To get others commenting on this, it would be a good idea to post your question in the Realband forum.

A Format 0 file (Midi 0) contains a single track and represents a single song performance. Format 1 (Midi 1) may contain any number of tracks, enabling preservation of the sequencer track structure, and also represents a single song performance. Format 2 (Midi 2) may have any number of tracks, each representing a separate song performance.

I have never come across a MIDI format 2 file but it is very easy to change a format 0 file to a format 1 file and visa-versa. Here is a free midi file converter:

Note that I have never used this program as I can easily convert MIDI file formats in Sonar.

Welcome to the forums and I hope this helps. If the file is indeed a format 0 file and you are having problems converting it feel free to send it to me and I will convert it for you.
