1. Install MIDI Yoke (a "virtual MIDI cable", which connects one
software to another).
2. Get your stuff done in Ableton.
3. Install any other MIDI sequencer that can record multitrack - I
think Smasher would do (it's free and seems interesting on its own),
but you can use anything else. I would (personally) use my old,
venerable Cakewalk 3.0 - no multitrack, but you can easily do "split
by channel" later.
4. Connect the output of Ableton to MIDI Yoke, then use it as input
for Another Sequencer (AS).
5. Set AS to be a MIDI slave - external MIDI Clock etc.
6. Set Ableton to transmit MTC (MIDI Time Code), so you can press
Record in AS and it won't start recording until you press Play in
Ableton.
7. Record MIDI in AS, export to multitrack MIDI file.
8. Upload thru Eloader and enjoy.

Yeah, there's some hassle involved. But once you get this procedure
working, it will be a no-brainer. And if you find Ableton more
powerful than CS in building patterns, I think it's worth of one day
spent on getting those things rolling.

Cheers,
Bruno
