Exporting MIDI from Logic Pro X and importing into Cubase Pro 9.5 dramas

[fgimian]

Hey guys, I'm hoping someone has an idea on this.

When I export MIDI from Logic Pro X and import that into Cubase Pro 9.5, each individual region becomes its own MIDI channel in Cubase which leads to hundreds of channels.

I would like to simply export the MIDI and have a one channel -> one channel mapping from Logic Pro X to Cubase Pro.

Screenshot of a single track being imported (results in 180 MIDI channels in Cubase, one per region):





Any ideas?

I would say consolidate ("join") regions in a channel to tracks.
Cubase sees these regions as events (& when you import a .mid with *parts* which have empty areas it cuts them into events).
I don't know why it is assigning channels, but give it something way simpler than this.

Exactly.

Excellent stuff, thanks guys. Simply joining the regions in Logic before export did the trick. Really appreciate the replies

Yes. I just ran into this. Apparently Logic wants to write a type 1 file if you select more than one clip and don’t join them. Why they don’t allow for type 0 if they are all on the same track is anyone’s guess.
