i can see the reasons why it would not work, but would be great to import midi from other songs to use within renoise! 
Have you actually tried loading a .MID file?
yes, with all the other daws ive used it tends to be in file-import-import midi or something like that. i just had a look round right now and cant seem to find where to import midi, a little help? 
just load it as you would do with any XRNS, like for example by drag and dropping the file on Renoise window or using the Disk Operation Renoise panel: Disk Op panel also shows MID files, not just XRNS files
oh right i see! i was looking out for something specifically saying ‘import midi’ haha thanks alot!
In the preferences you have import options, there you can amongst others set if a specific midi out device should be used to create the instruments.
That’s the only pre-configuration you can do before starting to import, but other than that it is less complicated than you expect.
thanks for this. I wasn’t aware of midi import either. how about midi export?
