Export Bind A midi as chord progession instead of single notes

[wessismore]

When I play in the the Bind A midi setting, where you can play single notes and it plays the progressions. the midi data come out to a single note. How can I have it export the actually progressions to the melody and not the single trigger note.

Hi @wessismore

There is a different answer depending on which DAW you are using:

Some DAW allow you to route MIDI to another channel and record the notes there (which records the chords notes and note the trigger notes), Studio One for example:

Setup - Studio One 3 - External Instrument Control

To control external instruments within Studio One you must use Scaler as a VST plugin and route Scaler’s MIDI output onto the track of the instrument you wish to control. How-To Load Scaler VST onto an instrument track and the instrument you wish to control on a second track. [StudioOne3-1] Drag the track window down to show all the MIDI selection boxes. [StudioOne3-2] In the MIDI input section, select Scaler as the “Instrument Input” and select MIDI Output 1 as the “Instrument Channel”…

Other DAW might have a way to capture or “freeze” the MIDI, this is the case in Logic for example:

How to Capture Scaler Chords in Logic Pro X - Scaler Direct MIDI Out in Logic

I load a chord set and start playing chord progressions, example: [22%20PM] When I have something I like I hit record on Logic, the region looks like this: [45%20PM] All good until I want to see the chord’s actual MIDI notes in my region. Now I have to drag chosen chords to make a new chord set and use the export MIDI button to drag MIDI file to my region: [00%20PM] This gives me all chord notes but that’s not my performance, its all same length. I have to work a lot with this to get that …
