Re: Save to standard MIDI file..

I've now looked at the MIDI file you sent me:

There seems to be absolutely nothing wrong with the format as such, so
there's no bug in BC Manager in this respect.

The main factor contributing to the relatively large size of this
particular file is that it consists of TWO separate Control Change
dumps (each being a sequence of CC messages for (roughly) controllers
1-32, then 81-104, 33-80 and 105-110).

So I can only assume that you pressed the "Snapshot" button twice
(without clearing the recorded messages in the MIDI input messages
window), then selected them all, and then saved them. So the best
thing to do is probably to press the "Clear" button in the MIDI input
messages window after each save: in that way your MIDI files won't
contain multiple sets of control change messages. Remember that only
those messages are saved that are currently selected (highlighted).

Hope this helps,
Mark.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
