Hi Trax, thanks for contributing: isn't it the case, however, that if I set the channel box to "All" then all the MIDI information on the current track will be displayed and be able to be edited? ( I've seen from the event list window that notes on a single track come on different channels - the distribution seems to be pitch-related; also that those channels seem to have nothing to do with the assignable channel numbers that you see on MIDI tracks in the tracks window. So there's channels and then there's channels and I clearly don't know the half of it yet.) ....




You may be working on a MIDI file you got from somewhere else that is not the Standard Type 1 MIDI file.

If it is a Type 0 file, then all the patches (instruments) may hav ebeen on ONE track, but still have to be on different MIDi channels in order to play different MIDI Instrument Patches. One Patch per channel.

If that is the case, you should open the original unaltered MIDI file and then use the "Extract to Channels" command first. That should put each instrument, and thus each channel, on a different track.
