Per-note pitch bend MIDI export issues

[Gzalyu_]

Hello,

I'm using MTS Studio for iPad V5.3, on an iPad Air 5.

I have a track with per-note pitch bends I'm trying to export for editing in my desktop DAW, however MTS is writing the 14-bit pitch bend data for all notes to the same channel on CC06/38 Data Entry 14-bit. I write chords with individual note pitch shifts and bends, so the data is not possible to use as is.

I've tried exporting single tracks I need in both formats 1 and 0, as well as all tracks to one file, same issue.

Is there a way to export the MIDI with per-note CC data assigned correctly, please, or using a channel rotation?

Thanks!

Exporting is easy: you can export to a .midi2 file ("MIDI Clip File"). This is a new MIDI file format, the specs of which where published by the MIDI Association 3 years ago. It can contain MIDI 2.0 features like per-note controls and higher resolutions.

The problem is importing: as far as I know no DAW other than MultitrackStudio supports this file format yet. You should ask the vendor of your DAW to add MIDI Clip File support

Thanks for the quick reply Giel. Is the iPad export also MIDI 2.0 by default? I'm currently investigating how I might convert that data to MPE so I can import it to other software, and not having much luck yet

Incidentally, the problem I am trying to solve is importing to Reaper to feed the MIDI data to ROLI Equator 2, and also being able to edit the data in Reaper's MIDI editor.

To export to a .midi2 file you have to append .midi2 to the value in the Name box in Song-->Export-->Export MIDI Tracks. So it reads "MyTrack.midi2" for example.

I don't think you can get this to work with software that doesn't support .midi2 files.

Thank you- I will work around it for now by separating the track into non-overlapping horizontal slices for export

It looks like MIDI 2.0 is still unpopular enough due to the lack of hardware support that nobody has published a good library for scripting a best-effort conversion, unfortunately, unless I decide to learn both standards. I don't think I will at this point

That's clever.
