Time Signature with duplicate starting timestamps

[gabe]

I’m using CoreMIDI to read midi files and you can have multiple time signatures in a MIDI file like shown in VaildTS.png that I posted.

But I notice that when I create a MIDI file in EZKeys, I get multiple time signatures which wouldn’t be an issue except, the starting timestamps are both at zero.

See attached pics TS1.png and TS2.png. TS2.png wouldn’t create a issue for me since both time signatures are at 4/4, it’s TS1.png that would be an issue.

II’ve included both MID files in a zip file.

Hi,

if I create and Export a MIDI file on the EZkeys Song Track, where I drag down MIDI with different Time Signatures, it gets properly read in Logic, i.e. Time Signature changes where expected. Do you have Logic?

Can you post that MIDI file that you said you created and was read properly in Logic.

Sure, here it is:
TimeSig_test

Not sure how you created those multiple time signatures using EZKeys, maybe you can post a video that shows that.

In the meantime, watch this video that shows the time signature issue with EZKeys that I’m talking about.

Even Logic set the time signature to the last time signature in the MIDI file created with EZKeys, which is incorrect because I set the time signature to 6/4 not 4/4 in EZKeys.

OK,

it seems that you have turned off the notification/option to Import Tempo/Sig in Logic.
Don’t know if it’s just that or something else but I attach a small screen capture of what I do. Not as elegant as your video but hopefully you see what I do.
