How to get the MIDI out of a Pro Tools project
Pro Tools sessions are a closed format, and opening one usually means owning Pro Tools. This opens the session in the browser and gives you what MIDI it holds as a Standard MIDI file.
- Add your session: A .ptx, or an older .ptf or .pts.
- It is read on our server: The session format is a structured binary document. Reading it happens on our side, which is why this one needs a free account.
- Take the MIDI: The session opens in the studio, and any MIDI tracks in it download as one Standard MIDI file.

Questions about the Pro Tools session to MIDI converter?
We have answers.
Do I need an account?
Yes, a free one. Reading a Pro Tools session happens on our server rather than in your browser, unlike the FL Studio and REAPER converters.
My session came back with no MIDI
Then the session holds none; its parts are audio. Audio to MIDI transcribes a recording into notes, which is the conversion you want in that case.
Do I need Pro Tools installed?
No. That is the point of opening it here.
Which versions?
.ptx, and the older .ptf and .pts.

Most Pro Tools sessions are mostly audio
This is worth saying plainly before you upload anything: Pro Tools is an audio-first program, and a great many sessions contain no MIDI at all: the arrangement is regions of recorded audio. A MIDI export can only ever return notes that the session actually stores as notes, so a session of audio tracks will come back with nothing to write. If the parts you want are audio, the audio-to-MIDI converter is the tool that turns a recording into notes.
Opening a session without Pro Tools
The session opens in the browser either way, so a .ptx from a collaborator is readable without a licence: the tracks, their names and the arrangement, whether or not there is MIDI to take out of it.
Older sessions
.ptf and .pts sessions from earlier versions are accepted alongside .ptx.
