All MIDI objects which open external synthesizers via a MIDI interface will have
to be converted into audio objects if you want them to be exported as well.
They only contain control information for sound reproduction.
For this to happen, the output of the MIDI synthesizer (e.g. the sound card)
must be connected to the input of the sound card. The MIDI data can then be
played and recorded simultaneously via the record function. The result is an
audio file that can be edited and exported together with the multimedia files.
MIDI settings
Here you can specify which MIDI devices (view page 474) to use in Samplitude
11.5 Producer.
MIDI: Import, record, edit
Recording MIDI tracks
Just as with the routing settings of audio tracks, you can also tell the program
which MIDI input to use.
Open the track settings dialog by right clicking on the field that contains the
track name (track info box). In the "MIDI" section of the track settings, select
the "MIDI recording device" which your keyboard or external sequencer is
connected to. Select the MIDI playback device you use as the "Playback
device" or MIDI output device, e.g. "MIDI out" of your sound card or a VST
instrument. In the same dialog, activate the "MIDI" button in the "Recording"
section.
Note: You can activate the MIDI section of the track editor ("Menu window ->
Track editor") by clicking the "MIDI" button in the track box. Now right click
"Rec" to select the MIDI input device as well as the instrument outputs of each
selected playback device. You should also check the instrument outputs if the
MIDI signal in the level display can be seen but no sound can be heard, and
then adjust this to the MIDI output device (VST instrument).
