is there a way to export a song as a midi?

[fluxxzed]

im making a song with parts from other songs I've written, but I can't figure out how to turn them into a good quality midi

Currently our MIDI-export is limited. LMMS exports all tracks to one single track, or expressed in MIDI-terms: LMMS can only create a MIDI-0 output.
Because of that limitation, you need to export each channel to its own MIDI-file.
That takes time, im afraid, but as long as we only support MIDI-0-export, multitrack-projects, can only be exported that way

I know this problem regarding midi export is around for ages. I think it is really important, cause midi is such a general medium in exchanging music.

Are there any hopes of fixing this issue in the near future?

P. S. I worked with Midi files myself, but I program in java

It is being looked at atm. The status as of today i am not aware of

I think you could help us, if you dl the source class for the midi encode.
I have 'brainstormed' a bit for my self, and one of my 'ideas' is sequential single channel export to midi, but ONLY of active tracks.
My issue with that is to get the associated automation-track exported with the actual midi-notes.
Sequential export of active-tacks would add one more serious interesting feature : midi-stems
I have track-note-stems on my 'mind-schedule' either as midi, or as mmp. One or the other will get focused, after i finally have finished and bug-cleansed those i work on atm.

The midi export is limited.

If you have already composed your epic masterpiece in lmms then the best solution that I have found is:

On each instrument you can enable midi and set the output channel from 1-16. You will be limited to 16 tracks.

Enable midi and set each instrument to a different channel and save.

Export as .midi.

Now if you open the .midi file in another DAW you should have separate tracks.

i don't have any midi ideas but this should be fine

Should be mentioned that neither OffRel nor Alpha can. Only Nightly has this new MIDI option.
