Guitar Pro Midi to Pro Tools Octave Question

[11R0]

Hi All,

I have setup Guitar Pro to output midi to Pro Tools so that when I click play on Guitar Pro, sound is output from VST hosted by Pro Tools.
Guitar Pro -> LoopBe1 -> Pro Tools -> Instrument Plugin (VST)

I noticed the standard notation for guitar instrument in Guitar Pro is
E3 A3 D4 G4 B4 E5, I do understand that guitar sounds an octave lower than it is written, hence E2 A2 D3 G3 B3 E4 is the standard notation for guitar. This also applies to bass instrument in Guitar Pro.

My question is when Guitar Pro output midi to Pro Tools, does the midi contain E3 A3 D4 G4 B4 E5 notation or E2 A2 D3 G3 B3 E4? If Midi output from Guitar Pro to Pro Tools contains E3 A3 D4 G4 B4 E5, does it mean the VST will output sound one octave higher than how it should sound?

With my setup above, do I need to make any changes in Guitar Pro or Pro Tools with regards to transposition (octave) or the transposition is automatically done by Guitar Pro such that at the end of the day, the VST will output sound in the right octave (eg. E2 A2 D3 G3 B3 E4 for guitar)?

Cheers.
