MIDI Export

Once you’ve transcribed notes in the piano roll, you can export them as a standard MIDI file and open the result in any DAW, notation software, or other music tool.

Export sheet

Pro feature: MIDI export requires a Pro subscription.

Exporting to MIDI

  1. Open the export panel from the main toolbar
  2. Select MIDI (.mid)
  3. Tap Export
  4. Choose a save location using the Files picker, or share directly via AirDrop, Messages, or any other app

What’s Included

The exported MIDI file contains:

  • All notes from the piano roll, with correct pitch, start time, and duration
  • Tempo map — if your project has a variable tempo from a previous import, that timing information is preserved
  • Note timing — positions are stored at standard MIDI resolution, compatible with any receiving application

Compatibility

The .mid format is supported by virtually every music production application:

  • DAWs: Logic Pro, GarageBand, Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Cubase
  • Notation software: MuseScore, Finale, Sibelius, Dorico
  • Online tools and MIDI players

Tip: Export to MIDI when you want to arrange, re-instrument, or further edit your transcription in a full production environment. For sharing a readable score, try MusicXML or PDF Tablature instead.
