Some MIDI files will contain more than one MIDI Part in the sequence. If this is the case, a drop-
down arrow will be next to the file in the Browser; click the drop-down arrow to reveal the
independent Parts. If you drag in a file with multiple Parts, they will all be shown when
dragging the file into your Song.
As with all Instrument Tracks, you will need to ensure the new Instrument Track is routed to a
virtual or external instrument in order to hear the new Instrument Part. Refer to the
Monitoring an Instrument Track section of the "Recording" chapter for more information.
You can also drag a MIDI file directly onto virtual instruments that support drag-and-drop MIDI
importing.
7.2.7 Preview MIDI Files from the Browser
When any MIDI file is selected in the Browser, you can preview the MIDI file through any virtual
instrument loaded in the Song. To do this, select a MIDI file, then select Instrument Track in the
arrangement and it will appear in the Preview Player as the selected channel.
Now, when you start playback with the Preview Player, the MIDI file will play through the
virtual instrument to which that Instrument Track is routed. You can switch Instrument Tracks
on the fly to audition a part quickly through many different instruments.
7.2.8 Export a MIDI File
To export an Instrument Part to a MIDI file, [Right]/ [Control]-click on the Part and select Export
Parts to MIDI File. Choose a file name and storage location in the pop-up menu and click OK. A
Standard MIDI File will be created with a .MID file extension.
Multiple Instrument Parts can be exported at once to a single file. To do this, select the desired
Parts and use the same process as above. One MIDI file will be created that includes individual
MIDI clips for each Part, in the correct sequence, with a common start time.
You can also drag-and-drop any Instrument Part to a location in the File Browser to export a
MIDI file to that location. If you drag-and-drop multiple parts at once, they will be written to
one MIDI file with multiple Parts.
Standard MIDI Files exported from Studio One can be used by virtually any application that
supports MIDI.
