Importing and exporting MIDI Into Live
As a seasoned producer, you probably have some MIDI files handy as well, either because you downloaded them, you worked with someone who sent you MIDI information, or you sent some.
Either way, as long as the MIDI files are in the browser under Places, you can even pre-view MIDI clips in the browser. As with anything from the browser that you would like to add, just simply drag and drop it into an empty clip slot, or into the timeline in Arrangement View:

Alternatively, you can drag and drop MIDI files from any folder of your computer if you don’t feel the need to preview them in the browser first:

In Arrangement View, you may be asked whether you want to import the tempo and time signature of the MIDI data.
