Windows 7, Realband 2010.5 (don't hurt me!)
My .seq file has five user-recorded/captured (not BB-generated) MIDI tracks. Each track is designated type-1 MIDI and is on a separate channel. When I save a track to file (TRACK -> SAVE TRACK TO FILE...) as type-1 MIDI and then import that track elsewhere (for example, Synthfont for rendering), the track always imports with, for lack of a better term, stuff that shouldn't be there.
For example ...
I saved the bass track.
I opened Synthfont and opened the saved bass track. Synthfont says the file contains this info ...
- Tr #1 - "Untitled song"
- Tr #2 - Instrument aa, 3 EVENTS ...
MIDI PORT = 0
SEQUENCER-SPECIFIC =
TRACK NAME = aa
- Tr #3 - Bass, 793 EVENTS, started with the same three as for Tr #2, then all the notes and other controls
- Tr #4 - #6, same as Tr #2 but for instruments bb, cc, and dd.
Why is that there? Where do I quash it in Realband?
Thanks.
-Mel

What happens if you open the "Saved Track" into RB as a new file?? Is there unexpected additional Midi Data???

Yes, bringing the saved track back into RB results in several apparent tracks, all but one of which is empty. BTW, if, before I save the track, I remove all unwanted tracks from the SEQ arrangement, ... no surprise ... the track contains only the one chunk of material I want.

As a suggestion, try to "Copy" the Midi Track to Clipboard and "Paste" to Synthfont. This is likely to be free of the extra data but this will depend on the destination program.

Well, yes, I can remove the empty tracks myself, but the question remains ... why doesn't RB save *only* the single track data?

... When I save a track to file (TRACK -> SAVE TRACK TO FILE...) as type-1 MIDI and then import that track elsewhere ... Type 1 MIDI contains multiple tracks .. try saving as type 0

I'm using RB 2014 and there's been lots of changes. When I tried to save a midi track it only lets me save it as a .SEQ file. There's no option to save it as midi. But, the file itself is already a .mid file. Try using "save as" and saving the whole project as a .mid file and then copy one track to the clipboard.
FYI, 2914 has the Drag and Drop function. This creates a little box that allows you to D&D any track to another DAW and I suspect that would do what you want. Maybe time to upgrade.

When I save a track to file (TRACK -> SAVE TRACK TO FILE...) as type-1 MIDI and then import that track elsewhere ... If you save it as type 1 it saves as a multitrack file. When a type 1 file is opened in a lot of software/hardware it will default to opening to multiple tracks, and if multiple tracks don't exist, it may ask if you want to (or it may just do it) separate any MIDI channel data to it's own respective track. MIDI channel 1 on track 1 etc. What you are not telling us in your original example if the multiple tracks contain multiple or separate MIDI channels.
