Hi.
I just got an 'error 230' out of Power Tracks Pro from a MIDI file I created in BIAB. I know the problem is with BIAB because Windoze Media Player craps out when I play the same MIDI file...no problem playing non-BIAB produced MIDI files. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi C/Guy,
I have just loaded BIAB-created MIDI files into PTP and all works well. I'm not sure why it does not work ok for you. A couple of ideas spring to mind, though, that might be worth investigating.
1. Does the MIDI load back into BIAB ok?
2. Have you tried a couple of different MIDI creations to see if it is a consistent error?
(It might be that there was a computer glitch in creating your file and, as a result, the file was corrupted. The above would double check that it is indeed a problem.)
3. Check what versions of the software you have and download the latest software update for it.
4. If all else fails, it might be worth resetting to factory settings (Options >> Return to factory settings).
Regards,
Noel

Could be the case that only one MIDI file got corrupted somehow.
Have you tried creating another MIDI file with BIAB using another songfile?
The PGMusic Demo songs represent a fast way to test that. Load a Demo Song and make a MIDI file out of it.

I think I've figured it out. If the 'Memo' field is blank on the main screen (and I specifically mean the 'Memo' field on the main screen; the 'Memo' field on the popup screen seems not to be a factor) and you create a MIDI file, that MIDI will be corrupt and crash PTP w/an 'Error: 230'. The Windoze Media Player will lockup and who knows what other programs will do. I've reproduced this several times now so I'm sure this is the problem. Others might try reproducing it as well. It seems to me that this is a BUG, and a pretty well obscure one too.

Which memo field are we talking about. Is it the song title field (the one that says "Untitled Song" when you do a file-new? If I blank that one out, and make a MIDI file, it loads in OK for me to RealBand.
Have Fun!

It's the 'Song Title' field. I actually just reporduced this again, causing Windows Media Player to lock up. If I blank out the 'Song Title' field, and create a MIDI, the MIDI will crash PTP w/an 'Error: 230' and lock up Windows Media Player if I try to play the MIDI file in those programs. I don't know about RealBand since I don't use it. BTW I'm running BIAB 2009 on Windows Home Vista. Solution is simply to never leave 'Song Title' blank. Very obscure bug none the less.
