You cannot export Midi files at all from GarageBand, neither from GarageBand on a Mac nor on the iPad.
I get two more options: 'Song' or 'Project'. If I had a Mac, I assume 'Project' would give me a Midi file, or at least something I could then use on my Mac version of Garageband. But I don't have a Mac, only a Windows PC.
If you export a GarageBand project you will be able to open the project with all tracks intact on a Mac and continue working on the project in GarageBand. GarageBand will transfer the midi as part of the project package, but not as separate files that can be extracted from the project.

You can import audio and MIDI files from your computer and use them in your GarageBand song. You can add:
![Garageband ipad midi keyboard Garageband ipad midi keyboard](/uploads/1/2/6/0/126015687/168739709.jpg)
- Audio files to an existing Audio Recorder or Amp track
- MIDI files to an existing Keyboard or Drums track
- Audio or MIDI files to new tracks
- Audio or MIDI files to your song from iCloud Drive or your iPad using the Files app
When you import an audio file, it’s converted to a 44.1 kHz sample rate, 16-bit depth format if the original format is different. Imported audio files don’t follow tempo changes you make in GarageBand.
When you import a multitrack MIDI file, GarageBand creates a new Keyboard track for each track in the MIDI file. The total number of resulting tracks cannot exceed 32 tracks. You cannot add multitrack MIDI files to cells in Live Loops.
