Importing MIDI data
Existing MIDI
files can be imported into a Samplitude Music Studio 15 project as objects. However, you can also load
a MIDI file as a separate object the same way as a wave, HDP, or RAP project.
Menu:
File/Open/MIDI (*.MID) …
Shortcut:
Shift + M
Mouse: Drag & drop
from file browser or Windows Explorer.
If you import MIDI files, please note that only type 0 or 1 MIDI data is compatible with the import
function. Each file should end with *.MID so that it can be recognized as a valid format.
MIDI files are generally imported like a wave file, irrespective of whether they are imported in a VIP
window or a MIDI project window. For a VIP you can specify at which position you want to insert the
new MIDI object. Set the play cursor at this position, select a range in the desired track or drag the file
from the internal explorer or Windows Explorer directly into the track position via drag & drop.
Hint:
The following dialog is automatically displayed if a VIP is already open as an active window. If you want
to open the MIDI file in a separate MIDI project window without inserting the content into a VIP, please
ensure that no VIP project window is active. Samplitude Music Studio 15 will also display the MIDI
import dialog if only one range of a MIDI project window is dragged into a VIP track.
The import dialog contains status information on the MIDI file you want to load:
Each standard MIDI file also contains temp information. Samplitude Music Studio 15 displays this
information in a separate section of the dialog. At this position of the import you can decide whether you
want to adjust the VIP tempo to the tempo of the imported MIDI file. If necessary, a tempo marker is
displayed in the VIP.
If you select the option "All MIDI channels into one track", Samplitude Music Studio 15 inserts the MIDI
object into the currently selected VIP track. The created MIDI object then contains all MIDI channels of
the MIDI
file.
