Hi,

I am a user of the 2010 audiophile edition (and of Logic, now 9.1.1).

Until now (Mac 2009 and 2010 Build 9) the export of RealCharts as midi-files worked with the track „Guitar“. Other tracks didn‘t work when importing them as midi-files (notes) into Logic (endless notes in the „piano roll“); the import of „Drums“ was o.k., even when the original Biab file contained RealDrums.

With the update 2010.Build 10 the export/import of the track „Guitar“ doesn‘t work any longer. Other tracks still dont‘t work in this belong.

(If I lay a RealTrack on „Drums“, I hear both: the RealTrack-instrument and drums (RealDrums), and it exports only the midi-file „Drums“.)

I should be grateful, if PG would enable the export of RealTracks as a midi-file (and the import of notes) at least on one track (for further treatment in Logic or another Sq).

Thank you in advance.

Beneath: I‘am still grateful for your exellent and overwhelming programm.

Regards.

Norbert

Hi Norbert,

To save the RealChart to MIDI....
You need to enable RealTracks Setttings - "Save RealChart in MIDI File". Then save the MIDI file (no by Drag n Drop, but by the .MID button.

>> I‘am still grateful for your exellent and overwhelming programm.

Thanks!


Have Fun!

Hi Peter,

thank you for your prompt reply.

I had already enabled „Save RealCharts in Midi File“ – that was not the problem.

However, in the last hour I made some new Biab-Files – and everything was o.k. with the track „Guitar“ (exporting RealCharts as midi file/importing them into Logic as notes) – as before (Mac 2009 and 2010 Build 9).

I opend some existing files: In some cases evething was o.k. (midi export/import to Logic), in other cases the problem (endless notes/piano rolls in Logic) was still existing.

I do not know, why the problems sometimes occurs and sometimes not. May be its an individual problem of my iMac (Core i7) and/or of Logic and/or of special Biab-files. (I can‘t estimate, I am not a technican.)

Anyhow, I will hold on and contact PG again if the problem should occur more frequent.

Regards.

Norbert
