1. Select the Pattern you want to export MIDI from (see section ↑11.7.2, Selecting Patterns
and Pattern Banks).
2. To export MIDI from the entire Group, switch the Pattern Editor to Group view and right-
click ([Ctrl]-click on macOS) the desired Group in the Group List (left of the Arranger) to
open its context menu. You can also right-click ([Ctrl]-click on macOS) the Group name
above the Sound List.
To export MIDI from a particular Sound only, right-click ([Ctrl]-click on macOS) the de-
sired Sound slot in the Sound List (left of the Pattern Editor) to open its context menu.
3. Select Export MIDI… in the context menu (the picture below shows the context menu for
a Sound).
4. In the Export MIDI dialog that opens, navigate to the desired location on your computer,
type a name for the MIDI file and click Save to confirm.
→ The MIDI file is exported to the selected location.
Sounds which do not contain note events in a Group Pattern are exported as empty MIDI
tracks. This way, if you are exporting multiple Patterns and some Sounds in the Group only
have notes in some of these Patterns, you will get a consistent assignment of notes to MIDI
tracks across all exported Patterns. Also, when you export a Pattern and then re-import it into
MASCHINE, the notes will always be mapped to the correct Sounds.
