User Manual

You can export MIDI files using two methods: via drag-and-drop or via the Group/Sound con-
text menu.
Exporting MIDI via Drag-and-Drop
You can render the selected Pattern to a MIDI file by simply dragging it onto the target location
on your operating system or directly into a MIDI channel of your host software:
1. Select the Pattern you want to export MIDI from (see section 10.7.2, Selecting Patterns
and Pattern Banks).
2. If you want to export MIDI from the entire Group, switch the Pattern Editor to Group view.
If you want instead to export MIDI from the focused Sound only, switch the Pattern Editor
to Keyboard view. See section 10.1.5, Group View and Keyboard View to know how to do
this.
3. In the top right corner of the Pattern Editor, click and hold the MIDI Dragger icon:
As you start dragging the icon the mouse cursor displays the name of the Pattern you are
about to export:
4. Drag the icon to your desktop or onto a MIDI channel of your host application.
The MIDI file is exported to the selected location.
You can even drag the MIDI Dragger icon onto another Sound or Group in MASCHINE!
In this case the MIDI file will be directly imported into a Pattern of the selected Group
according to the rules described in section 10.8.3, Importing MIDI to Patterns.
Exporting MIDI via the Context Menu
You can also render the selected Pattern to a MIDI file on your hard disk using the Export
MIDI… entry in the context menu of the Sound or Group:
