What parameters does a MIDI file need to have in order to be importable? I have plenty that I've authored myself, and they are just notes, no PC or CC. They won't import. So then I found a MIDI by someone else that worked, and the only difference I saw was that their MIDI had a PC to define the instrument. So then I wrote a PC into my MIDI and it still won't import. Is there something else I'm missing?
Files by other authors, and files from this site, work fine. But the MIDI files I export from my DAW's piano roll don't work. I use Reaper, if that's pertinent.
I might be able to figure out what's causing this, do you want to send over the file that doesn't import so that I can see what might be going wrong? This might be an issue with the library OS uses to parse MIDI files, which hasn't been updated since 2008. If I can find what's causing this, I could probably patch that.
