Problem importing midi file from Phatmatik

Hi,

I am trying to import a midi file generated by Phatmatic in Live 6 on a Mac/Intel. Now the midi file seems to play in Quicktime, and I can see the *.mid file in the file browser but drag and drop in the midfi channel clip does not work. How do i import the midi file. It seems to expect multiple instrumennts or what ....

Thanks

Don't know about Live 6, but in 5 you just expand/unfold the midi file in the browser by clicking on the arrow symbol to the left of the file and then drag the actual track into a midi track.

That's the issue. there is no expansion of the file. It is a single midi file. But in quicktime the actual notes are played ... is it expecting a general midi file or something, or multiple instruments

Does phatmatik pro on the macintel allow you to drag and drop midi files directly from the gui? I couldn't live without that feature - having to save things to disk first would totally kill the flow

Well, as discussed at the moment I cannot find any method to import the midi file into Live ....

IS very strange... the drag and drop method in logic with phatmatik works perfectly but it doesnt work in Live... Can somebody help? I dont know how to import it neither, even if i save it first to the copmuter... Any help would be appreciatte.

have you tried to just alt-click phatmatik's file export button? In live 5/6 on PC I've been ablet to do this as machinate said. Just alt-click export button and drag the midi file directly into the track.

If that doesn't work then it sounds like a bug. You using the latest version of phatmatik from izotope?
