Importing MIDI files from Notion missing tempo map

Post by Rubens »

Hi there,

According to the manual I can drag and drop in several different ways the imported MIDI file, and I am not having problems with that, but, with Notion files (Presonus) part of the tempo map is always missing. The meters are okay but the tempo isn't being imported at all. Tried already with other DAW's like Logic or S1 and it works fine. I wonder who is the bad guy here...

Thanks,

Rubens

Fortunately there are workarounds.

You may have to import into Logic then export from Logic Into DP.

Since Logic supports MusicXML import and DP does not, I’ve used LPX as a translator for that. I have Notion 6 but use it mainly as a translator for MusicXML exported from Sibelius.

you're completely right Mike, that's exactly what I'm doing...
