If MIDI drag and drop is not working in your DAW...you might need to turn off MIDI Markers

Are your midi notes not showing up in your DAW when you do a midi drag and drop of your chords or midi capture ? If so, your DAW might not like the MIDI Markers that are imbedded in the file.

If all is working as expected, do nothing. However, if you drag to your DAW and get an empty midi event, you might try turning off markers.

To turn this off, go to Settings/Session: set EXPORT MIDI MARKERS to OFF and set as Default.

I’ve only seen this occur in one simple DAW - Rolland’s ZenBeats and it does not impact Studio One, Maschine Software or MPC Beats (Windows). But just in case this shows up in other places, I wanted to post the fix.
