I now believe it's possible to do this (unless everyone else already knew how to do it and I just couldn't find it).
Here's what's I've found so far:
Exporting midi from GB on iOS is something heard of lots of people wanting to do, including myself. So I ask, why should it be difficult? Why isn’t a feature?
But since it’s not a feature, why can’t we just reach in and take it for ourselves by force if we must?
I may be missing it but I haven't found the technique yet so I've started to crack things open just a bit. Here's what we can see inside...

- I use the RouteMidi plugin to get midi out from regular midi tracks in GB. It doesn’t work for the smart instruments or drummers or drum sequencer though.
It basically works on the piano/kb type of tracks. Works good for those. - I don't know much about the smart instruments other than to my ear, the violin sounds horrible and airy compared to apps like ThumbJam.However, even if they don't rely on midi internally, I wonder if there could be some sort or mapping that could be useful (for the instruments that sound good).
- @SevenSystems really has found a niche. Comparing many of the DAWsCubasis
GarageBand
GadgetNone of them export Midi!!!WHY!!!! - Doesn’t Cubasis export MIDI? Are you sure?Auria Pro does, the option is located in the Menu dialog.

Seems to work fine for me, but I am just going by ear.

Haven’t looked closely for jitter and whatnot.My bad humour!Hmm, I wonder why it messes up GB for me? A few other people have said the same thing.It was changing 8th notes to triplets! - RouteMIDI plugin is useful. When using it with Gadget for example, midi timing while just playing/monitor is usable. But when you want to record Gadget IAA on an audio track, there will be some important offset and you will find that midi timing is also wrong. So here is the trick: record in real-time GB RouteMIDI output in Gadget sequencer with some quantize, then export to audio from Gadget and import in GarageBand for your mixdowns. Timing will be perfect. This plugin is useful when you want to sequence everything in GB.
- edited November 2018Can Midiflow be used to export MIDI out of GB into Cubasis without using a computer? How? I don't see GB as in its lists. There are videos on Midiflow for Audiobus, etc but none on just Midiflow router app.

It basically works on the piano/kb type of tracks. Works good for those.I've both RouteMIDI and Midiflow but couldn't figure out how to get MIDI out of GB into Cubasis. I tried RouteMIDI as AU in GB:set BG Audio in both apps => On
GB > Use with Music Apps => On
GB > Send MIDI Clock => On
GB > added RouteMIDI as an AU track
GB > RouteMIDI > set MIDI Out to Cubasis
matched channels in both apps
played back the GB project
tapped Record in CubasisIt records just empty events in Cubasis with no notes inside them. How did you export MIDI out of GB? There are no videos on how to use these apps. - @MobileMusic said:@CracklePot said:

Do you have midi data on the track in GB that has RouteMidi loaded on it? I usually record in GB with a piano/kb instrument track to get the midi. Then I make a new track with RouteMidi and copy the midi information to it. It will send that out to your other apps. - @CracklePot said:@MobileMusic said:@CracklePot said:

I just copied the MIDI data to the RouteMIDI's track and it worked Thanks! - I have just emailed the route midi dev about the GB timing issue. I am guessing if it hasn’t been fixed it can’t.So I don’t really see the use of Route Midi if the timing is all out. #refundtime

Awesome.
You’re welcome.Holy crap, Apple! They did it again!!Since it doesn't work with Smart Instruments, Live Loops, Drummer, etc to export MIDI - I thought I was smart -I went into the Piano Roll of a Smart Instrument
selected all MIDI notes and copied to clipboard
went into the Piano Roll of an empty region on the RouteMIDI AU track
and Pasted the MIDI notes !!!!! (not )WHERE IS THE PASTE OPTION, Apple??? Did they forget it? They are just MIDI data right - just notes and length - how does it matter if I want to paste them into any instrument's MIDI region using 'Piano Roll'? If I just want to yank out the performance part of it (MIDI data), I could apply any instrument to the track but there is no Paste option in the Piano Roll.This should work even with Drummer, etc - they are all just MIDI data - I should be able to copy/paste that data into any other track - it's just data, right? Paste option is available only for the same track's copied MIDI notes. - @MobileMusic said:

That’s why I specifically recommended using the piano/keyboard instrument to create the Midi data, and not a Smart Instrument.
It seems that only the piano in GB is using general Midi, and everything else uses some GB data format or Audio.

I was just giving Apple the benefit of the doubt, but it just as likely that they are just being weirdly restrictive.To make it more confusing, most of the Smart Instruments can be selected as the sound presets on the Piano, and sound pretty much the same when played with Midi data. - Just tried again after reinstall, timing is way out.
- @topaz said:
Just tried again after reinstall, timing is way out.I did a little testing as well.
I find that the main problem is everything is early when you record the audio back into GB, but even when you try to line up the audio with the original midi, there seems to be jitter in the timing in the recorded audio.If you aren’t using any external Midi FX processing, but just playing an instrument in AUM and recording audio back into GB, you could just load the instrument directly in GB, copy the Midi to its track, and use the merge tracks function to freeze the instrument track. - Will test but it would be nice if the dev could fix the save state as well as some kind of offset.

All the sounds are there, so you can reuse the MIDI information if you create another keyboard layer.
