i think we should have the option to insert a midi file in a track or tracks (with all the required options and settings concerning tempo, duration, time signatures adding patterns, extending pattern lines)
instead of just opening it as a new file.
yep,
for now open two instances of Renoise, use one for the midi importing and copy, paste data between them.
never thought of that! thanks.
I support this suggestion. When working with products from Toontrack where all grooves/fills/beats/etc. are stored as midi files it would a great help if you could just drag’n’drop them directly into a track(s) like you do in Cubase for example.
yes, working with toontrack or other similar products is not easy with the current renoise midi behavior.
currently, importing midi loops sucks hard 
my ideia for importing midi loops:
- place the cursor on the track where you want the midi loop to be imported
- select the instrument you want to have in the midi notes
- and finally import the midi loop
done 
importing a midi loop would not destroy your current song. it would just merge new loops into your current song. that is how it works in any other software.
