How can I export MIDI? MidiConvert not working

Renoise Tools
1

I’ve installed a few versions of MidiConvert but not had any joy exporting MIDI . It doesn’t even output a MIDI file, even if I type a filename with extension.

Any tips?

Are you using this tool?: Midi Convert | Renoise

Just tried ‘file’->‘export to midi’ using this tool, on a very simple single note project and it exported .mid and .txt.

After hitting ‘export to midi’ there was a message in the ‘status bar’ indicating it was being worked on, then after a second or two, it said ‘done’ and the file(s) were saved on my desktop.

Ah yeah… it’s working now. That was weird! It didnt export anything yesterday - I tried 3 versions of it!

Thanks for your help :space_invader:

It is a script that is causing the bug notice, perhaps you can bump the particular midi convert script thread with your above post?

the name of the tool is

Tried this and also the extended one in tools both same error Im running latest renoise 3.5.4 on windows by the way

if the extended version shoots an error, and still references MidiConvert - then is it so that the extended tool is also called MidiConvert?

if so, maybe uninstall MidiConvert from Renoise → Tools → Tool Browser

and then install the extended version just to be sure.

they should have different IDs

The problems are caused by the use of process_slicer itself.
In luajit it behaves a little differently.
You need to modify Process_Slicer during initialization.
In luajit the global variable “arg” does not exist. You have to replace it with { … } in the initialization.

function ProcessSlicer:__init(process_func, ...)
  assert(type(process_func) == "function", 
    "expected a function as first argument")

  self.__process_func = process_func
  self.__process_func_args = { ... } --arg
  self.__process_thread = nil
end
