Is it possible to export midi tracks?

Thank you for the addon!

No. It handles MIDI message input and output only. There are a few C and C++ libraries out there for handling MIDI files. You’d basically receive messages, calculate a delta time from the last message, then hand it to the file library.

thank you for the quick reply! To send the midi message I would need to open a virtual port I believe? however I can't open a virtual port on Windows with openVirtualPort I have "MidiOutWinNN::openVirtualPort: cannot be implemented in Windows MM MIDI API!"

No. You can use open() with a "normal" MIDI port. Virtual ports are not available on Windows as noted by:

As noted in the readme, you can use something which acts as a router between MIDI applications, like loopMIDI.
