Hi all
Yes I must agree funny term
The main thing to keep in mind is there are 2 types of midi file .

Type 0 is one Track containing up to 16 separate instruments on 16 separate channels.

Type 1 is 16 tracks with each instrument on its own track going to any of the 16 channels. Normally to keep thing simple I send track 1 to ch 1, track 2 to ch 2
Not forgetting to keep ch 10 for drums of course.

Some software allows you to choose which type of midi to save but not always,
Yamaha keyboards always save midi as type 0

Again you sometime get a choice when opening a type 0 midi in a daw sometimes not

Sona atomatically splits a type 0 midi to separate tracks on opening
But you can save as 0 or 1.

Cubase ask if you want to dissolve a type 0 midi file

And various other terms in other software split etc.

The good thing is most software will open either type including Yamaha Keyboards

So basically what I am saying is if there is a choice of what type to save as.
Try to save as the type most useful to the application and options available to you, in the program you intend to open it in.
.
Myself I always save as Type 1 if I can, as I like separate tracks / channels for each instrument.
Have fun
Mike
