RE: Saving/loading Patterns -Eloader *not a valid midi file error* trying to load

2014-03-13 by <smw-mail@...>

I took one more stab at the file. I downloaded it and opened it with a MS utility called debug. It loads and the file looks superficially like a standard midi file, but evidently there is something wrong with it. It would take some doing, but it would be possible to look at it byte by byte (or chunk by chunk) to try to see what the issue is. Its been a while since I looked at the components of the standard midi file.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. This will gnaw at me, so maybe I will think of something.

Steve
