Hey!
Say Ive got a single midi file containing different parts on a bunch of different midi channels. How can I extract each channel to a separate clip? On C Lab Creator it used to be called’ demix all channels’
Thanks for any help
separate midi channels
Re: separate midi channels
If you drag this file into Live it will split the multichannel type 0 MIDI into separate clips in existing tracks or make new ones if necessary.mattb wrote:Hey!

If you already have it inside Live it can't be a type 0 file.
Basic gear info: Macbook Pro with macOS 10.12, Ableton Live Suite version 9 (64bit) with Ozone, Push and APC20 as controllers.
Re: separate midi channels
Thanks but I think its the other way round for type 0 vs 1, see manual:
SMF0
All MIDI data is stored in one track only, separated exclusively by the MIDI channel.
If such a file is imported into Live, all MIDI data will appear in one track.
SMF1
The MIDI data is stored in separate tracks/channels.
If such a file is imported into Live, the MIDI data will appear in different tracks.
Up until Live 9, SMF1 formatted files appear as a folder in Live's browser, which can be opened to import only some of its tracks if necessary.
I tried a type 1 file and it worked. so you were on the right track.
