Exporting multiple midi tracks like the procedure for exporting multiple audio tracks?

[a.t. vish]

I have not seen a way to export multiple midi tracks of a project the same way one would export multiple audio tracks.  I dont want just ONE midi file with seperate track info (MIDI Format 1).  I have, say, 20 seperate midi tracks in my project, and I want to export them, and end up with 20 seperate midi files, so I can import them separately into another device that utilizes midi commands.  What am I missing?

You can select all clips in a MIDI track, bounce them into one clip event, then drag & drop the clip to a folder in the browser or to a directory in Windows File Explorer (like desktop et al) one at a time.

Not sure what happens if you try to do that with multiple tracks simultaneously. 

Might be smart to make sure that all tracks start at bar 1 beat 1 so they will all line up in new project.

Midi is totally different than audio. 
in other words there’s no option to export midi as stems. Only Audio. 

Most Daw’s you simply drag the midi from a project to a windows folder. It’s all a typical Window move like any other data. So you can drag a bunch of data by using Ctrl .

Dragging out a selection of multiple clips will get you one file per clip, whether separated by time, tracks or lanes of a track.

Ya, thanks for the info.  The next obstacle is the time grid.  That is, each of these midi files line up with an associated audio clip in my project.  When I export the multiple audio files, I need the midi data that is synced to also export in some way that I can drop into another device and have the midi line up correctly with the associated audio.  I can export audio in various ways so that each audio file starts at time '0'.  But I cant think of a way to also export the associated midi so it is also at time '0', thus lining my commands up with the audio file.  I think I will have to simply transfer each individual set of audio and associated midi to a new project, starting at the beginning of a track, and export each set individually for this to work.

The easiest way is to just save your project as a Standard MIDI File.  The positions of all of your MIDI clips will be retained within that.

Alternatively, you could add a text event at time zero in each MIDI clip.  You could then drag/drop the clips to a folder.
