The EASIEST way to import MIDI to MPC? (Software & Standalone)

[@livestreamsuk6004]

This is really straightforward on my MPC4000 as a new user of the SE and One Plus sad to hear this. Great tutorials BTW

[@WatermarkHigh]

Thank you! Oh really? I had no idea. That is wild! That the old machines got it right but that they made such weird decisions with the new ones. Yeah, it's been like this for a while, so I'm assuming this is the way they want it which is so strange to me but anyway...enjoy the new machines 🙌

Bro just go to song mode after loading all midi, create a song from all sequences and hit Convert to one sequence. Thats if you want everything one track (track 1). When you want things on diff tracks gotta use the copy method for sure. Could also load all midi patterns in the arp progressions folder as a cheat code for pad perform to spit your midi out in arp format

Thanks Akai needs to work on this an midi in standalone too instead of havin to use the vst all the time

It would be so much nicer to be able to import a MIDI file directly into the current track. But that wouldn't be user-hostile enough for Akai. Their designers are on their own strange planet.

[@WatermarkHigh]

Yeah, that would have been the intuitive or logical way to go about it. Strange choice indeed. Haha.

[@Crazy-Society]

Absolutely, I can't believe they have ever used it for music making.

[@djsaltbeats]

Definitely takes too long. MIDI on track would be great. Let’s go Akai

what you did is how most people do it.

It's 2024 and you can't drag and drop a MIDI file 🙈
