Can’t answer for ableton live, but Daw like Reaper give you the choice when you import so i suppose you need to check your Daw documentation ? ---

Hi, can we have a definite answer to this question… I have the iOS version and I cannot get a ‘single’ traditional midi file (with all tracks/instruments) exported, even with the ‘All Stems’ Export (it exports 8 separate tracks)… Am I doing something wrong? Thanks… ---

Hello RajahP, When you click on the ‘All Stems’ export how many files are being saved? ---

8 Separate tracks/files. Thanks… ---

When saving All Stems as a MIDI file there should be one .mid file created. However, when importing this file to a DAW, in most cases, the DAW will give you the choice to either assign this to up to 8 separate tracks or merge into a single midi track. So, it depends of the DAW/Host in use and how it handles multi-midi files. In most cases, by default the MIDI file will be assigned to up to 8 separate midi tracks. ---

Recently bought the desktop version, maybe desktop DAWs will handle midi differently… In iOs, I am getting 8 independent tracks ‘only’… Xequence, and other midi programs… ---

We can definitely add a way to force-merge the midi altogether. It will come with our next update. Max ---

Seems there is an issue with the iOS Au midi export (or is it me?). It seems to freeze when trying to export… ---

Hi RajahP, Indeed we have identified an issue which affects the AUv3 on certain iOS versions and we’re working to fix it. Thank you for your patience, Max ---
