BBMO BUG: Save Track as MIDI File does not work properly

Tested on a Mac Mini M2 (Silicon) using Sequoia 15.1 using Vivaldi BBMO 1.5.0

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:
That a MIDI track will be saved as the entire song with all instrumentation and not just a few measures and some instruments.

WHAT IS HAPPENING:
The file resulting from the BBMO Save MIDI file used as an OPB song with the MIDI file in the INTRO is incomplete.

Here are the files and screen shots to illustrate the issue:

  1. Screen shot of MIDI file exported from DAW. It has 2,731 notes and 161+ measures

  2. Here’s the zipped MIDI file exported from my DAW
    Song v3 from DAW.mid.zip (1.9 KB)

  3. Here’s the screen shot from the BBMO Save Track as MIDI. It has 33 notes from 8 measures.

  4. Here’s the zipped Save Track as MIDI File
    Song v3 SAVED as MIDI from BBMO.mid.zip (954 Bytes)

Hi persist,

Thank you for reporting this issue! I’ve sent this information to the dev team for further investigation.

Hey there,

We could not reproduce this,

Could you provide the specific original file so that we could use to reproduce the issue?

Let us know, thanks!

As requested:
A Forest - The Cure.zip (68.5 KB)
Contains three versions of the exported .sng files and the .mid files.

I can replicate the symptoms in Silicon macOS 15.2b, Chrome as well as Intel macOS 10.15.7, Chrome.

The process works as expected with .mid exports from the default content beats.

Thinking that this could be attributable somehow to my work methodology, I tested my observation with an OPB provided by another user. Same results. Here’s the files for that song as well.

The resulting Export to MIDI of OPB songs seems to be fewer than 7 measures.

Hello

Problem with BBMO since the beginning of November.

I could previously make a “Save track as midi file” of a file in its entirety.

Since then, I only have copied files of 6 bars maximum.

I don’t know if it’s just a coincidence, but it seems to me that it happened at the time you put “1/4T, 1/8T, 1/16T” into Division.

I’ve been using BBM for many years and in terms of organization I’ve gotten used to it, but every time I want to recover an entire file, modified by BBMO, I have to make a “save project” and an “open project”.

On the other hand, visually, if you could put the horizontal cursor on a white background, like the vertical cursor, it would be more comfortable when working on a black theme.

And what would have been perfect, without wanting to overdo it, is that we could manipulate the bars as in Beatbuilder.jar (Paste insert, insert time…)

That said, thank you and congratulations again for BBMO that everyone is waiting for probably with impatience and which personally changed my life by saving me a lot of time.

Kind regards.

Is this happening with one-press songs or with the default content songs?

Hello
The file is truncated as soon as it is saved as a midi file, even if it is imported into BBMO or another software.
Thank you



Hello,

Please send all relevant MIDI files and song files along with a short summary of the issue to support@singularsound.com so that we can take a look at it. Thank you!

I’m having the same issue.
OPB songs get shortened to 6 - 7 measures

This is currently in progress, more news soon

1.5.2 is out now with the fix
