[SOLVED] Importing Midi file to drum track

[oscillator]

Hi,

I have MIDI drum files. When I import them they are placed on a new Midi track.

I cannot drag them to a Drum track (wrong type).

Is there any way to get Midi data from a Midi track to a Drum track so I can use the Drum editor?

What is really the difference between a Drum track and a Midi track except the editor?

Click on any Midi or Drum track's icon column in the Track List in the Arranger,
and a menu will pop up which lets you change the track type to the other kind.
HTH.

Historical note: In Werner's original MusE-2 (now called MusE Evolution in the attic repo)
the editor could be instantly switched to either midi or drum view with the click of a button.

I've been toying with ideas on how to accomplish that with our MusE-3(4). All on the back-burner priority of course, along with a lot of other stuff...

Hm, MusE is supposed to automatically detect what is a drum track when importing.

If I recall, it checks if the track to be imported is on channel 10.
Otherwise it assumes it is a midi track, since there is really no other way to distinguish them.

Are these drum file tracks not on channel 10?

I investigated, and only some of them are. The ones that are on channel 10 are correctly imported as Drum tracks. The other ones I can change. Thanks!

Maybe we should change it to an 'are you sure?' question instead of flat out refusing. Channel 10 is often right but definitely not always.
