Imported midi files has 8 bars silence in front

[Thomas]

Hi,

I´m using EZkeys also to pre-listen brass midi files. However the new ones I bought do have 8 bars of silence in front before the midi notes start. When I drag´n´drop them into Logic all is fine and they start as expected. Anything inside EZkeys which I have to change so I can listen without the silence in front?

Look to the pic in attachement: there is a “-” als a placeholder on the start of the file.

I assume the midi file needs to be converted to another type of midi..?

-cheers, Thomas

EZkeys version: 1.2.5

This is a common occurrence in both drums and piano loops from 3rd party producers. It’s caused by some info contained in the MIDI file headers that the Toontrack browser interprets as a pause. It happens in both the initial or the final part.

I normally edit’em and save’em with the right lenghts, then I go deep in the program, look for’em and change the actual name, so they correctly show up in the browser next time you use EzKeys again. Kinda PITA, but it works.
