Logic Pro for iPad MIDI import tempo problem (resolved)
Edit: I resolved this after reading further about Logic settings. I didn't see that Logic also changed the time signature during the import process as well as the BPM when I said "Yes" to "Also import tempo information." While the BPM was detected correctly, the time signature was also changed, to 7/16, (now that's a new mystery), but the MIDI was generated from a loop that was labeled as a 6/8 beat. The MIDI region was corrected by selecting "Yes" to import tempo information, and then overriding the incorrect time signature by manually changing it to 4/4, which then shrunk it down to the correct length of 4 bars.
It looks like either Logic Pro is doing something weird when importing the file, or Drum Session is doing something weird when exporting the MIDI file, but I'm glad it's an easy fix.
I would also recommend viewing the tempo track to make sure the whole track is in the correct time signature as well, if you have any MIDI import weirdness. Along the way, during the importing and redoing, and changing tempo in the settings, I ended up with multiple tempo sections.
Hopefully, this information is helpful to anyone who may be importing MIDI files into Logic Pro.
Original post:
I've got some MIDI files that import incorrectly into Logic Pro for iPad, but import correctly into other apps such as GarageBand and Helium. Logic correctly detects the tempo of the files, but even though the MIDI file is 4 bars in length, Logic imports it into something like 5.5 or 6 bars, so that the notes are stretched out. In this particular case, they are MIDI exports from the Drum Session app. I've tried exporting them all sorts of different ways from the app, but in every case, the MIDI file is wrong in Logic. I have a bad feeling it's some problem with the clock tick rate per quarter note and time signature specified (or not) within the MIDI file or something at that level. Any ideas?
