Request: Import drag'n'drop midi #77

Open jpnielsen opened 3 years ago

jpnielsen commented 3 years ago

Import and properly append midi snippets dragged from other applications.

Most DAW's (on windows, not sure of other platforms) are capable of importing MIDI by drag'n'drop.

Drum sequences from EZDrummer (Toontrack) Drum sequence from Virtual Drummer2 (UJAM) Chord(progressions) from Scaler 2 (Plugin Boutiqe) etc.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm curious as to what you mean by "properly append", both for Timeline and for the single-clip sequencers. For Timeline, I think I'd expect the new clip to appear in first empty space in the target track. But for Melody and Drummer, I think I'd expect the MIDI file to simply replace the existing sequence. Is that what you had in mind, or something different?

Sounds right.

Reopening because it's a sensible feature request.
