If I uncheck that option it loads as one midi file with merged/overlapped midi data. Upon loading the file Reaper asks if I want to make that one midi file in to multiple tracks. So, my initial findings are that Reaper, and probably every quality DAW out there can’t edit and then export what the Pyramid is expecting in terms of MIDI files with multiple patterns.

you could possibly automate some of this using pyramidi, and a suitable daw project template.

(2) another approach, I think i saw on the octatrack that might be interesting on the pyramid.įorget importing of midi, get the pyramid to send tracks (midi) to the DAW one by one - so multtrack the midi. (1) perhaps you could automate the daw side a bit, but not much you can do on the pyramid. So perhaps others have found a suitabe workflow to go back n’ forth?! That said, usually I just ‘print’ stems to audio when I do the pyramid to daw step… (2) What I think would be painful/not viable?ĭevelop on pyramid -> develop on daw -> develop on pyramid etc etc.īecause each step, would require adaptation (1) the two scenarios I see working are:Ī) start/develop your track on the pyramid, then export it to DAW, adapt to ‘finish it’ī) start/develop your track in the DAW, then export it to Pyramid, adapt to ‘perform it’

You can import and export midi to/from the pyramid,īut the issue is midi only contains ‘part of the story’, e.g you dont have fx, sequences etc etc.įor me, this means the import/export is a kind of ‘end of the line’ activity, rather than something you can have as part of your workflowĮ.g. (this is because track length is saved in the project file, allowing you to shorten a track with destroying midi da… The only oddity, Ive found is it assumes the track length is 1, so you need to go to each pattern and set the real track length. Midi Files (again) with multiple tracks Pyramidī) make sure patterns are enabled on trackĭ) export as type 1, with name track01.midĮ) load project in pyramid, each track has appears as a separate pattern.
