If you drag & drop midi to a renoise track it creates a new pattern and a track and also a new instrument. So you have to move the pattern and swap the instrument number to the right one.
So… how could you import midi directly to the correct instrument number and in the track that you are draggin to?
The first good point is that Renoise assign the same instrument name for all midi import…With a bold font for all import point…A marker for each import
Unfortunately, the current MIDI import is completely unusable for any serious work. I still can’t understand the strange logic behind how it was implemented from the very beginning — it just doesn’t make sense. There are plenty of successful examples out there that actually support and inspire creativity. Here, the function technically exists, but it’s so poorly executed that I simply can’t use it. Every import turns into a tedious routine: reassigning channels manually, fixing things one by one — it all wastes a huge amount of time. I really believe it shouldn’t be this way.
there are several bottlenecks there that if fixed will fix this problem. if you try to drag a midi script from sonic charge microtonic you will clearly understand what I mean
