Hi, I want to be able to share tracks I’ve been working on in Cubasis with other musicians who don’t use Cubase (e.g. Logic, Reason). How do I go about doing this? I’m not overly concerned about audio, it’s the midi aspect I need to get working well.

Thanks in advance.

Under Mixdown, you can export your project as MIDI, this should do what you want.

Using mixdown to midi appears to mix all midi track together. This may not be desirable. You may need to mutte all but one at a time to get separate tracks. The “separate tracks” option appears to be disabled for midi.  
Steinberg?

Thanks.

Hello,

Cubasis exports MIDI files in format 1 (seperated MIDI tracks, seperated MIDI channels) as a default.  
As a result the “separate tracks” option is greyed out since not required.

Best regards,

Great, that sounds like it will do the job. Thanks for getting back.
