5.2.7 Exporting MIDI Output
Each Instrument Slot in Hollywood Orchestrator modifies the MIDI input based on the
selected Arranger Mode, and then passes the modified MIDI input to the Sequencer,
where rhythms and melodic lines are generated from simple chords.
The MIDI output from Hollywood Orchestrator contains this modified MIDI data, which
can then be recorded internally in your DAW. This recorded MIDI can then be transferred
to other instruments in your project, to playback alongside Hollywood Orchestrator.
PLEASE NOTE: This functionality largely depends on how a DAW handles the internal MIDI
routing of a plugin. The DAWs included in this section are able to record the MIDI
output from Hollywood Orchestrator on individual channels. Other DAWs are unable to
record the MIDI output without the help from 3rd party plugins, while others are only
able to record MIDI output that is merged into a single channel. Please refer to the docu-
mentation of the DAW you’re working with for details on how to record the MIDI output
from a plugin.
