SMF Import With Tempo Changes?

I imported a midi file to SFE. The screen describing the file stated 'Contains Tempo Changes' ... or something like that.

 

When I imported the file, there were no tempo changes.

 

How are tempo changes handled on import?

Synfre Express does not support graphical tempo maps, which is a Pro feature, so imported tempo changes would be reduced to a constant tempo per container.

You seem to have discovered a cosmetic bug, though. There should be no "Tempo Changes" switch on the import dialog for SFE in the first place.

'Duh!'

 

Sorry, I read this and forgot.

 

BTW, I did not see a 'switch.' I just read it in the little dialog box that gives info about the file. So, it probably is not a cosmetic bug.

 

I assume that even without being able to import the tempo changes it is valuable to have the info to know that they are there.
