10.8 Importing/Exporting Audio and MIDI to/from Patterns
 
In the Pattern Editor you can quickly export MIDI and audio from Patterns and import MIDI to
Patterns via drag and drop.
10.8.1 Exporting Audio from Patterns
 
The  Audio  drag-and-drop  function  allows  you  to  export  audio  from  the  selected  Pattern  onto
your desktop or into your host software by simply dragging it onto the target location or appli-
cation. This function is only available in the software.
The  audio  will  be  exported  as  a  WAV  audio  file  and  according  to  the  current  settings  of  the
Export  Audio  panel  (see  section  ↑4.4.3,  Exporting  Audio  for  more  information  on  these  set-
tings) with following exceptions:
▪ The exported  range will  be based  on the  selected Pattern,  regardless of  the current  Loop
Range. Note that the Loop Optimize setting will be respected.
▪ The  exported  audio  will  only  include  the  focused  Group  (in  Group  view)  or  the  focused
Sound (in Keyboard view) — in other words it will include what you see in the Event area.
▪ The audio file will be named as follows:
◦ Export in Group view: [Group name] - [Pattern name] - [BPM].wav
◦ Export in Keyboard view: [Group name] - [Pattern name] [Sound name] - [BPM].wav
To render Patterns to audio files:
1. Select the Pattern you want to export audio from (see section ↑10.7.2, Selecting Patterns
and Pattern Banks).
2. If  you  want  to  export  multiple  Sounds  of  the  Group,  switch  the  Pattern  Editor  to  Group
view,  mute  the  Sounds  you  want  to  exclude  from  the  exported  audio  file  (see  section
↑5.4.1,  Mute  and  Solo),  and  check  that  the  Group  itself  is  not  muted  —  otherwise  the
exported audio file will be silent!
