4Pockets Strummer question

BillS

Is it possible to export the MIDI so I can use it in a Desktop DAW?
Thanks

No dont think you can export midi clips from the UI. You could easily record into another app like LK, Helium or ATOM and export a midi clip from there though

Good thinking, thank you!

OK, I tried this and failed spectacularly!

• Recorded audio from Strummer into my desktop DAW (Studio One) - the result is as expected:

• Opened the audio in Studio One with Melodyne, using the polyphonic decay algorithm, used Melodyne's Save as MIDI function, then pasted the MIDI onto a guitar patch in Omnisphere - the result is horrible (sorry if you listen to this...)

Normally, Melodyne is pretty good at extracting MIDI from audio! Any ideas why this abomination is happening?!

You don't need to record the audio, just point the midi out from Strummer to your favourite midi recorder. I can't check right now but I don't see why it shouldn't work.

I don't think I am able to get midi out of iPad and into a Windows DAW

There are apps to do it but might be other solutions.

I know these apps but never used them.

@BillS the original suggestion was to record the midi into something like Atom2, export to a midi file, then import the midi file into your DAW. There are lots of ways to get a file from your iOS device over to a Windows PC.

There are also ways to get midi input to your PC as mentioned above. StudioMux isn't a bad option for MIDI.

Can’t you just email it to yourself.

Thanks all - I’ve set up Strummer inside Cubasis, then exported the MIDI from there. Seems to work! I’ll continue to explore.
