Hello all.
I have imported a midi file in BIAB by selecting FILE - IMPORT - IMPORT MELODY FROM MIDI FILE, and reassigned each track to individual Utility Tracks.
The song plays and the tracks have been split correctly and I can mute each one independently, however the tempo is nowhere near to the correct 155 BPM. In order to play at the correct (or near to) tempo, I have to increase the tempo percentage to 150%. Before I did the above process, I set the new song tempo to 155 BPM and disabled the Styles.
If I just load the Midi file normally in BIAB, with every track playing on the melody track, then it will play at the correct speed.
Is this normal behaviour or is there a bug?
I know... I could use RB instead of BIAB but I prefer BIAB.
Band-in-a-Box® for Windows
Version 2022 (920)
64 bit application
Pleas let me know if I am missing something.
Thanks.

So far in our tests it appears that when a MIDI file is imported that it follows the tempo of the song project. You could send us a copy of your MIDI file to test and that way we can replicate your exact steps. Please email it to support@pgmusic.com
Best,
Chantelle

Hello Chantelle,
I will send you the both the midi and the SGU files for you to test.
I made sure to start a new song in BIAB, set the key, set the last chorus at 160, Set the project tempo at 155 bpm and the imported the midi file. Assigned each track to individual Utility tracks and started to play the song.
It play much slower than the 150 bpm. If the tempo is increased to play at 150%, this is near to the original speed.
Hopefully this info helps you troubleshooting.

You should have submitted it to the PG Retirement Community  . Those guys will tear it apart and either confirm a problem or find a fix.

 Well, the problem has been explained here but no one seems to have tried the above procedure. My patience has already been tested previously on this forum! I think 3 years wait must be the record. Can that be added tho the Guinness book of records?

I read you description of the problem and all I can say is, I have done very similar manipulation of midi files into BIAB in the past and I have never seen this issue with Tempo. I thought if we had the same file we could try to confirm the issue. Maybe it is the current version?? Short of that, this problem just has not been reported before.

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
