To export a single MIDI track from FL Studio, you must export the data directly from the Piano Roll of the specific pattern rather than using the main project export menu, which typically bundles all MIDI data together.
- 1.Select the specific pattern containing your MIDI in the FL Studio Browser or Pattern Picker.
- 2.Go to the Piano Roll of that pattern, click the arrow in the top left corner, select 'File', and then choose 'Export as MIDI file'.
- 3.Open Pro Tools, go to 'File' > 'Import' > 'MIDI', select your file, and choose 'New Track' when prompted to ensure it creates a dedicated MIDI or Instrument track.
- ×FL Studio might export the MIDI at its current project tempo; you will need to set the same BPM in Pro Tools for it to line up with the grid.
- ×Ensure you select 'Export as MIDI' from the Piano Roll menu specifically, otherwise, you may accidentally export the entire project's MIDI data.
If your MIDI isn't landing on the right 'notes' in Pro Tools, ensure you aren't exporting the MIDI through a wrapper that transposes the data. Check the Root Note in FL Studio's MISC functions before exporting.
