Export Beat To Midi File

★ With AudioNodes HD

Patterns created with melody source type nodes can be exported into a MIDI file, which will be saved on your local machine.

Note: Since our export logic is very new, it is currently available only for the sequencer-type nodes such as Sequencer Node and Drum Sequencer Node. Therefore, we introduce the export feature from the perspective of the Sequencer Node..

To start, fire up AudioNodes Online (or download the desktop version for faster performance if you need it).

Create A Pattern

1. Right click on empty area
   • On touch devices: touch and hold on empty area, until the progress circle completes
2. Select Melody Sources category
3. Select Sequencer
4. Double-click the new Sequencer Node, then your will see the step editor (or select Properties, and which will open the properties panel)
   • On touch devices: tap the new Sequencer Node, tap the gear icon in the header, then properties panel will be opened
5. Let’s create two steps (with quarter step length which is the default one) by clicking 1st two grey areas (hereby called steps)
