Hi all. Tried to post this hidden in another thread but no reply as of yet, so Ill post it here, to see if it will wake up anyone, having the same issues.

-----------

I have used - or tried to use - the songdupdater for a while now. I was able to create a decent backing track in BandInABox that were within the limitations of how large and which format a MIDI file can be for Px5d to handle. It all sounds ok, and loads into the PX5d well.

BUT! there's no way in h*** theres a chance to make it loop around in perfect tempo! No matter what I do. SMF format 0 or 1, PPQ 480 or less, midi this or midifile that. Doesn't matter. I've spent weeks on this. The factory preset files does this without skipping or adding the slightest beat.

Regardless of MIDI editor that I use. Cubase, Acid, Cakewalk, you name it.

Even when I do a "re-save" those default files under different name (to not overwrite original ones) they perform flawlessly, if there should be anything hidden that a save adds to a file to make it perform "unloop". I've tried most things, editing of events, and checked all system exclusive things and so on. It sounds like the Pandora - when it starts the cycle again - tried to "load" something, say patches or anything. There's and audible skip, that makes you play a 16th shorter, regardless of 48ppq or 480 ppq.

Any ideas?

I want my own songs to loop around without missing a beat, just like the regular default ones of Korgs own songs.
