ctrlzjones Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I have a couple of midi files named in the finder e.g. - Drum1 - Drum2 - Drum3 but when I drag/import the files into my DAW the name that appears for the clip is often totally different. So the question: How can I edit the name for the midi file that appears in the DAW (Logic/Live) I am flying on OS X Lion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuriken Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) The title is probably embedded in the file. I just dont have any clue how to change this in Logic. Edited January 8, 2014 by Shuriken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctrlzjones Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) The title is probably embedded in the file. I just dont have any clue how to change this in Logic. one can change the name of the files appearance in the DAW; be it Logic, Live or whatever; and then export as and it stays renamed after that ... but this is not what I am looking for. it would take weeks to do that. there should be an application that turns the filename into the name of the files appearance. we have these meta-tag access batchers for mp3s since day 1. why don't we have that for midi (that is 20 years older)?

Because it's 20 years older and a totally different thing. Because it's probably embedded in a proprietary way, encapsulated in a SysEx string? You could volunteer to write such a tool if you can't find one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just an innocent user, happy to keep things together, who does not even know what a SysEx string is ... I also find it hard to believe that I am the only one that has a need for such a tool ...

Shuriken Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Just curious, did you register on this forum just for this question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctrlzjones Posted January 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 yep just for this question, and then I found a solution myself elsewhere. It is called 'MidiKit' and it can not only access track information but also change between midi types 0 and 1; something I was also after for a long time ... No batch processing though ...
