NOTE
You can also drag MIDI loops onto existing instrument or MIDI tracks. However, this only imports
the part information. This means this part only contains the MIDI data (notes, controllers) that is
saved in the MIDI loop, but no Inspector settings or instrument parameters.

Exporting MIDI Loops
You can export MIDI loops to save a MIDI part together with its instrument and effect settings.

3. In the Save MIDI Loop dialog, enter a name for the MIDI loop.

section at the bottom left.
The Attribute Inspector section opens, allowing you to dene attributes for your MIDI loop.
5. Click OK.
RESULT

The default folder cannot be changed. However, you can create subfolders within this folder to
organize your MIDI loops. To create a subfolder, click
New Folder in the Save MIDI Loop dialog.
