8.3 : Exporting MIDI
To an export an edit as a MIDI le:
• Open your edit for editing.
• With the edit open in the edit page, click the
export button in the control section.
• From the displayed pop-up menu, choose the
export MIDI le... option.
Note: When exporting MIDI for tracks that contain VSTis, be aware that any automation data on the
track will be lost.
File: This option controls where the exported MIDI le will be saved. Tracktion automatically selects a
location inside your project folder and names it appropriately based on the edit and the number of exports
you have made.
Only render marked region: When this option is selected, Tracktion will export only the area between
the loop markers.
Only render selected tracks/clips: If one or more tracks or clips are selected, this option becomes
available and Tracktion will export only the currently selected track(s) or clip(s).
Pass MIDI through lters in the edit: Typically only MIDI data contained in MIDI clips will be exported.
When this option is enabled, any MIDI generated or altered by lters in the edit, will also be included in
the exported MIDI le. Note, many lters do not pass MIDI data though to their outputs. If you render a
track with such a lter present, and this option active, the MIDI data will be blocked by the lter. There-
fore, to avoid MIDI data being lost during exporting, you may generally wish to leave this option off.
Render each track to a separate le: When this option is selected Tracktion will export a separate
MIDI le for every track in the edit. When this option is disabled, Tracktion simply creates one single
MIDI le of the entire mix.
Render at 1x play-speed: Some 3rd party plug-ins get confused when made to process MIDI at faster
than normal play-speed. Whilst this option will greatly slow down renders, it may be worth trying if a
plug-in produces unexpected results in the exported MIDI.
