The MIDI file is inserted in the project tree as a new segment file called DemoMIDI.sgp. Below the file name in the project tree, you will see the internal name for the segment component, DemoMIDI.
The Segment Designer Window is displayed in the following figure, showing the new segment.
All the MIDI data from the source file, including tempo, notes, continuous curves, and patch assignments, has been imported into the segment. This data is arranged in horizontal tracks.
The Segment Designer window contains the following elements:
The row at the top of the window shows the measures and beats as vertical lines, and numbers the measures. The imported MIDI file contains 13 measures of music, and the new segment automatically has the same number of measures. You may have to scroll to view all 13 measures.
Contains a tempo mark for the segment.
Contains a time signature for the segment.
Contains the chord changes for patterns. Because the segment contains only fixed sequences of notes, not style patterns, this track does not affect playback of the segment.
Contains all the note data imported into the segment, including the volume, velocity, continuous controller data, and channel assignments for each MIDI part. At the left, each part is labeled with the track group followed by a colon, the number and name of the performance channel on which the part plays, and the name of the part as derived from the MIDI file. This name does not necessarily reflect the actual instrument assignment for that part.
Contains a set of instrument assignments and settings. The band settings from the original MIDI file are at the beginning of the track and are called Band1.
