In this article, you will learn about converting PDF files for use with Gig Performer ChordPro.Background.The ChordPro/Lyric window in Gig Performer does not yet have built-in support for viewing PDF files. However, since it does support images, a workaround is to convert PDF files into image pages that can be used by our viewer. However, it is time consuming to manage manual conversion of a PDF file into image files as well as creating the ChordPro directives needed to make them usable.Solution.There are several free (and indeed open source) command line utilities that can be used to convert PDF files into collections of image files. We decided to create a wrapper around one of these utilities to automate the creation of the required image files and to automatically create the ChordPro directive to insert into your ChordPro viewer. It is called PDFToGPChordPro.We do have to note that PDFToGPChordPro comes with absolutely no warranties. It probably will not delete all your files nor damage anything on your computer but if you manage to mess something up, we cannot provide any support or accept any responsibility. Use it solely at your own risk.Steps – Part 1 – Download and install the PDFToGPChordPro utility from the Gig Performer Website.1. Download PDFToGPChordPro Mac version or PDFToGPChordPro Windows as desired.2. Open the compressed zip file and put the application anywhere you like. By convention, Mac user may prefer to put it in their Applications folder while Windows users may prefer to put it in their C:\Program Files\ directory.3. Double-click (or otherwise open) the application. You should see a window that looks like this (obviously, the title bar will look slightly different if you are running on Windows):Now you’re ready to start converting your PDF files.Steps – Part 2 – Creating your image files from your PDF.1. Drag a PDF into the application window.2. Wait a while!3. Eventually you’ll see the following message:4. Now open the Song Lyrics/Chords… window in Gig Performer:5. Click on the Edit tab:6. Now just paste the contents of the clipboard directly into this window (Cmd+V on Mac, Ctrl+V on Windows). Your Window will look like this (obviously, with different file names):7. Click on the View tab to see your sheet music:8. Remember to save the newly created ChordPro as usual.Steps – Part 3 – Tweaking the results (optional).If you look closely at the ChordPro directives that were generated, you’ll notice that before each image directive, there is a songpartname directive, with increasing numbers. The songpartname is new in Gig Performer 4 (another reason to upgrade, see what’s new!) and when you are switching from one song part to another, the lyrics view will scroll automatically so you see the sheet music associated with the particular song part. Unless you want to name your song parts 1,2,3… you will want to change the entries for each songpartname directive in the ChordPro text file to match whatever song part names you have used in your song.You can of course add or insert other ChordPro directives as needed.Conclusion.PDFToGPChordPro is a useful helper tool that will expedite your creation of ChordPro files if you are starting from PDFs.As mentioned earlier, this tool is not officially supported but you are welcome to discuss it on our community forums.Appendix- the XpdfReader.If you are interested, you can download the underlying PDF to Image conversion tool from the Xpdf website..Related topics:– How to use ChordPro files in Gig Performer?

October 20th, 2022It is with great sadness that we share with you the passing of one of our company’s co-founders, Nebojsa Djogo, at the age of 52.Originally from Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Nebojsa relocated to Ottawa, Ontario, to pursue a successful career in computer programming. It was there in 1999 that Nebojsa first met Deskew co-founder Dr. David Jameson, who came from IBM Research, having held a series of senior positions. Nebojsa was subsequently hired for some contract work at David’s first startup, DigiPortal Software. Recognizing that their approach to programming was strikingly similar, David and Nebojsa created Deskew Technologies a couple of years later to explore opportunities in which they could collaborate closely.David, who considered Nebojsa one of his closest friends, remembers him as a gifted programmer who was meticulous when it came to usability and a program’s front-end look and feel.But it was David’s and Nebojsa’s shared love for music and live performance that galvanized their 20-year working relationship. Each of them made live performances an active part of their lives, Nebojsa playing guitar and David playing keyboards in different bands. And while Nebojsa’s initial interest was in world music, he later embraced electronic music and MIDI-based programming.As talented performers, David and Nebojsa recognized early on that the software available to live musicians simply wasn’t good enough. They saw an opportunity to change the live performance world by building something better based on their own experience on stage. The result was Gig Performer.Nebojsa worked passionately on Gig Performer and was relentlessly dedicated to serving musicians using the software, until his illness took its toll. Yet to the end, he was very kind, diplomatic and helpful in the community, and will be greatly missed.In remembering Nebojsa, our team remains deeply committed to building Gig Performer and to continuing to bring powerful new features to our groundbreaking, live performance software. But at this moment, we at Deskew Technologies believe it is important to recognize Nebojsa for his immense talent as a computer programmer, his passion for music, his lasting friendship, and his vast contribution to our company, today and always.The Deskew Technologies Team.

