I knew the learning curve would be steep based on all the reading I have done. I think I will just connect guitar pro to the cd/mp3 input and play the gp files and play along with them. I have literally 10s of thousands. It is one great tool to learn to play songs which builds my skills. Thanks for all the input. And I love the HD500X.

Thanks for the response. I am actually gaining knowledge. I think what I want to do is get some DAW software and record what I play. Then export as MIDI and import into Guitar Pro. Thoughts on this?

I want to thank you for the reply. Although I have read much on the POD my overall knowledge of MIDI was giving me a serious case of overload. I did catch a video where a guy was using a MIDI pickup to create notation directly in guitar pro. I expected too much to think that the MIDI out would act like a MIDI pickup. Right!? Ok, so only commands like program changes and controls. From what I read Midi commands do exist that describe notes. Isn't this how the MIDI pickup is working? Is this correct? I do have a Presonus AudioBox USB 96. It has MIDI in/out. Again I would expect that this is commands only just like the POD. Seems MIDI keyboards, pickups are the way the technology is designed to do what I was thinking. There are no devices like the POD or AudioBox that the MIDI is designed to interpret the notes from a standard pickups on guitars? Correct?

I would like to play my guitar on my HD500X and send the midi out directly to my Guitar Pro. It this even possible?
