What Noterix is
Noterix is a guitar tablature and standard notation editor for Windows and the web. It provides real-time playback, effects, audio recording, MIDI output, and a multichannel mixer. Scores support up to eight tracks, changing time signatures and keys, guitar articulations, and complex rhythms. Its audio engine includes a SoundFont 2.0 library, selectable 44.1, 48, and 96 kHz rates, tempo mapping, and MIDI output for external devices or DAWs. Per-track effects include amp simulation, cabinet impulse loading, distortion, EQ, reverb, delay, compression, noise gate, and chorus or flanger. Practice tools offer looping, tempo reduction by up to 75% without pitch change, metronome scheduling, count-in, and A/B comparison. It imports compatible Guitar Pro 7/8 files and has limited GPIF-based GPX support, but not GP3/4/5 files. The app costs 109.99 USD once; Pro is $9.99 a month and Studio $19.99 a month.
