Re: [seq24-users] seq24 error reading file

[David C. <dav...@gm...>]

still having this issue...it seems to do this when I record midi input from
my synth...so im thinking that maybe my synthesizer (mono evolver keyboard)
is sending something through its midi output that I cant see into the midi
bus of seq24.  Once I save the file and re-open it, seq24 cant read this
information in its saved file and then wont display that sequence loop.
This is only my theory of what is happening...my current workaround is after
I create a sequence loop using my keyboard, I then copy the notes from that
sequence loop into a new sequence loop that I create by hand...then I delete
the original sequence loop.  This saves properly.
