There are several topics asking for MIDI import, and you even said you’re working on it and will try to implement it. Because of the existing topics, I didn’t create any. So I will request this feature too. It’s obvious that smart random is much more useful with your own pattern styles even along with the new neural network.

Do you need more user requests?

> Hello JSmoove, Thanks for reaching out. Playbeat features a real-time pitch shifting engine that currently does not support importing MIDI files due to its complex handling as each Sequencer has a C -2 to G8 range and not just a single note to receive as input. However, it is possible that with our upcoming version update we will add the option to be able to import midi using a fixed note setup, probably the General MIDI key map.

> Hello Cambler, I hope you’re doing well and safe. Thanks for reaching out. This option is not currently available but this would definitely a great feature and we will try to add this a new updates roll-out.

Please don’t ignore this, I’m really wondering if this is enough to consider implementing midi import with standard mapping.
