I wanted to start a new midi file project and for this purpose I first imported a purchased midi file into Cubase 14.20 and prepared it for export to VSTLive.
When I imported the created midifile into VSTLive (V2.2.18.xxx) using the media import function, I realized that the sound data was not being transferred to my Yamaha Genos2. All tracks play with standard GM Sound Piano. Lyrics were not set up, although I had included the text file as a Cubase export. A chord track that exists as a chord track in Cubase 14 is not imported as a chord track in VSTLive either.
I then imported the same midi file using the VSTLive internal import function.
Lyrics were now recognized, but the chords in the midifile were not.
Furthermore, the song length of the directly imported midifile is not correct. The song track ends at bar 81, although the lyrics track goes up to bar 89. See picture. This problem has been known to me for months and has still not been completely resolved.
The VSTLive file imported directly is also not played correctly. All tracks sound in GM Piano Sound. This also applies to version 2.2.17.xxx.
I have also noticed that it takes more than 15 seconds to switch from one midi file to another. See the attached video: Several times even the transport (start) stopped after clicking.
It is not possible for me to use VSTLive with Midifile at the moment.
I have also loaded the same project into VSTLive version 1.4.75.921.
There it works immediately and without errors.
I have provided the project file for you to check.
