Title: LMMS MIDI
Post by mic_comte on Mar 11^th, 2013, 1:52pm

Hello,
I have LMMS, which doesn't export MIDI files, but is able to send MIDI signal to instruments. I was wondering if I could use MIDI-OX to get those signals into a MIDI file?

Hi
You can output the Midi stream to a MidiYoke output in LMMS.
You will need some program that will record the Midi stream coming out of MidiYoke and save as a Midi file.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_free_audio_software#Recording_and_editing

Will show you some to chose from.
Google 'free midi recorders'. You need to find one that will record all 16 channels and once.

MidiOx will play Midi files, but won't record Midi stream to a Midi file as far as I know.

All the best

Hello,
Thanks for you answer. But I am not sure to understand:
"

"

I want to output from LMMS to MIDI yoke.

Hi
MidiYoke is a separate program to MidiOx but available here.

It is a "pretend" Midi interface with a number of Midi ins and outs (you can choose how many you want.)

The trick is, in MidiYoke the output is connected to the input. Sort of a Midi patch chord.
So Midi data going into Yoke1 Out appears at Yoke1 In.

This enables you to 'see' what is being sent by LMMS in MidiOx.
You can forget about MidiOx and just connect the Midi Yoke 1 data stream to another program.

So LMMS -> MidiYoke 1 Out ->-> MidiYoke1 In -> Midi recorder program.
After installing MidiYoke, open LMMS and make the Midi out to be MidiYoke1.
Start the recording program and make the Midi in to be MidiYoke1.

Now when you press play on LMMS the Midi data will be sent to MIdiYoke Out and it will appear 'instantly' at the input of the recording program.

So when it is all connected up press record on the recording program - Alt Tab - to flip to LMMS and press play.

All the best
