Can you tell me how to quickly convert .fsc to midi ?

I have FLS projects that need to be transferred to another platform (Reaper). Exporting samples is not a problem, because there are Export project data files, but the situation with MIDI tracks is quite different. It takes a long time to save each pattern with melodies from a piano roll. Is there any way to speed up the process? It would be great if I have a program for it, like FSC TO MIDI converter Suggest some other variants...

 

It's not an easy task as internally FLS doesn't work with MIDI. I don't know why but they implemented their own system of notes data that converts from or to MIDI.

But... There is an option.

1. Make a copy of your project. Give it a proper name ("Progect_MIDI", for example). Your project will be converted, it seems that this cannot be undone.

2. Go in the main menu to: Tools > Macros > Prepare for MIDI export. Your project will be converted after this (all channels will be converted to MIDI Out channels, synths will be removed).

3. Then go in the main menu: File > Export > Midi file... It has to do what you want (may be).

As I understand it exports a project entirely.

I almost never used it, tried it many times ago, it worked but did it a bit oddly (I mean the procedure). Try it on a copy of your project (create a new version and try).

 

You can export an entire project as MIDI from FL Studio. Manual. Now I haven't tried it myself, but most probably it will dump all pattern MIDI data to MIDI organised according to channel and pattern name. Shouldn't be much of a problem if you have named stuff correctly inside your project. Also check this. Some data is bound to get lost in this process (pattern automation etc.)

 

@demberto And if I have each instrument separately in .fsc , that is bass.fsc, organ.fsc? Is there any way to speed up the process?

 

I can extract note information from the FSC, but I don't know how to encode it into MIDI.
