Topic: Location of Midi files in iOS App

I was using a Macbook Air for playing with Pianoteq, but that laptop recently stopped working, so I switched to using my iPad with Pianoteq 8. 

Overall, this is a very nice experience, and I like the touch interface.  However, I have trouble locating the files where my playing is recorded.  On the Mac, Pianoteq would record every keystroke and save it to files by year, month and date.  I would like to keep a record of my playing, so I am looking to do the same on the iPad.  I see there is a "Folders" section in the Options/General dialog, but this does not show me the files.  Also, when I connect to a PC, I can see Midi files I uploaded to Pianoteq, but not the ones recorded. 

Has anyone figured out where these are located and how to get them out of the iPad?

Any help appreciated,
Chris

Re: Location of Midi files in iOS App

This feature is enabled on the iPad by default, and you can access it by:

  1. Touching the demo song name "Blues Demo" until a submenu appears

  2. Choose the last option  at the bottom "Recently played on the keyboard"

  3. Touch "MIDI Archiving settings..."

  4. Touch "Browse" to see your recordings

Hope that helps?

Well, thanks for answering.  I know how to replay them, but I would like to archive them to my PC.  Since the files are on the iPad, there should be a way to get them out, no?

Once you've located the folder / file you want - try clicking on SHARE and sending it to dropbox (if installed) or downloads (which you can access through your on-line account). I don't have the iPad with me at the moment.

Thank you for that suggestion.  I would never have thought of it, but it works!  Not what I expected, but it is good enough for me.

All the best,
Chris
