software version by default. For example, Guitar Pro 4 saves tabs as .GP4 files, Guitar Pro 5 saves tabs as .GP5 files. However, version 6 saves tabs as .GPX files.
Although Guitar Pro replaces file types with each new version, the software still supports previous Guitar Pro file types. For example, Guitar Pro 7 can open GPX, GP5, GP4, GP3, and GTP files.
NOTE: Arobas Music originally developed Guitar Pro as a tablature editor for Windows. However, it expanded the software to Mac OS X in July 2006 with version 5.
