MIDI File Import - Harmony Detection

Posted

Hi,

Here is an picture showing the result of a Synfire import:

these were the settings:

Why have 4 MIDI chords in the file become 8 chords in Synfire?

The MIDI file is attached.

Background FWIW, my goal here was just to snag the 4 chords for use as a Harmony parameter, working via a separate Arrangement to get there.   

The possibility of being able to do such directly I've asked about in a separate post.

It looks like the midi file only contained the 4 chords but started 1 bar late. You told it to import 8 bars, maybe synfire left the original harmony (key) in the 'unused' bars resulting in a Bb at the start and 3 bars of Bb at the end?
