Importing MIDI data
Already existing MIDI files can be imported into a Samplitude VIP project as objects.

Keyboard shortcut: Shift + M
Mouse: Drag & drop from file browser or Windows Explorer
Set the playback cursor to the position at which the MIDI file should be inserted.
If you import MIDI files, please note that only type 0 and 1 MIDI files are compatible with the
import function. Each file should end with *.MID file extension so that it can be recognized
as a valid format.
The following dialog will be displayed automatically:
Standard MIDI files often also contain tempo information. Samplitude displays this
information in BPM (beats per minute) in a separate section of the dialog. At this stage of
importing, you can decide whether you want to adjust the virtual project tempo to the
tempo of the imported MIDI file.
If you select the option "All MIDI channels in one VIP track", Samplitude inserts the MIDI
object into the currently selected virtual project. The MIDI object that is created contains all
the tracks of the MIDI file.
