Downloading a MIDI

Hey Adam, to confirm, this drop-down is in the Piano Roll, not the main FL Studio top menu File option.

Let's go step-by-step.

1. In Piano Roll, click top-left arrow
2. File -> Export as MIDI File...
3. Save this file
4. Simply drag/drop the saved MIDI File into a new virtual instrument (or go File -> Import MIDI File.. in Piano Roll).

Let me know if this is still not working for you!

Yeah it doesn't work that way.  You export MIDI from the Piano Roll, which you'd then import onto a Sound / Virtual Instrument in the Channel Rack.

Another alternative is in the main FL Studio top menu, go File -> Export -> MIDI File.. but I have no experience with this at all, so you'd have to figure out how the importing works..

What are you trying to do with the MIDI Files?  Maybe that will help me give an easier solution!

Hey Adam, the easiest way to do this is just to save a FL Studio Project (.flp).

You'd use that as your template.

Here's how it'd work:

• Create a template with your melodies / drum loop
• Copy the project to a new file + Rename it
• Open it up, then change your sounds!

You can now re-use this template, create a new project, then modify the sounds to your liking.

You can even add this as an actual FL Studio template so you don't have to do the copy & rename found in Settings -> General -> Default template.

You load templates into:

Documents/Image-Line/FL Studio/Projects/Templates

I think that will be the easiest solution for you here.

No problem man!  Good thing I asked what you're end goal was, as that usually allows me to clearly see what you're trying to achieve!

Creating a FL Studio Project as your template to work off will help you tons!

This is what I do for my FL Studio template to improve my beatmaking, mixing, and mastering workflow!
