Export Chords in Separate Channel?
Hey there,
When exporting a piano score into midi, then importing it into my DAW, all the chords are sent to whatever staff the chord is assigned to. In other words, it's mixed with the melody. There should be an option to export chords into a different channel (so in this case my midi file would have 3 channels, piano RH, piano LH and chords).
That's it, thanks.

When exporting the midi file, then opening in my DAW (in this case it's Studio One), all the channels that had chord symbols have chords. They're not in separate channels.

Can you attach your score, and the MIDI file? Certainly they are separate channels for me. Maybe your DAW software is choosing to combine them since they are all on the same track? That's different from channel.

It looks like you did some customization of the MIDI channels in the Mixer, or maybe osm other amount of importing or rearranging of tracks, to get that MSCZ file? The channel assignments are assigned in an unusual fashion. But what seems to be the case is, for the guitar, on the MID export, the chords are assigned a different channel - 16 vs 3. The piano is not, perhaps because its harmony channel is on port 2 in the original MSCZ file? Not sure, probably relates to having exceeded the 16 standard MIDI channels here. Under normal circumstances, though, the MIDI does go to another channel.

Hi Marc,
I have a related question:
In my song "But not for me" there is just a (walking) bass clef staff and the notes are sent through the MIDI channel 1 which I selected in the mixer, which works perfectly. However, the chords that I entered above the staff are always sent to MIDI channel 2, which is not what I want. How can I change the MIDI output channel of the chords entered textually above the staff?
Thank you,
Alexander

You can try changing the channel for that sub-channel (after opening the channel strip using the arrow at the top) in the Mixer. I have no idea if it will work to put different tracks onto the same channel, but you can certainly try.

Yes, that's it. Thank you so much! Alex
