Arrange view offers you a number of options for processing MIDI items as a whole (rather than working on notes or note selections). These are available by selecting Item processing from the right-click context menu:
Explode multichannel audio or MIDI items to new one channel items: this will create a new track and a new item for each channel that contains MIDI data. For example, if you have data on (say) channels 1, 4 and 5 this will create three separate items, one for each channel.
Explode MIDI items by note row (pitch): this will create a separate track/item for each row that contains notes.
Convert active take MIDI to .mid file reference: creates a .mid file for the track MIDI data. If you now view source properties you can confirm that this data is now stored in a .mid file.
Convert active take MIDI to in-project source data: this is the exact opposite of the previous command. It converts data currently held in a .mid file into MIDI notes, as if they had been entered directly into the MIDI Editor.
