Export .mid files: Contains instrument sound

Hi all,
Using logic 9 and I want to export a bar as a midi file, but also to contain the instrument sound/information.
So for example, I have a midi instrument of a kick drum and when I exported 'selection as midi file', I want it to play this kick drum sound. Currently, when I export, the midi file defaults to a Piano sound.
Is this Logic performing normally? Is there anyway for the kick sound to export, without converting to an audio file?
It has to a .mid file, as it is going to used in Python for a interactive project.
Thanks guys.

Thanks Data Stream Studio.
I have created Software instrument tracks, so I just copied the midi file, to the External MIDI track and followed your instructions.
But I have also created synthesised sounds, guitars, bass etc. as well, which I need to convert. But when I follow your instructions in regard to their channel I end up with the piano sound.
Example - I have a bass synthesiser sound. I copied the MIDI from the software instrument to a External MIDI. I changed the channel to 2, and program 38 for Synth Bass, but I end up with the standard piano sound.
Is there something I've missed here?
Thanks.

  • How to export midi file wih song tempo alternative ?

    can I export Midi File that including song tempo alternative in it?
    Please Tall Me How to do that Thanks

    Not sure what you mean by "Tempo Alternative", but a standard MIDI file includes all tempo information, whether it's a static tempo throughout the song, or an intricate tempo map. It's all included.
    As to "how"... simply utilize the "Export as MIDI file" function, found under the Export options in the File menu.

  • Any Complete Tutorials On How To Edit And Export MIDI Files In GB?

    Hi. A friend sent me about 25 nice standard MIDI files that all open fine in QT Pro. She wants me to drag and drop them into GarageBand 2, attempt to edit them, change sounds and then export them out as the edited versions, key changes, added bars, change instrument sounds, etc,. Although I'm a trained musician who understands form, I really don't have a clue on how to use GB to edit and export standard MIDI files. Can this be done effectively in GB ver 2 or 3?
    Basically what she then wants to do is take the edited MIDI tracks, put them into itunes I guess on her iBook G4 or Ipod and do a solo act playing her keyboard live and usibg the MIDI tracks as background.
    Are there any links to step by step tutorials on how I can lerarn this procedure? Please offer any advice and links if you can and thanks for your help

    Not really practical, I'm afraid. Capturing screenshots and cutting them up is possible with Photoshop, but PDF editing is very limited (fix a typo, move a picture).

  • Difficulty with SF2 files containing multiple sounds; only one sound will play

    Here's my difficulty. I know exactly how to install SF2 soundfonts on my computer, I have used them in several compositions, but there's one limitation I havent been able to overcome.
    Some soundfonts, as you probably know, contain multiple sounds. My problem is that when I have a multi-sound SF2 selected, I can only get GarageBand to play one sound -- presumably the first one in the pack. There are no options in the DLS Music Player window for selecting other sounds within the soundfont; only the soundfont itself is listed. I have a couple of soundfont packs where the different sounds are all split into individual SF2s within a folder, and that displays as a submenu properly... but I can't get these others to work properly. Any ideas?

    I don't think you can get it to work with the current version of GB. There used to be a plugin called SoundFontSynth that handled soundfonts with sound banks, but it has been discontinued and the auther never replied to emails.

  • Propblem when exporting midi files

    Hello,
    When I select a midi sequence (made of 50 regions for ex) and export it - when I open it back, ALL my regions show up but in 50 different tracks.
    How can I export them so that ALL lined-up on the same track? Urgent.
    Many thanks in advance..
    Sbgb

    It's very simple.
    1. Select all the tracks you wish to export to a midfile.
    2. Go to the Region menu, then the Merge section and hit "Merge regions per tracks".
    That should do the job.
    Damian.

  • "Export selection as MIDI file" problem...

    Hi, i'm having some trouble when exporting my MIDI tracks to MIDI files. I select File, Export, Export selection as MIDI file and when i listen to the midi file, it's the same rhythm pattern but the instrument is a piano instead of the instrument it was originally.
    What the ****'s wrong! am i doing something wrong? I'd be really grateful if someone could solve this for me as i don't have a lot of time, it's for a college assignment!

    You're not doing anything wrong......if you are using Quicktime to preview the exported MIDI file the piano is from the Quicktime Synthesizer....

  • Logic Pro 7 exports broken MIDI files

    Hello.
    I've started using Logic Pro 7 quite recently and I have a very disappointing problem. After I export a song in midi format from Logic, other software applications report an error or even refuse to open it at all. The worst thing is that Logic itself can't open midi files it creates!
    Logic shows the following error message:
    "Warning!
    This MIDI file contains more than 2000 tracks. Only the first 2000 tracks will be read."
    After I press "OK" the next one appears:
    "Only format 0 or 1 can be read"
    The ability to reload MIDI files is crucial to me, please respond as soon as you can!
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi- I get the same problem and have posted it recently on the Logic Users Group forum.
    No reply as yet.
    Can we agree to update each other - and btw I am a veteran Logic user - this has completely stumped me

  • Corrupt Downloaded Midi Files

    Hi gang,
    I've been remixing a song and couldn't for the life of me figure out the bass line, so I downloaded a midi file from a professional company on the web, so that I could see the bassline myself. It's the first time i've downloaded and imported a midi file. In a seperate work session, I imorted it no problems, but when I play it, it is massively distorted. Even though I wasn't sure how a midi file could distort, I only really wanted to look at it. When I went back into my tune I was horrified to hear that it seems that the midi file triggered something in Logic - and now everything (including my song) is distorted.
    Any Ideas? I'm not bothered about the download, but obviosly I want my song to sound like it did when I closed the session.
    HELP
    Hippers

    This is a truly bizarre situation. I can't imagine how the MIDI file itself affected your Logic session as a whole. So here's my first-cup-of-coffee-of-the-day troubleshooting advice...
    There is a chance that the MIDI file contained a program change which selected a distorted-sounding patch on whatever synth/instrument plug you're using. Furthermore, the file may contain a CC#7 (or 11) volume message that banged up the volume of whatever track you imported it on, raising the fader to a level much higher than you had previously set it to. And if both occur, it could give the impression that everything is distorted, but really the culprit is that one track.
    What happens when you turn that track off? Is everything still distorted?
    Re-load your original song -- one saved prior to having imported the MIDI file. Does it sound OK?
    Then import the bass line to this song, but import it to a track that isn't assigned an instrument (in fact, assign the track to the "no output" item). Does it distort? If not, open the Event Editor and look at the very beginning of the list. If you see any volume or program change data, delete it. Now assign that track to an instrument and see what happens.

  • Midi files in FCE HD ?

    Is there a way to import a midi audio file into FCE HD. When I try I get an error message saying it is an invalid file? thanks joanlvh

    Hey joanlvh
    If you have QT Pro simply open the MIDI file in QT Pro and then Export as an aiff. Thats it.
    The quality of your MIDI file will be determined (besides the quality of the MIDI data) by the quality of your sound card. What a lot of the MIDI crowd do is they run the MIDI file through a sound module or tone generator which is a piece of machinery which converts the MIDI signal into a more life like /relaistic sound and then record it into their LINE IN on the computer.
    But getting to your question, yes, it can certainly be done and done easily enough. QT Pro does it fine.
