Hello! My experience with Mdrummer Large continues to rock, i love this thing!!
Thanks to all, especially the dev team for helping me so far.

Something that seems basic which i cant figure out is how to export midi files of what ive created in rhtyhm generator section.

For instance, I can live trigger all the generated 'sections' (intro, beat, fills, etc)...but i would like to export each section as a midi file, so i may then arrange those in my host sequencer.I have managed to export midi, but seem to only grab the first intro section.

How can i define which section i want to export to file?

And also useful would be...can i export the entire set of rhythms, end-to-end,
with one command?

Thanks as always, cheers!

Thanks!

About exporting - you have 3 options:
1) Export each part one by one from loop editor, not really ideal.
2) Using song structures - in the "song" tab edit your arrangement and then use the "arrow MIDI" button to drag & drop the whole thing as MIDI.
3) If you are using MIDI commands - use MDrummer's MIDI output and attach it to some other MIDI track and then just record it all. This is the best option, but needs a reasonable host with MIDI routing, e.g. Cubase.

Great thanks!

1.Actually method 1 you list is what I'm most interested in. When I use that method and export the selected section from rhythm editor, it only outputs one sound. I think I'm exporting the 'Essential Beat' loop only...how would I make sure to export all the sound in that ryhthm? (maybe not possible, thus you have suggested point 2 on your list...)

2.So, regarding second method...this looks promising. Let me see if i understand:
Simply acrivate the arrow at the right of Song page, and drag highlighted boxes into a midi track in my host?

3.If I understand correctly, you are suggesting that Mdrummer will output all it's actual notes while playing in realtime when routed correctly...Or did you just mean single notes that trigger the rhythms? If it outputs all it's notes in realtime when any sound plays, could you tell me which midi channel this outputs to?

Thanks again, you are the best!

Cheers,

Ok, so:

1) I really don't think you want this. Think about what MDrummer knows at that moment - only the rhythm, it cannot export all loops in it, it wouldn't even make sense, and some may be polymorphic etc... This way you just take the one loop and create MIDI file from it, lots of parameters just removed etc.

2) You have to edit your arrange in the song structures first. Then drag & drop it. Good enough, but you have to edit the arrangement, which personally I'm not willing to spend my time on

.

3) This one's the best - you basically let MDrummer play the whole song and record what he plays in MIDI. Than do whatever you want with the notes it generates.

great, thanks so much. So, indeed i will use the 3rd method you recommend.

Not sure how to get my sequencer to see the actual notes Mdrummer is playing, since usually output of a vst will equal 'midi thru',
but i will play around a bit with it, thanx!

If all else fails i can always use method 2, which is still a great feature i didnt realize was possible.

Anyway, thanks as always, cheers!

My pleasure! Anyway it really depends on the host. I always recommend Cubase, because the routing there is just perfect.