If you’re looking for an American-made Fender guitar then the Performer and Professional ranges are the most affordable options to look at. In this article, I’ll be comparing the American Performer and Professional II ranges of the Stratocaster, Telecaster and Jazzmaster so you know which series is best for you. The Quick AnswerThe main differences between the Fender American Performer and American Professional guitars are the neck profile and pickups. American Professional II guitars have thicker necks and higher output pickups giving them a more modern tone compared to the American Performer guitars. The American Professional series is approximately $300 (or £400 in the UK) more expensive than the American Performer series of guitars, but does include a number of upgrades such as:Sculpted neck heel (all models)Additional switching options (on the Tele and Jazzmaster models)Bone nut (instead of synthetic bone on all models)Tremolo system improvements (on Strat and Jazzmaster models)Hard-Shell Case (instead of a soft gig-bag with all models)Which Models are Available?The Fender American Performer range only includes right-handed versions of the Stratocaster, Telecaster and Jazzmaster, whereas the American Professional II range includes left-handed versions as well. Only the American Performer range includes the Mustang shape. Here is a table showing all the models (and pickup configurations) available at the time of writing in the American Performer and Professional II series. RH = right handed version, LH = left-handed version.

The American Performer has a slightly thinner neck profile and has more of a vintage tone compared to the higher-output pickups in the American Professional II. Here’s a link to my guide to the different Fender neck profiles if you are looking for more detail. The American Professional has a 2-point tremolo whereas the American Performer has a 6-point tremolo. Check out my comparison between 2 and 6 point tremolos to learn more. The American Professional II Strat is around $300 more expensive than the American Performer Strat, however the Professional II does come with a hard-shell case compared to the Performer’s soft-case.

Kind of thing that would be better implemented with a scriptlet that could generate a range of pitchbend values over some defined time period Does such a kind of scriptlet exist? I had a look at the MIDI Monitor to see what happens if I have a pitch bend in the notation of Guitar Pro. Guitar Pro is sending Pitch Wheel Data as you can see in the screenshot. As VST in Guitar Pro I use for this test Falcon. The problem is that Falcon is not responding to this Pitch Wheel Data. I don’t know if there is a way to make Falcon or another Synth VST really interpreting this Pitch Wheel Data correctly so that you can hear an actual Pitch Bend. I hope this doesn’t sound to confusing. dhj September 1, 2023, 7:27pm 8 Not really – here’s a hack I just created to show how it could be done but this should be considered a starting point — probably not usable as is – I regret I don’t have time to create a polished all-encompassing version.PitchBendGenerator.gig (90.5 KB) Thank you. I understand, but could you maybe explain this a little bit. How is this supposed to work? npudar September 1, 2023, 8:58pm 10 Maybe Auto Mover can be useful here: [Gig] Auto move - timer based Thank you. I will have a look at this. As another option I wonder if there is a way to transform the pitch wheel input (which is generated by Guitar Pro and which doesn’t look so bad) into a real pitch bend sound within Gig Performer. This would be also useful because the other option to transform Note ONs from Guitar Pro into Pitchbend doesn’t work because the MIDI Filter doesn’t offer this. It transforms only CCs. When I adjust in Falcon the pitch bend range from 2 semitones to 12 semitones it seems that the pitch wheel input from Guitar Pro is interpreted correctly by Falcon. I still have to verify this in a more profound way, but on the first glance it seems that I am on the right track. xpander January 27, 2024, 8:00pm 13 Hi,Your PitchBendGenerator.gigconst MinPitchBendValue : integer = 0 MaxPitchBendValue : integer = 16383 CenterPitch : integer = 8192var StartPitch : parameter MinPitchBendValue ..

But it annoys me. Heck... even the bloody Windows "Start" menu seems more practical than the dock. Rant over. I remember the good old days of OSX 8 where I had that add on app that allowed the menu bar dropdown and menus drilling down - Butler doesn't seem as good as that. The dock is annoying when you are working. I will try this Desk Shade - I get annoyed with Reason getting in the way at times when I switch between DP windows manually. Rant away - its all about good ideas and "progess" isn't always what it seems - the dock a case in point.
