|
|
I have a file with 388k of content but for some reason it's blank and I can't open it up. It's smaller than a folder, more like a blank square (with a little fold in the top right corner) but how do I open it and access the stuff?
Thanks. |

That sounds like an undefined DOS file. If so, it's likely the M50 can't open it, or doesn't know what to do with it. It may well be a system file so may be best left alone. Usable DOS files are MIDI files with a .MID extension, and SysEx files with an .EXL extension.

Thanks for the info. There is no file extension of any kind. When I try to load it to an open track it says 'illegal SMF data'. Any thoughts of what that means and if that is the dead end? |

It means that the file does not contain SMF (Standard MIDI File) data so it must be something else, and is not recognised by the M50 OS in the sequencer context.
