Hi Guys,

I tried importing midi files to create new rythms but not all files seem to work
even when exported from the same software (jammer).

Is there a special format the midi files need to be in for more consistant imports?

Thanx
Fred Forester

The import is tricky because JS has to convert the static MIDI data into the 'rules' of the JS brain, which is like 'Apples' and 'Oranges'.

We are working on an improved MIDI import in Jamstix 2 where imported data is fed into the brain rather than used to steer the brain.

Hi Ralph,

I am a software developer and have messed with the java midi interface a little. I found if I read a format1 midi file copy track 0 as is drop all the tracks
that do not contain channel 10 data. merge all the tracks that contain channel 10 data into track1 of the output file. I get more consistent imports.

Thanx
Fred

The import does expect nothing but MIDI drum data (regardless of channel) in the file so that explains why you're getting better results with the filtering you've described.

The import function was designed to import MIDI drum patterns, such as the ones that come with BFD, GrooveMonkee etc., not full MIDI songs.
