Importing MIDI Files
Pro Tools | First lets you import Standard MIDI Files (SMF) into your projects.
There are two types of Standard MIDI Files, both of which are supported by Pro Tools:
• Type 0 MIDI files store data for all MIDI channels in a single track. When importing these files, Pro Tools separates the data by channel and places each track’s data in separate clips and tracks.
• Type 1 MIDI files, sometimes referred to as multitrack MIDI files, contain multiple tracks of MIDI data. When importing these files, each track’s data is placed on its own new MIDI track in the project.
Pro Tools | First cannot import proprietary sequence files. To use sequences from other MIDI applications in a project, you will need to first save them as Standard MIDI files. See the manufacturer’s documentation for details on saving Standard MIDI Files.
