Just out of curiosity, do you get the track names when you import? I.e. "melody", "counterMelody" etc? Or nothing at all?

(1 edit)

No, in Mixcraft its only the track name "Spiteful Hate in G LYDIAN (60bpm) [7659596129254323459] [jazzy]" (so its the same on evry imported track, nothing else, no number). In Mulab it only says "sequence 1", "sequence 2" and so on.

That is unfortunate. The thing is, the tracks are named, but it seems like your DAW maybe does not read the name properly. Have you tried importing MIDI from other sources? Is that any different?

Then it must be both daw that could not read the name properly.

I have just made some quick test in my usual test daw environment mulab and its definitely not on that side. I imported files from cgmusic (dont know if you know, one of the best out there, from a game develloper to who sadly does not find time to devellop further), all with track name (melody, drum.....).

Then I add a screen from a midi editor software I sometimes use for your track, "untitled", this works really good on different midi files, can im-/export different formats.....:


EDIT: Just found out something interesting maybe that could help to solve the problem, it seems that the midi editor HAS the info, but not on the track but on the CHANNEL:


That makes sense, I add the name to the channel. I can add the name to the tracks as  well.

Thought I should just inform you that this has been fixed in version 1.4 out soon.

Great, that will make testing much easier :-)
