Midi Automation Track import?

challtaq

Hi,
I'm new here - checking out if StageTraxx3 might be my go-to App for the future ^^
...
Please enlighten me:

By composing my Backing Track etc. in a DAW of my choice (Cubase) , my music generally includes Tempo Changes. Aside of this I using a distinct MIDI Automation Track (.mid) for executing all PC, CC, etc. necessary...
Please mind, that this Midi Track does include stamped-in Tempo Changes.
Does StageTraxx3 have an import functionality for this?

... I rather wouldn't want to start coding, as everything's running already.

thanks!

challtaq sounds like you are running midi tracks in a daw . ST3 is not a .mid player it only plays audio files , you need to convert all your midi tracks to audio then export them as audio files to ST3 , you can record a click track if you need to lock in to tempo changes while no audio is playing otherwise you could program visual click in lyrics screen and run in sync visually.

No, ST3 works only with timestamps which are independent of tempo changes. ST3 is not aware of a song tempo or any changes to this.

peter thanks first.
so, maybe I just run a Click-Track and won't use your tempo features.
...
BUT what's with my second question:
Does StageTraxx3 support .Mid-Track import?

The B.Beat FROM M-Live does it - if you're not understanding my question: https://youtu.be/6UVoB7KTVTM

Damir I don't think it's an audio track, if I'm reading it right. It's a midi track for automation that has all of the program and control changes to change banks, patches, etc. Some also use this track to control lighting.

It's nice to be able to program a midi track with those commands in a DAW right along side of your audio tracks, making it simple to have things timed precisely.

Perhaps if there was a way to convert a midi track to ST3's midi notation, that would be helpful.

A visual metronome feature is on my todo list for version 3.8. It is not 100% sure it will make it but if it makes it into version 3.8. The song tempo setting will be a bit more useful.

hello Riff -
you're exactly right,

I need a MIDI-Track for automation of my Pedalboard, and light-show.
What l wanted to point out was:
If there is an integration for MIDI-Tracks (.mid) the file format may also allow to content tempo-information (via MIDI-Clk), which would be a necessity for me to be enabled, as my music contains tempo changes.

sorry before for the confusion

...
The rest of the audio tracks will run as Wavs.
