Guitar Tablature · SynthTab / TabCNN

Choose SynthTab Universal, GuitarSet, EGDB or IDMT for clean/acoustic and matched guitar domains, or GuitarProFX TabCNN for electric-guitar tones and effects. The models predict six-string fret positions; TelkNet exports note events, six-track MIDI and timestamped tablature.

After inference, Beat This final0 writes a valid fixed tempo or beat-by-beat tempo map into the MIDI while preserving every event's position in seconds. If valid beat evidence cannot be produced, the task fails instead of delivering MIDI with the model's default tempo.

CrispASR supplies a probability grid. Playable fingering is fixed TelkNet post-processing (top 3, beam 24, maximum hand span 5), not an official model parameter or user control.

Workflow

1Upload solo guitar and choose a model for its acoustic or electric tone.
2Download tablature and MIDI, then check strings and frets against the recording.
