Midi export options in SD3

[roland rat]

Hello

Now this will sound like anathema, but a guy I’m working with wants midi files only sent to him so that he can add his own samples. He doesn’t necessarily want to use SD3 sounds. Oh well. So I’m looking at the export options on the UI and I see that ‘export as a midi file’ will export the whole kit. Now as I have no experience myself of assigning samples to an imported midi file (this guy will be using on-board stuff in Logic as far as I know) I’m not sure if the whole kit as one file is useful to him. So the question is, is it possible (or necessary) to send out the individual kit pieces as separate midi files?

Cheers

MIDI is just a bunch of note data depicting which articulations are triggered. It has nothing to do with any kit itself.

If you haven’t changed any of the mappings, it should be exported as an extended General MIDI file to which most apps could use straight away. Aside from a few articulations, he should have no real problem applying kit pieces. If he’s applying it through Logic, he probably already has a software instrument set up, since MIDI doesn’t make any sounds. You’re not doing any real favours splitting it up. In fact, if he wants to do that, he can take your file in Logic and explode it into several regions with a single key command.

Well, he is moaning slightly about the hi-hat, which seems to have arrived as four separate lines!

Probably four articulations… he’ll live. 😀
