Preparing a Song for MIDI File Conversion
This section describes the steps for converting Logic fun
sequences into the MIDI file format, using the Tutorial Song as
an example.
The MIDI FILE format does not recognize Logic fun
sequences or playback parameters, but only continuous tracks.
In order to be able to save the Tutorial Song as a MIDI file you
must:
•
neutralize all playback parameters by editing the data corre-
spondingly
•
convert loops into real data
•
merge the sequences on each track into one continuous
sequence, using the Glue tool.
Saving the Song as a MIDI File
To save a song as a MIDI file, go to the local menu of Arrange
window; and select Edit > Select All. Next, select File > Export
Selection as a MIDI File…
Saving Individual Sequences as a MIDI File
You can save individual sequence, or any groups of sequences
as MIDI files, by selecting only the sequence(s) you wish to
include before executing the “Export Selection…” command.
Saving Songs as SMF Format 0
Standard MIDI Files may be saved in either of two formats,
Format 0, or format 1. The typical Format is 1, where the file
contains multiple tracks. Format 0 files store all data on one
track.
