Multi track .mid file import into Loopy Pro

in Loopy Pro

I'd like to import all tracks in a .mid file into a single Loopy Pro midi clip, is this possible?
Tried using midi clip import and I can figure out how to bring in each track separately.
Also, tried multi window mode on iPad and dragging the .mid file into Loopy Pro, but still only got a single track.

Looked through the manual, forum search, wiki, google search...Wondering if I need to somehow turn the .mid into a single track first. I'm sure this is familiar territory to others, so welcome your comments

    Upload a zipped midi file that you expect Loopy to open that t doesn't.

    It is possible that you may need to use a go-between app to save as a single track MIDI file. I am not sure whether multi-track files are supported.

    When attempting to import into a midi clip, it opens the multi track file and provides the ability to preview/import each individual track, but not the whole (as far as I can tell)...Not sure if that was clear...Happy to upload the .mid file, if you still would like me to do so...Thanks

    I guess I am unclear what the issue is. Can you provide a demonstration and what you expect?

    I'm wondering if/how I could import all/some of the tracks in a .mid file (instead of just 1 track) into a Midi clip.
    I just emailed the zipped .mid file to you via your support email.
    In order to replicate what I did, just try to import the .mid file into a midi clip.
    Please let me know if you need any further info.

    Thanks

    @danm: with multi-track files, you can choose which track gets imported into a clip. Only one track per clip. You will have to use one clip per track.

    Thanks @espiegel123. Any tools you are aware of that would make it easy to batch import the entire .mid and create a single track file that would merge them all quickly/efficiently, by any chance?

    Sorry, I don’t.

    Midi Tape Recorder can import multi-track midi files, and then export the tracks one-by-one as single track files. However, it's limited to four tracks.

    [edit] oh wait. That's more trouble than the existing workflow.

    Importing to separate clips, then merging the clips is the best way I can think of.

    One may need to be careful about midi channels. If I recall correctly, the tracks in multi-track midi files are not necessarily on unique channels and can potentially be multichannel themselves
