Saving a MIDI recording to a file
Save your own MIDI recording as a .mid file for a DAW or another app. This saves the original MIDI; it does not convert an audio recording into MIDI.
If your screens look different from this guide, update the app to the latest version.
Save a MIDI file
- Open your MIDI recording from Records → Practice.
- Open More actions (…) and choose Save MIDI file….
- After Preparing MIDI file…, the operating system's save dialog opens.
- Choose a destination and filename, then finish saving. MIDI file saved confirms completion.
The suggested name looks like pianium_practice_123_20261104.mid: the practice number and recording start date in your device's local time. Canceling the dialog keeps your original recording.
If the menu item is missing
It appears only for your own practice when there is an original MIDI file available to save.
- Microphone-only recordings do not have this item.
- Other people's recordings do not have it, even when public.
- A take still waiting to be registered as a practice log needs to finish registration and sync first.
To save audio, use Export recording instead.
Connection and download allowance
An available original on the device is reused without downloading it again. A connection is still needed to check ownership and the current source. Offline export may not be available.
Fetching the file from the cloud uses your monthly delivery allowance. If a limit appears, see Cloud storage and monthly delivery.
If saving fails
- If downloading fails, try the menu item again after your connection returns.
- If the original is missing or has changed, reopen the practice log.
- If saving to the destination fails, check available space and the destination, then try again.
- If asked to sign in, use the account that owns the practice.
A failed export does not delete the original recording.
