[SOLVED] realtime .mid file export

AndrewChi · Unread post by **AndrewChi** » 28 May 2021, 23:54

Hi,
I'm trying to export my recorded MIDI data in the PianoRoll as a .mid file.
Is this possible? I cannot seem to find how to do it...

Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot.

just click on the pianoRoll and in the contextual menu press "save midi as".
but it's not possible to patch it.

could be a good feature in HH5 ?
saving files while playing live and be able to recall it in another rack for further treatments is cool.
I've done that with audio files : record people talking then using the recording later on in the live performance.

Thanks @Senso and @oli_lab for your quick replies!

Would be supernice to see this implemented in HH5!
For now I'll try to find a clumsy workaround with some type of screen automators to achieve this.
Or do you think of another solution that could work? Would it be possible with a script maybe?

Thanks for your help!

have a go with some of the array modules I have made : store array module, connected to the event output of the piano roll will allow you to store up to 512 midi sequences up to 2048 bytes in size (1 note take 6 bytes => 341 notes I think)

maybe you can store those array to HD with a script, not sure, you could try from the "write text file" and "read text file"

That's a good tip, thanks.
Don't know if it's going to work out for me because I really need the standard the midi file format. The goal is to be able to visualize the contents of Usine's piano roll in musical notation. I want to open the generated midi file in MuseScore on the fly...
I'm going to look into the scripts!

the write script will do as a starter.
you'll have to change the name in .mid instead of .text and add the appropriate header : http://www.music.mcgill.ca/~ich/classes ... html#BM2_1

save and load in realtime will be implemented in the next major release.

That's really great to hear!

I was experimenting with the script but I'm running into an error converting the PianoRoll array to Comma text.
Do you already have a rough ETA on the next release? I'm working on a project due 26 October...
For now I'll try the OSX 'Automator' route again to get things working quick and dirty

Thanks again
