Tonograph 1.1
Features
A tab editor with instrument panels under the score, an audio engine you assemble yourself, input from a guitar you plug in, AI that works on the open score, .gp compatibility in both directions, and print-quality output.
The editor
Keyboard-first, with undo on everything, and notation coverage wide enough that .gp files arrive with their articulations intact.
Fretboard, keyboard, drum pads
The panel under the score follows the track you are on. It lights up as the score plays, and takes input when playback stops.
Plug in your guitarNew in 1.1
Connect an audio interface or a microphone to tune your guitar, hear it through the track’s pedalboard and teach Tonograph the tone of your strings. The sound is processed on your computer and is never stored or sent.
Play notes inNew in 1.1
Turn on audio note input and play: each single note is written at the cursor with the current note value, and the cursor moves on. Or play along with a click and get a quantized score.
Resonance Engine
The playback path is yours to build. It is not a fixed sound set with a reverb knob on the end.
AI (MCP)
Tonograph is an MCP server. An AI client on the same computer can read the score you have open, edit it, and look at the rendered notation to check its own work.
.gp compatibility
Your library comes in and what you write goes back out: Tonograph opens the .gp and .gpx files of Guitar Pro 6, 7 and 8 and writes .gp — with its own code, and no library in between.
Export and print
Paper, PDF and .gp for everyone you play with, plus MIDI for other software and WAV audio rendered by the Resonance Engine.
