How to Import MIDI Files into Music Maker

Why MIDI Matters

MIDI files store notes, timing, and instrument channels rather than recorded audio. Music Maker can convert a MIDI file into a Music Sheet so existing songs play in-game without manual note entry.

Import Steps

1. Locate the mod's folder inside your Minecraft instance directory. It typically contains a subfolder for music or sheets.

2. Drop your .mid file into that folder.

3. In-game, open the Music Sheet editor or the import screen (usually reachable from the sheet item or a related block).

4. Select the MIDI file from the list.

5. Choose how channels map to instruments. A General MIDI file may use many channels; assign each to an instrument you have.

6. Confirm the import. The mod generates a Music Sheet you can save and play.

Fixing Common Issues

• Silent tracks: the channel was mapped to an instrument you don't have nearby. Reassign it.
• Wrong tempo: adjust the sheet's tempo after import.
• Too many notes: simplify by removing percussion or harmony channels.

Tips

• Test with a short MIDI first to confirm your folder path and mapping.
• Keep filenames simple; special characters can break detection.
