Midi type 0 to type 1 on Mac.. please help

Post by taffmonster » Fri Jan 20, 2012 1:54 am

Ok, I teach music at a junior high school in Japan and I have a midi file that appears to be type 0 and I need to convert it to type 1 so that I can import it into ableton. If I open it in garageband or sibleus it splits the tracks no worries, but when I drag it into ableton all the separate instruments come out on one single track. Since garageband doesn't export midi i can't export from there and it seems siblius doesn't either.

I've looked all over for midi converters, the only one that seems to be designed for mac is dent du midi but its power pc and is no longer supported by lion.

Please help

I believe this is exactly what you're (we're) looking for: http://download.cnet.com/Sweet-MIDI-Con ... 46795.html
I just found this after struggling with the same problem and this seems to work perfectly!
It is surprising and unfortunate that midi file tools are not more readily available
