I got some mail the other day from a user trying to use the midi loop program seq24 with MMA generated files. After some debugging it became apparent that the problem was that seq24 assumes that the last event in each track of an imported midi file is the point at which to start the loop over ... so if several tracks are in a single file and each track "ends" at a different midi offset a bit of chaos starts.
To help keep things in sync I've added a -1 command line option to the latest developer version of MMA. What this does is to truncate all the tracks to the current song pointer and insert a MIDI "all notes off" event at the end of each track.
I'm not at all excited about looping software, so my tests are pretty simple. If some of you would like to try this out and let me know if it all makes sense I'd be grateful. Maybe someone can try this with other looping software (I have no idea on what this might be).
The developer version is on the MMA homepage
