What exactly would you want to be able to save to a standard MIDI file?:

Messages recorded in the "MIDI input messages" window?

Or "custom output" messages? Such a conversion would be limited in the
sense that custom output may contain items other than MIDI bytes,
which of course cannot be saved to a MIDI file. And of course snapshot
MIDI messages converted to custom output have lost any timing
information, so their timing values would all have to be set to zero
in the MIDI file.

To summarize: saving actual MIDI messages from the "MIDI input
messages" window to a standard MIDI file is a lot more straightforward
to implement, but it depends on your situation whether that suffices
your needs.

Mark.
