Question
QUESTION: I have Guitar Pro and created a note which plays drum so I can play my Yamaha p70 along with it.
My question is how to play that through my digital piano?
is that even possible?
I am new with midi stuff and all I know is how to play a piano.

ANSWER: Sorry Kyu... I have no idea what you are asking here... can you be more specific by replacing some of the pronouns in your question with specific nouns. Thanks.

QUESTION: Is it possible for me to output a midi file from my computer using a program Guitar Pro to my electric piano (Yamaha P70) so that while that file is playing I can also interact on the piano?
Basically can I make it so that my piano playing and the file output on my piano at the same time?

Answer
You will need to do/have the following:

- P70 connected to your computer via MIDI in/out or USB interface.
- P70 set to "LOCAL OFF"
- MIDI track set up in Guitar Pro to output MIDI to the P70.
- MIDI track set to receive OMNI and echo the MIDI data to the P70.
- At this point, playing the P70 will send MIDI to Guitar Pro, which will send it back to the P70 and play the sounds on it.
- But the difference, is that you can now record these notes in Guitar Pro, and then edit them and play them back on the P70.
- You can also play the keyboard while these notes are playing back... at the same time. Which is, I think, what you are looking to do.
- You will also need to have the P70 connected to headphones or speakers to hear the sound.

Let me know if you have any further questions...
