Default Batch MIDI export?

Am I missing something?

I have 64 midi files needed to export with separate names.

I can batch process 100000 wav files in a second all with different names but not midi?

Please tell me we can do this simple task.

Hmmm there doesn't seem to be any native way of doing it. Yeah, pretty weird.

Indeed. Guess I have to sit here and name and export 64 midi files.

Oh well! lol

That sounds like a job for one of ReaScript masters, I'd say.

Is there nothing from SWS? I did look through actions but can't find anything there.

I never used it myself this way but you can try the action "Convert active take MIDI to .mid file reference".

This converts "in project" MIDI items to MIDI files, works for several selected MIDI items at once.

No control over how the MIDI files are named it seems but maybe you can use with a batch renaming tool afterwards to work around that.

Hi, thanks for input but this doesn't work right as I did try it. Can't do bulk renaming either as they are all unique names. I had to do it one export at a time!

I posted a feat request though, just don't understand why this isn't a feature already.

Bulk render? That means something else to me (render to audio) but I will try this method, thanks.

pretty kewl and thanks cuz I did not know this could be done....

yeah it gets the name 'render' in the file name but that is easy to fix later with a batch file renamer like flash renamer...

Could someone explain what this ctrl-drag technique is and exactly how to do it? Holding down the ctrl key while dragging seems to have no effect. I try to ctrl-drag the midi items to a windows folder in explorer and it just shifts the item around before the cursor leaves Reaper and nothing gets dropped in windows explorer. (remember I'm a newb)!

In search of a non-workaround solution, I've gone so far as to learn LUA and worked in Reascript to do customizations. (I finally succeeded in getting a trim/crop script to work!) However, there appears to be not even one reference in Reascript to "export", let alone "export midi track/item". (Someone correct me if I'm wrong). I could launch the Export Project Midi action, but then how does one handle all the settings in the resulting dialog box from Reascript?

My only way to get my midi tracks out to a midi file now are to open each one in the editor and manually export (typing in a new filename for each one)!!! Sad!

if i get the question right,
dragging multiple midi files from Project Bay to a folder
uses Alt + Drag (in my pc Right Alt )
-open Project Bay
-switch to Media items tab
-ctrl+a select all
-Alt+drag n drop
done!

EDIT:
there is also
-SWS/IX: Label processor
-Xenakios/SWS: Auto-rename selected takes

actions to rename multiple items easily at once.

All is good until I try the drag&drop. Initially the cursor is an arrow with a + sign on it (indicating that I should be able to add the selected items somewhere). But when I get my mouse over windows explorer the cursor changes to a slash/circle preventing the drop. Tried it with the left and right alt keys!

strange it allows even multiple wave items here
i am on windows7 x64

just in case:
do not leave the Alt key before the mouse drag drop..
(sorry if sounds simple&unnecessary)

I wanted to do this on Windows 10 and found this thread. I also found that Alt + drag’n’drop didn’t work... but Ctrl+Alt+Drag’n’drop does work. So thank you!

Hi again, Back after 5 years! This workaround is a solution so thanks for that, but I'm still think a Batch Midi Export might be useful.

Midi in the Bath export would do it. So similar options for file naming, etc...

You mean wildcards? You can create feature request then.
