Export MIDI always 120bpm

Post by Kai @ HighResolution » Thu Feb 19, 2009 10:00 am

In Live 7, it was always 4/4 and 120bpm.
In Live 8, time sig. can be export but bpm still always 120 since Live 4.

In almost case, i guess I don't need this.
But in some special case, this would be feel so inconvenient.
Such as...
export MIDI file for score soft.
editing MIDI grooves for drum software such as Addictive drums or BFD.

Strange, I would never think of this as any issue. Especially since you note importing into score software, but they just need the notes and the how they're placed within the bars. If they even bother with reading the bpm it's to see those placements, and since you can export time signature changes, I would think there would be no problem at all. If the score, or the drum software actually sets their tempo to the midi file, you can just adjust the tempo very easily. Don't think there's a need to focus on implementing it into live.
I've never had any problem with this when exporting MIDI clips and importing them into Sibelius. It's easy as pie!

Hi,

That's how it's always been, there is nothing new here, and technically no bug. Therefore, I moved the thread away.
