[@exiledmonastic4650]

Sorry for being so superficial but I love how the color of your shirt matches the color of your tracks :)

[@SupercyMusic]

Thanks 😄

Dude thank you so much! I can't express enough gratitude for you taking the time to make this really straight forward tutorial you rock 🤘🤘🤘

[@MorganWallaceMusic]

This is the cutest & incredibly helpful - thanks so much!

[@SupercyMusic]

Thank you, Morgan 😉

[@CaleMoonCountry]

This is the only useful tutorial I’ve found for exporting midi with Studio One. Even the PreSonus website gave me bad advice lol Thank you for this, Percy! Saved me a ton of time!!

[@SupercyMusic]

You're very welcome, Cale! Glad it was helpful 👍🏻

[@billyplayle4124]

Thanks Percy. I only needed the bass midi part in a song I'm working on but I went to 'file' - 'save as' and then choosing 'midi' in the drop down menu. When I opened the saved file back into studio one, it saved all the other midi tracks as well. Now you've explained where I was going wrong. Cheers!

[@SupercyMusic]

That's great to hear, Billy! Glad it helped 😉👍

[@user-gy4xp2tu6f]

​@@SupercyMusic help, i'm having a problem with exporting. When i export the song into Midi and then Audio and try to line them up both on a video software, the Midi File is longer than the audio file. How do i fix this so that both are in sync?

[@pbenson56fran]

Percy I have to ask you a question. I have gone back and forth with this in my head. I understand how to import midi files into Studio One. I work in Finale and transfer the files into Studio One. So, all my files are Synth instruments. On my mixer in Finale I write Jazz songs. So, from the information I've learned the instrumentation should be what you see on a stage. The Bass is panned Right slightly off centered, the guitar would be on the Right slightly side...Piano, clave,and other instruments would be panned left or right. The only thing that is center would be a drum kit and synth vocals. So The question is on my fader would the instruments that are planned left and right in Finale be Centered? If so please explain why it would be. It would help me greatly to understand mixing. And the Channel Mode would that be in mono for those same tracks or stereo? Remember those tracks are all midi files coming from Finale. I hope you understand what I am saying. Thank you very much Percy Jules. Have a great night sir.

[@generalmidistudio]

recommended plugin for playing midi song is edirol hyper canvas and samplelord for percussion sound with soundfonts

[@rafaeleduardopaez]

Thanks!, easy and simple, is that all I need

[@SupercyMusic]

You're welcome! 😉👍

[@johnthelad]

I use Studio One Ver 5.2. Can you tell me why, when I drag a downloaded midi file onto the DAW sometimes it will ask 'Do you want to load General Midi sounds?' and sometimes not.

[@Willigrow]

will all midi tracks be merged into one when importing into logic?

[@bjazz68]

Thanks very much. (and the track sounded just fine to me if I may say 🙂)

[@gordonfreeman9368]

Thanks for help!

[@SupercyMusic]

No problem! 😉

[@OkieEkoWardoyo]

Hi man, when importing midi files, you have created some tracks with instrument like impact , presence and so on. What about if you no create that tracks before?

[@joehernandez1410]

I didnt creat any tracks, I just dragged the midi file onto the session and it created the tracks on it own, but I cant hear the tracks tho

[@luiscolmenares4762]

Thank you Sir

[@tristan_gaia]

Thanks bro!

[@ZoltanHagg]

Great song! Remind me SEGA music) Also it sounds almost like Aphex Twin album "Melodies From Mars")))

[@sledgehammernosejob]

Guestion: I have layered midi in a one drum map/ channel. Only the layer on top can be copy pasted it seems. Is there a way to copy paste all layers?

[@sledgehammernosejob]

I have found it, It's called merge event (G). I selected it, and all the informaion is in 1 midi track. now i can copy / paste all info at once.

[@elballatore]

GRACIAS AMIGO. MUY BUENO

any chance anyone knows how to troubleshoot export midi. i could do it with the regular wav tracks. i can not do midi. the window does not show.

Thanks !

[@SupercyMusic]

You're welcome, Nahuel 👍

[@sunnyzaman]

Thanks very much. But I have S1 4. And I do not see a midi export option. Does this not exist?

[@SupercyMusic]

Hello Ahsan, The export midi option also exists in S1 4. Actually, the same method shown in the video applies to S1 4. So if you select any midi parts, go to the event menu and choose "Export Selection". Don't forget to change the file type to MIdi File and save it anywhere on your computer. Please let me know this works. If this doesn't work it sounds like some kind of error. In that case, I would advise you contact Presonus.

