Song Projects and Export

Manage autosaved arrangements, back them up as Song packages, or render a stereo mix and stems.

USER SONGS and autosave

Open the Songs library from SONG. The library states SONGS AUTOSAVE / PATTERNS STAY GLOBAL: arrangements save as you edit, while the shared BANK remains available across documents.

    Select 16-bit or 24-bit WAV, then STEREO MIX or MIX + STEMS.

Understand range and MIDI limits

  • SELECTED RANGE is a time span from the first selected item's start to the last selected item's end. It renders the full mix in that span, including other tracks; it does not isolate only the selected clips.
  • LOOP requires a valid Song loop range. ENTIRE SONG uses the whole arrangement.
  • Offline export never sends MIDI to external hardware. A MIDI-only track has no audio to render: record the external instrument's return onto an Audio track first.
  • Track stems include track processing before the master chain; the stereo mix includes master processing. Exported files share the same duration so they line up when placed at the same start in another app.
  • A Pattern MIDI export, Pattern audio loop, native Pattern file, and Song mix serve different handoffs. Choose the native Song package for editable project transfer.
