Extract MIDI Dialog
The Extract MIDI dialog allows you to specify which audio data is used when creating a MIDI part with the Extract MIDI function.
-
To open the Extract MIDI dialog, open the VariAudio section of the Sample Editor Inspector, activate Edit VariAudio in the VariAudio section, and, in the Functions menu, click Extract MIDI.

The following pop-up menus are available:
Pitch Extraction Mode
Allows you to specify which data is included if you extract MIDI. The following options are available:
- Just Notes and No Pitchbend Data
-
Extracts MIDI notes only.
- Notes and Static Pitchbend Data
-
Extracts pitchbend events for each segment. In the Pitchbend Range field, you can specify a pitchbend value from 1 to 24.
NoteIf you work with an external MIDI device, set it to the same Pitchbend Range value.
- Notes and Continuous Pitchbend Data
-
Extracts pitchbend events that correspond to the pitch curve. In the Pitchbend Range field, you can specify a pitchbend value from 1 to 24.
NoteIf you work with an external MIDI device, set it to the same Pitchbend Range value.
- Notes and NoteExp Pitchbend Curve
-
Extracts pitchbend events that correspond to the pitch curve. They are saved as Note Expression data for the resulting MIDI notes.
- Notes and NoteExp VST 3 Tuning Curve
-
Extracts VST 3 events for the Tuning parameter. They are created as Note Expression data for the resulting MIDI notes.
NoteThis only works with a connected VST instrument that is compatible with Note Expression.
Volume Mode
Allows you to specify how to extract volume information from the audio. The following options are available:
- Fixed Velocity
-
Assigns the same velocity to all MIDI notes. In the Velocity field, you can specify a velocity value.
- Dynamic Velocity
-
Assigns an individual velocity value to each MIDI note according to the amplitude of the audio signal.
- Volume Controller Curve
-
Creates a continuous volume controller curve within the MIDI part. In the MIDI Controller field, you can specify the MIDI controller.
- NoteExp Volume Controller Curve
-
Extracts MIDI volume controller events. These are created as Note Expression data for the resulting MIDI notes.
- NoteExp VST 3 Volume Curve
-
Extracts a VST 3 volume curve. This is created as Note Expression data for the resulting MIDI notes.
NoteThis option only works with a connected VST instrument that is compatible with Note Expression.
Destination
Allows you to specify where the MIDI part is placed. The following options are available:
- First Selected Track
-
Places the MIDI part on the first selected MIDI or instrument track. Any MIDI parts from previous extractions on this track are deleted.
- New MIDI Track
-
Creates a new MIDI track for the MIDI part.
- Project Clipboard
-
Copies the MIDI part into the clipboard. This option allows you to insert it at the desired position on a MIDI or instrument track in the Project window.
If you open the Sample Editor from the Pool and the audio file is not part of your project, the MIDI part is inserted at the beginning of the project.