[@TarverdiyevRafael]

nice song

[@SupercyMusic]

Thank you Rafael ;-)

Just like cause of your cheesy song and dancing altogether.. thanks for making world better :) Headbanging here in Brazil..

[@HarelRingvalD]

THK

[@iamtheimagedoctor]

NOTE-I have never seen this information in any manual or video: If you are importing a MIDI file that was recorded on a DAW not using a click (free loose tempo jazz, etc) you must have your DAW set to the same tempo as the DAW it was recorded on even if that tempo has nothing to do with the approximate tempo of the performance.

[@BunkerAudioPanama]

Sounds tropical and uplifting. Would make a great kids song TBH!

[@b1na276]

how do export midi file as mp3 from studio one?

[@SupercyMusic]

Hello Alysa, To export a midi file as an mp3 file you would basically have to convert it. One way to do that would be to go to the "song" menu, then select "export mixdown", change the format to mp3 and then click "ok". I'll try to do another video about that soon. 😉

[@antoniodesanto9372]

ok ma come si a esportare nel midifile formato 0? Grazie

[@hold00323]

thx!!!!!

[@robaneko]

Can you say Carnival Music? My 1st Impression of your 5 track midi loop was: I hit the Lottery and the Lotto Corp is playing Your Sound Track...as they celebrate my pick 5 winning ticket.

[@marinelgheorghilas6073]

Okay. I want to listen to this midi in korg pa 4x. All tracks are condensed in Track 1 of pa 4x. I want every track in Studio One to match a 4x pa track (or another external sequencer). I do not know either the studio one can not. In Cubase you can. Anticipated thanks for the answer.

[@SupercyMusic]

Hi Marinel, I'm not absolutely sure I understand your question. Do you want Studio One to send midi to the Korg PA4X?

[@rafetjulevic2743]

Yes I have the same question. We have a midi file created from a pa4x arranger on studio one, and the pa4x connected to our computer. We want all the midi info playing out of our pa4x when we play from studio one. Basically routing the midi out and having all the information playing correctly from our pa4x.

[@rafetjulevic2743]

@@SupercyMusic did you figure out how to do this?

[@J3.16-]

Thanks

[@montazownianr1]

Why when I try import midi file into existing song SO4 open new song?

[@SupercyMusic]

Sorry to hear that! To be honest, I haven't experienced that particular issue, so, unfortunately, I don't think I can help you with that. You could try to contact Presonus, maybe they'll have a solution for you.

[@redplanet9162]

I have the same problem. Trying to import midi clip into existing track, ONLY opens new song :( . Mr Jules, love your style, tho

[@HarelRingvalD]

thank

[@oexsunsetbeach]

so You removed them and returned them, be a lot more helpful to see how you set up the tracks you already had. I bought a midi song drum track and am baffled on loading it correctly

[@JessiJordan]

just drag it from the folder on your desktop into the DAW

[@JessiJordan]

you dont have to set up the tracks before hand

[@bensenboom5730]

thight dance skillz

[@renoruberts]

But. All the 16 channels got merged and exported as 1 channel Damm Studio one!!

[@kookle658]

Thanks for the great video! When I click "open" I successfully import a single MIDI file, but when I click open again, to add a second MiDI file, it replaces the existing one?! Anyone else have this problem?

[@kookle658]

My MIDI files are exported from BandLab.

[@mickavoidant4780]

Over 4 minutes to tell us select / event / export selection / save as mid. Skip to 1:58 for the start.

[@cybernitemusic]

Seems many of us are doing the switch from Mac / Logic to Win19 / S1

[@SupercyMusic]

I think you're right, I've also noticed that 😉

[@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

sorry, but that doesn't explain how it'll adapt tempo for import. you should have imported to empty song

[@eduardoandreoli3118]

looks like icecream truck song lol

[@Goran-Mogli]

Do you know the answer to why Studio One does not support the General Midi format? When the midi comes out, only the piano plays on all the tracks ...

[@NonsenseTreasure]

Doesn't work for me in Studio One 5. It makes a new song instead of adding to the existing one. I guess Studio One is completely useless then

[@izzyizzm8761]

Did you ever figure out how to import midi without creating a new song? Aggravated 😩

[@NonsenseTreasure]

@@izzyizzm8761 open it creating a new song, than export the midi channels separately, than import one by one. It's super dumb but works. Option 2: use any other DAW and never bother

[@izzyizzm8761]

@@NonsenseTreasure I am switching from Nuendo /Cubase to studio one all because of the Splitter in the routing!! and the vst management ... My master track needed some parallel processing and Cubase and Intel can Kiss it.. thanks
