Cannot drag midi from DP into SD3-SD does not recognize DP midi

[David Snow]

I should be able to drag a midi file from DP into SD3, I cannot.
When I put a DP individual midi file on the desktop and try to import it into SD3, SD3 tells me it is not a supported file. How can a midi file from one of the worlds longest running DAWs not be recognizable to SD3? As of right now, the way I have to do things is to manually record from a DP midi part into SD3. But this is not always the way I want to work. Please advise?

Hi,

dragging MIDI from a host to a plugin is not generally something that is supported by the majority of hosts out there, I’m not sure if DP would be an exception.
Importing a MIDI file from the Desktop should be working though.
Does it have a .MID or .MIDI file extension?
Could you perhaps ZIP one and attach to a post here?

BR,
John

Attached is a file dragged from the Tracks Overview onto the desktop. It is not a standard midi file export of the whole DP session. It is just one drum fill from the tracks overview in DP.

Ok, so you are saying: “dragging MIDI from a host to a plugin is not generally something that is supported by the majority of hosts out there”.
Here’s what I do not understand about that:
The way I most often get drum beat midi from SD3 is to drag it into the TRACKS overview window. So logic would have it, that if midi is designed to be IMPORTED into DP via the Track Overview window, why wouldn’t;t it also be designed to be dragged FROM the Track Overview window , INTO SD3?
