Can scaler export MIDI files directly ？

EDIT: I have since found that you can indeed drag & drop chords right out of Scaler into the Windows Explorer (file system directory). I suspect the same is possible on a Mac with the Finder.
Summary
I don’t think so. But
since you have to run Scaler in a DAW anyway, and most DAWs let you export piano roll note patters as MIDI files, you could just drag & drop MIDI from Scaler into a DAW track, and then have the DAW export the MIDI file. At least that’s what I do when this need arises. Perhaps there are other ways too.

only xml？ can‘t midi？ 
If it is that important to you, you could put in a feature request and see if there’s broader demand for that.
I’m not familiar with other DAWs but when using Scaler 2 in Logic you can drag MIDI anywhere. Like to the desktop or a folder of your choice. Is that what you mean?
Yes Indeed you can!!!
Wow it really pays to not read the manual or watch every Plugin Boutique video 
THANK YOU @Bernd and OP! I had no idea about the secret menu ordering option lol of… just drag the MIDI to Windows Explorer instead of a DAW and magic! a MIDI file on a desktop/laptop! Then double click and with general midi you can really test if you got anything memorable using Windows Media Player…
Check the DAW-less quick setup…

I see that there’s a facility to export midi but you have to do it not through the export menu but through a different function which is a bit confusing I suggest that this should be incorporated into the export menu… Or at least mention of how to actually get midi out of your system.
{I’m using scalar on an iPad and use Studio One on my PC so cannot drag drop between the two!)
Hi @Fredphoesh Agreed and that is coming with next major revision due later this year.
