Everything Your Band Needs

From uploading tabs to performing live. One platform, zero friction.

Tab Management

Upload Guitar Pro files (.gp, .gp3, .gp4, .gp5) and MusicXML. Organize your entire catalog by song and band.

Version Control

Upload new versions without losing old ones. Track every change, see full version history, and roll back anytime.

Tab Diffing

Compare two versions side-by-side. See exactly which bars changed across every track. Insertions, deletions, and modifications.

Browser Playback

Play tabs directly in your dashboard. Full controls: speed, per-track mute/solo/volume, loop sections, and cursor follow.

Band Collaboration

Invite your bandmates, share the same catalog, and work on music together. Everyone stays on the same page.

Setlists

Build custom setlists from your catalog. Run through your whole set in order. Perfect for rehearsal and live performance.

Sound Checks

Before a new version goes live, the band reviews the changes. Add bar-level comments, then approve or dismiss.

Metronome Generator

Extract tempo from any Guitar Pro file and generate a click track. Download WAV files for offline practice.

Workflow

A simple workflow that keeps everyone in sync.

Upload your tabs

Drop your Guitar Pro files into ControlTab. We support .gp, .gp3, .gp4, .gp5, and MusicXML formats.

Collaborate with your band

Invite your bandmates. Everyone sees the same catalog, can upload new versions, and review changes together.

Diff Your Guitar
Tabs Like Code

When someone uploads a new arrangement, ControlTab compares it bar-by-bar. Your band reviews changes in a Sound Check. Leave comments tied to specific bars and approve before anything goes live.
