I have MIDI drum track that has a tempo map embedded in it. (created in another DAW)
 
If I open the MIDI file in Pro Tools it will read the tempo map and insert the tempo changes in the correct places.
 
I can't seem to get Sonar X2a to do this. Is it possible?
 
Thanks.
 
 
 

I always do File>Open in Sonar, for midi files, rather than an import of midi.

How are you opening the midi file in Sonar?

I have downloaded midi files from some progressive rock groups, and these midi files have all kinds of meter changes in them, and Sonar always opens them just fine for me.

I will double-check right now, in case Xa does something different than X1 or X2.  (It has been a while since I did open a meter-changing midi file in Sonar, although I record midi all the time in odd-meters with no issues).

Anyways, look for another post in a little bit.  I just took some pain meds, and I want to let them kick in prior to my trying to sit at the desk for any length of time.

I was using the Import Method....I'll it with File Open.
 
 

Yeah, that should work better for you.

You can add the TTS-1 synth and everything should then play back - TTS-1 is like a nicer sounding multi-timbral general midi synth.

Please post back with results.

Thanks,

That did it.
 
If I Import the MIDI file the tempo map doesn't come with it. If I Open the MIDI file it seems that it does.
Thanks!

TTS-1 synth What is similar to this vsti. Some of the sound in TTS-1 are not that good.
