ahoy all, just wondering if there is a way to export a single MIDI segment in RG to a MIDI file? it seems like no matter which MIDI segment is currently selected, the File/Export/MIDI features exports the entire session (i.e. all MIDI segments) as a single MIDI file. thanks, Wayne |

I think you can do this by muting all the other tracks. That is, I'm not sure if you could export just one segment from a track, but if you make a track with only the one segment you wish to export in it and mute all other tracks, you should get a midi file with only the one segment in it. Hope it helps, ~Bas.

I don't think so. But I'm not exactly an authority on midi, so maybe someone else can help you with this. ~Bas. > > thanks again. > > peace, Wayne > > > > >> >> Hope it helps, >> >> ~Bas. >> >> >> >> On Tue, 26 Jul 2011 22:15:57 +0200, Wayne <wa...@in...> wrote: >> >> > ahoy all, >> > >> > just wondering if there is a way to export a single MIDI segment >> in >> > RG to a MIDI file? it seems like no matter which MIDI segment is >> > currently selected, the File/Export/MIDI features exports the entire >> > session (i.e. all MIDI segments) as a single MIDI file. >> > >> > thanks, Wayne >> > >> > >> >> > > -- Using Opera's revolutionary email client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ |

I suppose you could go into the tempo and time signature editor and delete all the tempo and time changes before exporting. (You should be able to undo this, but I'd work on a copy just in case.) That wouldn't remove ALL of the information, and you'd wind up exporting in 4/4 time at 120 bpm. I'm not sure if MIDI files absolutely have to have a time signature, but they do absolutely have to have at least one tempo. For that matter, I don't think we export all tempo information correctly anyway. Our MIDI export functionality isn't the greatest, and there are several things we don't support properly, or at all. -- D. Michael McIntyre |

I'm afraid we're really past the point where I should have just stepped out of the discussion and let someone else talk. I'm being vague about all of this, because I practically never use the MIDI export feature myself, and I'm not that familiar with its strengths and weaknesses. I'm mostly going on weak memories of old bug reports and old discussions from quite some time ago. Really, I'm probably doing everybody more harm than good trying to remember and talk about the problems with that thing at all. It would be best to find a real example of something that doesn't work quite right, and then start talking from there. I know there are problems with the MIDI export, but I really don't have a sharp, well-focused understanding of quite what they are, or how to cope with them. -- D. Michael McIntyre |
