Export Options for MIDI Files

If this option is activated, the MIDI patch settings in the Inspector - Bank Select and Program Select (used for selecting sounds in the connected MIDI instrument) are included as MIDI Bank Select and Program Change events in the MIDI file.

If this option is activated, Volume and Pan settings made in the Inspector are included as MIDI Volume and Pan events in the MIDI file.

If this option is activated, the automation data (just as it is heard during playback) is converted to MIDI controller events and included in the MIDI file. This also includes automation recorded with the MIDI Control plug-in.

Note that if a continuous controller (CC7, for example) has been recorded but the Read button is deactivated for the automation track (that is the automation is effectively switched off for this parameter), only the part data for this controller will be exported.

If this option is deactivated and the Read Automation button is activated, no continuous controllers will be exported. If the Read button is deactivated, the controller data of the MIDI part are exported (these will now be handled like “regular” part data).

It is recommended to activate the “Export Automation” option.

If this option is activated and you are using MIDI modifiers or any MIDI plug-ins as insert effects, the modifications to the original MIDI notes that occur as a result of the effects will be included in the MIDI file. A MIDI delay, for example, will produce a number of repeats to a MIDI note by actually adding additional, “echoing” notes at rhythmic intervals - these notes will be included in the MIDI file if the option is activated.

If this option is activated and you are using any MIDI plug-ins as send effects, the modifications to the original MIDI notes that occur as a result of the effects will be included in the MIDI file.

If this option is activated, any markers you have added will be included in the MIDI file as Standard MIDI File Marker events.

If this option is activated, the MIDI file will be of Type 0 (all data on a single track, but on different MIDI channels). If you do not check this option, the MIDI file will be of Type 1 (data on separate tracks). Which type to choose depends on what you want to do with the MIDI file (in which application or sequencer it is to be used).

You can specify a MIDI resolution between 24 and 960 for the MIDI file. The resolution is the number of pulses, or ticks, per quarter note (PPQ) and determines the precision with which you will be able to view and edit the MIDI data. The higher the resolution, the higher the precision. The resolution should be chosen depending on the application or sequencer with which the MIDI file will be used though, because certain applications and sequencers may not be able to handle certain resolutions.

If this option is activated, only the range between the left and right locator will be exported.

If this option is activated, any delay settings you have made in the Inspector will be included in the MIDI file.
