Import Midi Files Length

Posted

Hi

When you import a midi file in synfire appears the import window:

And in the upper is SMF Information

The title of the midi file for example hola.mid

Tempo:     Signature:      Offset:     Length:    Key:

100           4/4                0m          1m           ?

In the Length if i put the mouse cursor over it says (Duration of span to import) ok the midi file imagine has 4m and i want to import only the first 1m

I write in Length 1m and when is imported the midi file has the original 4m not 1m

I have tested with several midi files and they are not affected but this 1m

Is necessary to do another thing to import is as 1m (for example) ?

 

As you can see in the gif video the change in the length does not affect to the midi file imported and the real midi file imported has more than 4 bars

 

-Another thing

In the import midi window if i select the midi file in the tracks field and press the play button (to the rigth of the stop button) does not sound the midi file but when i import it in the library window yes sounds when i select it

What must i do to hear the midi file in the import window before to import it in synfire?

 

Cheers

The length limit has a bug that will be fixed with the next update. If it is of any help, using an offset > 0 will not show this bug. So if you can import the 2nd measure instead, it should work.

As for the sounds, try the "General Midi" switch.
