OK, I have no idea about Samplitude, but I use this very method in Pro
Tools.
Here's my work flow:
Record your MIDI in Pro Tools along to your track, with whatever
instruments you want etc.
Next, in the tracks table of your Mix window, find the track you just
recorded. VoiceOver Shift M on it. You should be presented with a menu.
If you're not, then make sure you're in the tracks table, not in the
normal list of tracks where pan, level controls, sends and inserts are
found.
From that menu, select "Export MIDI", and save it where you like.
Head to windows, and edit your MIDI file. Be careful, as there is
something wrong with either bit of software, because some times QWS sees
the midi note lengths as absolutely massive, in the billions somewhere,
so watch out for that. I think cleanup used to fix that for me.
When you've done editing, go back to Pro Tools, and hit (I think),
command shift i... If not, then it's under File -> Import -> MIDI.
Find your file, eell it to go onto a new track, you can optionally have
it delete any existing instrument / MIDI tracks (see below).
Now you have a bunch of MIDI tracks. You can now either route their ins
and outs to instruments, outboard gear, whatever, or you can cut and
paste (in the normal way), the MIDI events onto other tracks, be that
other MIDI tracks (not sure why you'd want too when you can simply
rename the existing tracks from the same menu as Export MIDI), or
instrument tracks.
Why you'd remove existing tracks:
If you've got a project with say 8 MIDI / instrument tracks, you might
wait till you've completed the piece before you edit. Then you can
select multiple tracks in that table I mentioned by finding the first,
and pressing Control Shift ; (or control shift p to go up). To jump over
tracks, just find them first in that table, bring up the menu (VoiceOver
shift m), and click hide.
This way you can export all your MIDI, then bring it back in, and not
have to go in manually and delete any old channels you might have lying
around.
Don't forget, , if you're using Software instruments, you can just
create a bunch of auxes, and insert software instruments on them, then
route your MIDI channels to those software instruments.
I'm sorry if this was a bit rambly, but I wasn't sure how much you
wanted to know.
Good luck, and let us know if you need to know anything else.
Cheers, and take care.

Hi to the list,
I just subscribed and first of all I'd like to introduce myself. I'm living in
Hanover (Germany) and I'm working as a musician in church and as a teacher. At
home I'm working with some studio-equipment, consisting of Magix Samplitude,
Avid Pro Tools and some hardware. Unfortunately the midi-editors in Pro Tools
and Samplitude are quite inaccessible. That's why I installed QWS and would
like to know, if there is any possibility to integrate QWS in Samplitude. I'm
quite new in midi-editing. My goal is to record and edit my midi-tracks from
within my DAW, without using the internal midi-editors but QWS instead. A
friend of mine told me of a virtual midi-driver and of the possibility to
integrate QWS with the help of rewire.
Some help would be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance and kind regards.
