Once upon a time I found a program that would do the conversion from MIDI to TAB and back. Then my hard disk went away–now I want to install that puppy again and can’t find it. Can someone help me?

Do you mean [Power Tab](http://www.power-tab.net/)? I use it for writing tabs and making MIDI’s, but I’m not sure if it works the other way around. I find it to be very useful, at any rate.

That’s it, thank you. For some reason I had “Super Tab” in my mind–and, of course, that’s not it.

Power Tab, Power Tab, Power Tab. Sheesh.
