Can I export snare or bass drum midi without deleting the rest of the kit midi?

[roland rat]

Hi all

I’m thinking that as engineers sometimes want to mess with your kick or snare by adding their own samples, it might be good to supply snare or kick midi files for those kit bits along with all the wavs. I can see that I could delete all the unwanted midi (temporarily!) and print the midi file for the kit pieces I want, but is there a quicker or better way to do this? If I mute the other kit pieces in the grid editor (or solo the wanted ones) for example?

Your thoughts most welcome,

Rat.

Hi,

if I understand you correctly, I would simply right-click all the MIDI on the SD3 Song Track, click the ‘+’ sign to create a new Song Track and then right-click in the new Song Track and Paste > Snare. Then you have your new Song Track with just the Snare MIDI which can be exported as a MIDI file from the Track Menu.

We have had a very similar problem and Johns solution does not work. Sorry mate 🙂

We imported our recorded acoustic drum tracks as MP3 files into Tracker, and did all the right things to get the SD3 kit sounds…these then converted to midi once we clicked export in the Tracker window. Then…All we wanted to do was play with the midi a little bit in Grid Editor…EG. Add a few kick hits here and there, quantize the kick’s midi track…But there is no way forward from there?

We tried all sorts of things we could think of but ultimately as soon as we tried to right click and copy the kick track midi in Grid Editor (or with the 2nd to 6th time around we just copied all the other midi tracks in Grid Editor too because they were fine) we are obliged to click X to leave Grid Editor window and try to paste the midi, because you cannot drag any midi anywhere else as the new song window suggests, but this only causes us to lose all the original tracks from Tracker as well as the midi data in Grid Editor Because…When we tried to right click paste the tracks to a new Song Track it says Clipboard Empty?? We clicked Edit>Undo to try save progress but we need help!

How come we cannot edit the midi drums in Grid Editor and copy/past the updated tracks afterwards to a new song track afterwards?
