Midi downloads dont download the entire midi

Open angurishu opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

Just for some clarification; I am fully able to download the midi file completely with no issues from my browser using the script, however, when I import the file into my daw, inside the midi file the score seems to be only half of what was shown on the website itself. As in it would download the chords or even the bass line but not the melodies of the singer and whatnot - is there a fix for this?

It happens to most files, but in some cases the midi files show the complete notes so I don't know what's going on

If I remember correctly, that is Musescore's fault rather than the extension's, as I often had similar issues (most notably with Anvil Studio) back when downloading was free and the extension wasn't needed. To get around it, I used a program (don't remember which, but it shouldn't be too difficult to find one) that did not have issues with Musescore's MIDIs and re-exported them, which would then get them working just fine.

@angurishu are you using FL Studio? Please don't say "my daw" as it gives no useful information. If you're using FL Studio, make sure you aren't simply opening the MIDI file from File Explorer, and instead use File > Import > MIDI file from FL Studio.

@PeterNjeim Sorry about that! But yeah I do use FL Studio and I tried importing midi the way you said so by importing using the file option however it still doesn't have all the midi data unfortunately. I used ableton and it imports things properly in multiple midi files but FL Studio has only one midi file, usually the lower bass notes. Is there any other way to counteract this?

Your usage of the word "file" is a little wrong, you probably mean "channel". FL Studio by default should import all MIDI tracks into separate channels, make sure this option is checked when importing. Also make sure that the "All tracks" option is selected for the "Which tracks to import?" option. If it still doesn't work you can send me the URL of your song and I can determine the problem myself

The script downloads midi files directly from musescore.com's server. We couldn't help with anything sorry.
